If Monta's claim that he went home to Jackson, MS to tend to family matters is true, that means he has a serious family situation going on. If this story is true, and his mom is indeed sick enough that he went home to see a doctor with her, then wouldn't it be likely that she hasn't been well for some time now? And isn't it 110% reasonable that he is distressed an/or unhappy? Instead of searching for any possible reason that the Warriors are a mess and that it's their fault, or that our star player wants out, shouldn't we consider what actually comes from the horse's mouth? That is, instead of listening to reporters who kick up stuff in order to gain readers and stay employed... how many times has Kawakami and MTII misled us before?

I'm not saying that Monta has looked happy with the team. I, myself, thought that he has been mopey like Randolph and hasn't seemed connected with or wanting to participate with the team. Ever since he started attending games in a suit I noticed he doesn't cheer for teammates or seem to care if the dubs win or lose. But to give him the benefit of the doubt, no player who wants to be on the court playing the game they love and is instead on the sidelines is happy about it. And no PERSON whose mother is seriously ill is in a very good mood either. All I'm saying is that we shouldn't jump to conclusions when there are viable answers right in our faces that we don't even consider...

hi everyone,

i've read gsom for over a year now but just got an account last night. i figure a great way to get some gsom cred would be a giving my two cents on what moves we could make to improve our squadron!

first off, we should trade boring maggette to the suns for...wait for it......wait for it.......... j-rich! we now have the cap space since baron left and of course the suns want a playa of maggettes caliba! i would also see if they'd trade barnes for mwilliams and rob kurz, cuz they know nash is half way out the door.

then we'd have j-rich to drain treys, slam dunk like a champ, and bitch slap fools such as mehmet okuh and devin harris! barnes can drain treys, play football D and make crazy outlet passes!

plus, those two combined have more heart than our entire team! (minus stackjack)

starting lineup: monta, j-rich, stackjack, barnes, andris!

backups: crawford, belinelli, morrow, randolph/wright, turiaf!

ultimate smallball!

give me your thoughts!

*disclaimer*  this was a cruel joke meant to force others into the depression i wake up to everyday!
