What about Marion?

I find Marion to be the most interesting player who is available.

I read somewhere that Toronto only offered 21 mil over three years (at 7something mil each). If that is the case and we could get him at somewhere close to that, I think we should do it. His best play of his carreer was when he was playing in a run and gun system and he has always played great defense. He put up freakish statistics and used to help teams dominate categories like steals and blocks in my old fantasy basketball leagues. And many of the turnovers he created would equal easy buckets on the other end. When I was watching him 4 years ago, I never thought he would going at the price Toronto just offered.

If the Luxury level is at about 68 mil ( like predicted) we should have about 8 mil available after signing Curry and thats with claxton's 5.3 mil expiring contract. I believe that money could be well spent on Marion in a three year deal even if it is a little more than what Toronto offered. I think that he might be a guy who wouldn't mind coming here but I don't know. He should want to show everyone that he isn't over the hill and by choosing a system like ours he would be more capable of it.

If he could play for us like he did for the Sun's he would be a steal. Think about it. He has great defense, pretty good scoring, and years of experience. If he would be happy to be here, he could be a good leader for us.

I am wondering what everyone thinks about him on the warriors so write a comment.

Also if you guys know anything about what the warriors are doing (this offseason) or if any teams have met with Marion, Info would be appreciated.

It looks good if the Warriors stand pat, regarding Amare stoudemire

I was completely into this Amare deal when I heard about it. I even wrote a page argument for doing the deal a couple days after the draft, but never posted.

The Nba is always a money game. A game where a team with good contracts usually means success. I believe that if the warriors stand pat, they will be in incredible shape for the year after next. It is just hard to wait. I love Amare Stoudemire and believe that he could help our team immensily. I just don't think we should give up any more than Biedrins, Wright, Bellinelli, and Claxton for him and he must resign before the deal.

Remember that next year our first pick will be gone unless it is a lottery pick. (Because of the marcus williams deal). I hate saying this but it would be a good move to stay in the lottery for next year. Either that, or to be a top 10 nba team that goes deep into the playoffs, would make me happy.

Picks Asside. We must also remember that we have cap space now and if we don't trade away our expiring contracts, we will have a bunch next year. Next year's free agency class should change things considerably in the nba (because so many great players' contracts are going to be up) and teams who have the money will do well. I really do like trying to go after Amare but I also like the team Nelson (I believe, the most winningest coach in Nba history) has put together. If Amare would want to come to us and announce it, I would think different. But if we don't get him, We get to watch how he does this year and possibly sign him next year.

If Curry can be the point guard of the future for the warriors and be a star and If Randolph can Step it up as well, our W's as they are could be pretty tough to beat.

One guy I thought we should take a chance on, in free agency this year was Bibby, but only at a good deal, like mid level. I also think that Rasheed Wallace is pretty interesting. I know both of these guys are old but I think they either would bring some leadership and great play, especially if we were to limit there minutes, which is easily possible with our depth. I really think that we need a good veteran with strong leadership.

I think that after we sign Curry we will have about ten mil left under luxory. (if predictions are true at around 68mil luxury level.) It will be interesting to see what we do with that money. Keep up the good and smart moves Riley and Nellie. I believe in you guys more than anybody we have had in your positions since I became a W's fan when I was 10 years old.

Can't wait till next year Go W's, Niners, and Giants !!!!!
