These are guys that the Warriors could and/or should consider taking if guys don't drop. The talent after the top 5 is a big drop off, so a lot of these guys are in the same boat, but some make more sense to trade down for rather than use the 6th pick on them.

Greg Monroe 6'11" PF/C Georgetown: Best available at 6 in my opinion as of right now. Needs to work on low post game and lacks great athleticism, but could be a good pick and roll guy with Curry.

Al-Farouq Aminu 6'8" SF Wake Forest: Nice potential and would be decent at 6. Pretty uncertain about how good he'll be. If he shows that he has improved his perimeter game (jump shot, shooting range, ball handling) in draft workouts, and has buffed up a little bit, then I would say that he should be the pick at 6 if guys don't drop. 

Cole Aldrich 6'11" C Kansas: Probably will produce similar numbers as Biedrins, so not really worth it at 6.

Ekpe Udoh 6'10" PF/C(on our team) Baylor: Really good shot blocker with good skills.

Xavier Henry 6'6" SG/SF Kentucky: Don't really see him being any better than guys we have (Azubuike, Williams, Morrow).

Ed Davis 6'9" PF North Carolina: We already drafted this guy (Wright).

Donatas Motiejunas 7'0" PF Lithuania: Really good shooting big man who will probably have difficulty down low, which is not something we need, nor want. 

Hassan Whiteside 7'0" C Marshall: Not sure what to expect from this guy. Some people say he's a potential beast, and others say he's not a very good basketball player at this point. He's more of a trade down guy.

Paul George 6'8" SF Fresno State: Nice set of skills with good potential. Would be a solid player to trade down for.

Daniel Orton 6'10" C Kentucky: Didn't really get to show what he is capable of due to backing up Cousins, but looks like he has good potential. This is the guy I would really consider trading down for if Johnson and Cousins are gone. He's raw, but he looks like he could eventually be the steal of the draft. He probably would have been a top 5-10 pick next year if he stayed in school.

The heights of some of these player might be off by a little bit, but tomorrow is the NBA draft combine where they measure guys. So you could find out tomorrow.

Why are people so quick to put Randolph on the trade block, just because he didn't average a double-double in 22 minutes a game this year? People are expecting too much from Randolph too soon in his career. Not all guys come into the league and show consistency right away. The guy is ONLY 20 years old. He's still a KID. Curry is also still a kid, but he is more mature and played college ball for 3 years and got to learn a lot in those 3 years. Randolph on the other hand only stayed in college for one year (he should have stayed longer), and is still learning a lot.

Why do so many act as if he had a dissappointing second year in terms of his play? He actually had a solid second year in my opinion. 11.6 ppg, 6.5 rpg, and 1.5 bpg in 22.7 mpg is pretty good for a second year power forward who is ONLY 20. I think many people on here are really underestimating his performance in the 33 games he played in this year. A lot of people thought he would be a 15 and 10 guy in his second year, and anything short of that is considered a down year.

If you take a look at some guys who are good now at the power forward spot, they didn't play great right away. Some examples are Jermaine O'Neal (took him about 5 years to become good, and when he did, he was an all star), Josh Smith (had very similar stats to AR in his second year, but played 10 more minutes per game), David West (he didn't blossom until he got 30 plus minutes per game in his third year), Al Jefferson (Same deal as West), and Andray Blatche (Once he started playing 30 plus minutes per game when Jamison was traded, he became a major threat at the 4). Randolph is younger than those guys were when they broke out by a few years, which means he is ahead of most of them in terms of production at the beginning of their careers. Just because Randolph didn't go crazy and explode right away like KG, Duncan, Bosh, and Stoudemire did, doesn't mean he isn't going to be a star player.

Randolph only played 33 games this year, so his production was more than likely going to go up as the year went on and his minutes would have gone up. Next year he is probably going to get the chance to play 30 plus minutes a game, he'll probably get bigger and stronger, and it may be the year he breaks out. Even if it isn't, it doesn't mean that he won't break out and become the player that many people expect him to be. Don't worry about Randolph because he is right on track in where he is supposed to be in his development.  

Night in and night out Curry and Monta always seem to put up big numbers. But it is hard to tell if they really have any playing chemistry going between them. Curry seems get excited and lead the team on exciting runs, while Monta seems to be not as enthused about what is going on around him, although he has always had a quiet demeanor, and his lack of expression may not mean anything at all. The only way that the two of them are going to be able to build chemistry, is if Monta settles for second fiddle. Now that doesn't mean that he has to not be the main scorer, that just means he needs to let Curry create the offense and handle the ball, rather than him. He has shown that he is more than capable of doing that in the past when he played alongside Baron. He and Baron were able to win 48 games in their first  and only full season as a starting backcourt. Monta was fine with letting Baron run the show because Baron was already the leader of the team and an older veteran, plus Monta knew that he was next in line behind Baron. That's not the case with he and Curry. Curry is the Warriors new favorite, and he is showing that he is capable of commanding the offense. Monta is probably having a problem dealing with the fact that he is not the favorite like he used to be. He might be having a hard time trying to give a lot of responsibility to a rookie in letting Curry take over the offense. That doesn't mean Monta can't still be the leader of the team, it just means he may need to let Curry quarterback the offense. 

The reason why I think that the Warriors didn't make the Grizzlies trade, is because they feel or they are hoping that Monta can adjust and be able to work off of Curry, instead of the other way around. They want to see in the remaining 30 games or so, if Monta can cope with the fact that Curry is quarterback of the offense, and go back to the same role he had in the 07-08 season next to Baron. If the Warriors feel at the end of the season that Monta was not able to adjust to Curry, then I think that they will look at other options, and revisit the Grizzlies trade offer. Another thing that Riley probably factored into his decision, was the lottery. Let's say that the Warriors made that trade with the Grizzlies, then they get the number one pick (John Wall). That would mean the Warriors would have to make another trade possibly involving Mayo or Curry. Or maybe they get the number 2 pick and select Evan Turner, who can play either shooting guard or small forward. I'm sure that they will still have the opportunity to revisit the Grizzlies offer in the offseason. The Grizzlies are trying to get a guy to spice things up in Memphis, so that they don't end up having to move once again. Rudy Gay is already expected to sign with another team in the offseason, and has been rumored to have already talked about potential teams to join. The Grizzlies want to get a another "star", so that when Gay most likely leaves (they are probably not willing to pay Gay what he is expected to get on the market), they will have a guy to replace his production and his excitement, not to mention Monta would be a hometown favorite. Who knows, maybe an even better trade offer comes up. So it was only logical that they wait and see how the upcoming events pan out, and give Ellis and Curry some more time to gel together.

Since there have been a whole lot of Iguodala rumors, I thought I would throw out an Iguodala to the Warriors trade idea.

Maybe a trade like this

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ylhsck6

The Warriors get a dynamic overall player in Iguodala, and Dalembert who can rebound. The Sixers get Maggette to replace Iguodalas scoring, and even though Maggettes contract is fairly large, getting rid of 2 big contracts is worth it. They also get Ronny, Wright (who could eventually start for them at power forward alongside Speights, who can play center), and expirings (maybe even throw in Georges expiring, and if they had to, maybe replace CJ with Morrow).

It's really a pretty solid deal for both teams. The Sixers are able to shed some big contracts, and get some good players in return, while the Warriors get a big piece (Iguodala just turned 26) for the future, and they would only have Dalembert for one more season I believe. Iguodala would be able to take a bunch of pressure off of Monta, and would bring a different dynamic to the team. Iguodala scores in a bunch of different ways (inside, outside, upside down), gets his teammates involved (5.7 assists for a wing), rebounds great for his size (6.9 rebounds), and plays solid defense (1.9 steals and .58 blocks). No way the Warriors would be able to resign Bosh or Amare, and Iggy is already signed for 4 more years after this one. It's better than trading for Butler (approaching 30 and seems to have passed his peak), Howard (same deal as Butler and throw in some character issues), or Gay (might demand more than what Iguodala makes and doesn't do nearly as much). You guys will probably say no way to Dalembert, but having to take on his contract for one or 2 more years is worth getting Iguodala. Maybe the Warriors wouldn't even have to give up that much for Iguodala, but I think that getting him would possibly have a similar impact as when they got Baron. I'm not saying he's as good as Baron was, but he is kind of an unnoticed star a lot of the time, and he would bring another dynamic to this team to get them back in the hunt. Also, Iguodala could put up near LeBron type numbers on the Warriors.

What do you guys think?
