Everyone on the current Golden State Warriors roster should be on the table in a trade. As of writing this team has the 4th worst record in the entire NBA.

There's only 1 way to go.

UP.

So JUMP!

Warriors: 7-17

Blog Buddy: Pounding the Rock

Around the Association: An Apple a Day...

First thing's first. I love GSoM. Since last Saturday on the front page we've had:

• a diagnosis and some cures for The Suck
• Chris Mullin's favorite free agent point guard signing on the wrong side of a Slam insert
• Links, links, and links about the Warriors back to back disappointments
• Deja Vu in Detroit
• Q&A with our man MT about Warriors bright spots, the next Warrior to be traded, and the super popular Robert Rowell (just kidding about the popularity)
• The Warriors ranking as an "entertaining mess"
• Feltbot joining team GSoM
• The Sixers not exactly showing the Warriors some brotherly love
• The great distraction the 49ers gave us on Monday Night
• Flat tire on road trip finale
• The Answer (for the Sixers)
• So many deck chairs, so little time
• Anthony Randolph and every single Golden State Warrior on the trading block
• The beginning of The Jeremy Lin Movement

Imagine what this place would be like if this team was actually good.

Imagine hard.

Real hard.

Because chances are that's not going to happen for a long, long, long time.

Before we move forward flip back to my colleague JAE's insights on Anthony Randolph before the season began: Anthony Randolph- Hope Beyond the Hype :: 2009-2010 Golden State Warriors Player Recaps and Previews 

Regardless of who you want to blame, I don't think it's a stretch to say that we were all expecting more than 11.3 ppg, 6.5 rpg, and 1.2 blocks from the second year big man. At the end of last season we polled folks on whether Randolph or the Kings forward Jason Thompson would have a better sophomore campaign. I don't think there's any question right now that JT is having the better campaign.

Were we hoping for too much?

JUMP for the rumor and more!

Just like the rest of the GSoM Crew, you're probably well aware of the masterful craftiness of Feltbot. You've witnessed his guest recaps on GSoM and Feltbot's Warriors blog. So naturally we asked the good man to join our growing and unstoppable band of hoops junkies. Here's how it went when Fantasy Junkie and I tried to get Feltbot to join our writing staff...

AB1: "Feltbot! Felbot-tronics! Felt-botanical gardens! Join our golden crew and as we say over here in Dubs land, you'll have a great time out!"

FJ: "Plus we've got fly threads! I mean you saw our retro GSoM Night 7 jerseys. Just wait till you see what we've got in store for GSoM Night 8!"

Feltbot: "This is all very true and sounds exactly like the kind of exciting, labor intensive, low paying gig I've been searching for all my life! I'm in. BUT...

AB1: "But what?

Feltbot: "I'll only join the crew if you two jokers beat me in a game of poker."

FJ: "Ummm, this shouldn't be too hard. I mean AB1 and I are the masters of fantasy sports. Poker? Psshhh... we got this!"

AB1: <whispers to FJ: "Are you nuts?!">

ALL IN.
