Michael Jackson hospitilized with cardiac arrest, may be dead.

Very sad news. I'm hoping that the various radio stations are incorrect, and that he is still alive. The man is an icon, and changed the world of music forever. Honestly, I don't even care about the draft tonight after hearing this.

Brad Miller traded to the Bulls in 5 player trade!

Trade between the Kings and Bulls sending Brad Miller and John Salmons to Chicago for Andres Nocioni, Drew Gooden and Cedric Simmons. Chicago will be better after this trade. Sacramento may have done it for salary issues.

Report: Tyson Chandler traded to the Thunder

ESPN is reporting that Tyson Chandler is being traded to the OKC Thunder for Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith. This makes the Thunder a good young team, and gives them some toughness. The West just got a little bit better.

J Rich pulled over for wreckless driving

This is unfortunate. I think the worst part is that he had his son in the back without a car seat.

Report: Harrington out 2 weeks with bad back

Does this seem like a legitimate injury to you guys? It's obvious to everyone that Harrington wants out, and I'm wondering what will transpire over the next couple weeks. It's a little frustrating, because we could really use someone in Al's spot to come in and contribute. I think at this point, the Warriors should be open to all offers, and be aggressive on the phones. I'm a little worried though that this "injury" will turn people off from trading for him immediately. What do you guys think?

I figured he wouldn't play so soon after being acquired. This should be easy, they won't really have a point guard! Wait, we don't either....lol. Anyway, this would be the perfect rebound game for us, especially on national TV. Hopefully the fans will be pumped up, and we can keep Melo and JR Smith in check. I'd like to see Turiaf muscle up K-mart. Hopefully it will be a great time out!

Report: Iverson to Detroit for Billups and McDyess

I am kind of in shock of this trade. I don't think it works particularly well for either team, maybe just a way to get Iverson out of Denver. It'll be interesting to see if this shakes up anything for either squad, hopefully it will make Denver worse! Just wanted to get your opinions on if you think the trade was good for either team

Stephen Jackson, Golden State Warrior

"There'll be big talk in Houston, because Tracy McGrady has had his injuries and everyone knows about his trouble in the playoffs. There will be some clash in people's minds when he and Ron Artest work well together. And the Warriors -- we'll be there at the top of the West even without Monta Ellis for the first part of the season, and people are going to be talking about that."

I thought this made for an interesting read, and wondered what you guys thought about it. I am trying to be overly optimistic about this season because I think it won't be easy, but it really seems like we have a much more athletic and deep team than before. What do you guys think our record will be after November?

Warriors Sign Free Agent Justin Williams to fill up Roster

bayareaballa — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 18:51:18 -0000

http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/warriors_sign_justin_williams.html

The Warriors signed Justin Williams, which now brings the roster to 18. This is really a no risk move to bring in another big guy. With our roster as it stands, I'd like to see Nellie rotate a lot of guys in and see what combinations work. With Monta being out, it seems that the pressure will be off for a while, so it's a great time to experiment.

REPORT: Pietrus to sign with Orlando Magic

I'm happy for Pietrus, and for the Warriors. By adding Maggette, it really did make him all the more expendable. No more possessions lost because Mickael stepped out of bounds! We seem to be stockpiled with forwards and shooting guards, now if we could just get a steady point guard I will be very happy with this summer. Some might say we are overpaying Maggette, but the guy fits Nellie's system and he gets to the line like a maniac.
