Honestly, this trade, in my mind, would leave all three teams fairly happy with their additions. First off, the Warriors are looking for a playoff push and what they need are veteran players that have been in these type of situations. So here the trade goes:

Golden State

Trades: 

Baron Davis

Al Harrington

Brandon Wright

Marco Bellinelli

Receives: 

Rasheed Wallace

Chauncey Billups

Joe Smith

Damon Jones

Detroit would receive Baron and Anderson Varejao and possibly a pick from either GS or Cleveland.

Cleveland would receive Al Harrington, Marco Belinelli and Brandon Wright and possibly a pick from either GS or Detroit.

Golden States lineup would look like:

Chauncey/ Damon

Ellis / Azubuike(?)

Jackson / Draft Pick (?)

Rasheed / Joe Smith

Biedrins / Smith / Draft Pick

 

Possibility that Cleveland would give up more to.

 

 

Yeah this is pretty random but Matt Barnes had a video interview about the meaning of his tattoos and I guess its "pretty interesting" and he explains the FTH on his chest. By the way does anybody know which NBA player has the most tattoos? Just random thought.

I have no real opinion on this. It would be great for him to retire in his hometown but thats about it. He's completely worn out and his shot/assists would never be the same. He would be a good mentor for Monta and even Baron.

By the way, I'm high as hell so if that made no sense. cool.

Although this doesn't have any real relation with the Warriors, I thought it would just be diary-worthy that the "Yi Movement" is officially dead. I'm pretty surprised that his "people" let him sign with the Bucks. But I am also pretty glad that the Warriors never traded/drafted him as he didn't look very productive in the summer league compared to our very own Italian.

While the Warriors won't be getting dream acquisition Kevin Garnett, they appear ready to make their first dent in free agency. Golden State has been in talks with forward Austin Croshere, according to a league source, and is close to signing the 10-year veteran.

The 6-foot-10 Croshere averaged 3.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 11.9 minutes for Dallas last season after spending his first nine years in Indiana. He would give the Warriors some depth with the fate of their own free agents, Matt Barnes and Mickael Pietrus, still to be decided.

Not really sure what to think about this. He does have range but other than that I personally think that the Warriors can do better and should get a backup point guard (Earl Boykins?). Also, Croshere should go for cheap so this might be a move to not spend much and hopefully get Barnes or Pietrus.

Thoughts?

[Moderator's Note, by OptionZero:] Similar diary by muritqua deleted. No need for back to back diaries on the same topic, and this had triple the comments already.

Reported that he's signing a 57 mil / 6 year deal with the Charolette Bobcats. I guess we can all say that the Bobcats have a very good chance of making the playoffs. I actually believe that the Bobcats might have a better record then the Golden State Warriors. Just look at their depth and starting lineup. It's actually potentially sssscaaaary.

PG: Raymond Felton
SG: Jason Richardson
SF: Gerald Walalce
PF: Walter Hermann
C: Emeka Okafor

With Sean May, Matt Caroll, Adam Morrison coming off the bench.

This actually make me quite excited for JRich, because he could move to another playoff team rather than a building team.

Does anybody have the video of when JRich dunked on Jahidi in 03 (i think?, when white played for Suns). I remembered watching it and going crazy and they were about to fight. So does anybody have this video because I'm thinking about making a mix soon. Thanks in advance.

Channing Fyre, Steve Franchise for Zachy Randolph, Dan Dickau, and Jerome James.

WOW. PORTLAND REALLY MESSED UP. STEVE FRANCIS? Yeah, supposedly this is already a done deal. what a mess up on part for Portland. They really just killed the franchise. It's on yahoo somewhere, but what do you guys think about this horrible horrible horrible trade.

Paul Pierce stating that if the Boston Celtics don't start getting All-Star players that he is publically announcing that he wants to be traded. So what about the Oakland native to be part of the Warriors? And as much as I absolutely love Jason Richardson, what about Jason Richardson + Sarunas + 18th Pick for Paul Pierce?

Baron Davis
Paul Pierce
Stephen Jackson
Al Harrington
Andris Biedrins

The only thing that I feel horrible about is that how Jason could only expeirence one year of playoffs than fall back into another playoff drought with Boston. So, if anybody else can figure a way to find a deal to get Pierce in without losing too much? That would be a +++ for the Warriors.

FEEDBACK?

What if the Warriors won the western conference and pistons won the east, and the Warriors ended the Chris Webber curse by beating Chris Webber's team. :O

If there is a God, he will allow this to happen.
                                                                                                                                       

Has tickets released retail yet? I've heard some people already getting tickets but I'm assuming that they paid rape prices on ebay, stubhub, etc. This is pretty late for a ticket release on the Warriors behalf. So am I missing something?

and will Matt Barnes become a system player like how Brian Cardinal floursihed in Musselhead's system?

All around Dallas, its stirring that after the game, JRich shoved a fan down.

Any reports on this at all? because if this did happen, I could see the NBA with a zero tolerance on this unless the fan went into the tunnell and provoked Richardson. I'm actually guessing the fan did shove richardson and then when richardson shoved back the fan pulled a Devin Harris. Flopped.

Right now, the Warriors are playing absolutely horrible. From the perimeter, they've been lackluster and just look like a group of Mike Dunleavys. So how does Don Nelso solve this problem before it's too late? Adonal Foyle. The people that frequently go to the games know when shoot arounds happen, Foyle doesn't practice his post moves nor does he read his political books, rather he takes half court shots.

Now, just think about it! Foyle would draw the center out so much that the lanes would be wide open for Davis and Ellis.

Adonal Foyle is the Man, the X-Factor, the Sharpshooter.

Feedback!

What is up with Devin Harris?

Besides that, does Devin Harris take the cake for biggest flopper in the NBA? Perhaps more than Manu and Dumbleavy? Does anybody else agree with me that Harris is one of the most annoying NBA players? Just everything about him pisses me off.
