I remember before the season started, there was an interview of Riley saying that the difference this year was that everyone was healthy. Note: I can't find the video, but it's somewhere in GSW's youtube page.

He said players who were banged up last year are healthy this year, which was true at that moment. Monta Ellis' ankle is not injured anymore, but has probably changed his game because of that. We were basically set and ready to go when everyone was healthy.

But as the off-season went on, things changed...

First off, I would like to say there has been many many " possible trade" threads and most likely none of them would even happen. I don't think the Warriors have to make many trades except for the 2 obvious ones, Corey Maggette and Jamal Crawford.
And then there is the untouchable list. This list are the names of the players on the Warriors roster I would really hate to see leave in a trade this offseason. Also it could happen this upcoming draft. 

I don't know why people are so eager to hope for trades right away just because of a major losing season.

          Let's all assume that the main position the Warriors are going to select this upcoming draft is a Point Guard. That being said, there are many PG's in this years draft with their own limit of talent and skill set. I am not going to rank them in order because you'll never know who's better than who until they play in an NBA game.

Would you be suprised if Monta Ellis is no longer a Warrior by next season?

Meaning Monta Ellis would be dealt in a trade during this offseason. As much as he is a valuable player, There IS NO PERCENTAGE of Monta being traded.

Either way, the Warriors roster would still be not only exciting, but will compete for a playoff spot, or maybe more.

So here's my scenario; ...IF Monta is traded for whatever reason,

Say we get Bosh or Amare for Monta and other's, I rather keep Biedrins than Monta because defense is what wins games for you.
-Don't get me wrong, Monta is full of offense but crappy on defense.
-So we get rid of 'some' offense(We won without Monta multiple times)
and we gain some defense(from whoever we get from the trade)

Lineup would be like-

PG- Marco
SG-Steven Jackson(Defensively, I like him, but Turnover MANIAC)
SF- Azabuike
PF-Bosh, Bargnani, Amare or (Whoever we get for Monta& Wright or Maggette)
C- Biedrins

2nd Unit-

PG- CJ Watson- (Whoever we draft-Ty Lawson, Patty Mills, etc.)
SG- Morrow    (He can improve his handles during offseason)
SF- Maggette   (If he doesn't get traded)
PF- Randolph- Wright   (If he doesn't get traded)
C- Turiaf- Davidson- Kurz

*And Crawford, if he doesn't opt out, he probably will get traded for someone who'll be in the 2nd unit also.

I really want Toronto to trade Bargnani and/or Bosh for Monta & Pieces(Exluding randolph) Because- then we'll have the Italy connection with Marco and Bargnani.

Imagine a Starting lineup to be like this:

PG Marco
SG Steven Jackson(Can't get rid of him, 1% chance he'll get traded, no team wants him)
SF Azabuike or Bosh(If we get him)  Randolph( If Randolph, The Lineup is VERY TALL)
PF Bargnani- Randolph
C Biedrins -Turiaf/Davidson/Kurz
-Morrow can be a SG/SF in 2nd unit and CJ& Draft pick 2nd unit for PG.

I know I lack stats and not accurate, so don't take things too seriously.

I don't hate Monta so please don't flame me.

I'm asking for your honest opinion on 'Do you THINK or WANT Monta to is going to be/stay a Warrior.'
