I know I hate the Kings but If they were to move down SJ...I dont know about how the rest of GSOM feels, but I think a team in San Jose would be a good idea. But to cheer against the Dubz would be crazy hard. A few years back if anyone remembers, the Dubz played a season at the Shark Tank while The Oracle was under renovations and I was able to go to more games. Even though we were bad at the time I enjoyed it. Anyway, If San Jose can get an the Kings, how many of GSOM'ers would convert to San Jo Royalty?If you think about it, GSOM blew up once the Dubz went mainstream a few years back, so Im sure a few would defect.

According to steinmetz he might be a bargaining chip here's the links:

(I dont know how to make the link... but cut and paste it)

I love the energy Ronny translates onto the court, it makes me feel like I'm on the court but if we can get a proven PF, why not? I understand we'd have to package him with either Crawford/Maggette/Ellis or any of the other scoring guards we have. I feel we need that star power we lost in Baron and Jax is not the piece. So if we could either Bosh or Amare, would you package Ronny in a deal?

Package Turiaf?

none the less it beats talking about the post season or off season or trade machine!

ESPN's john hollinger's Prediction

gogomaplata — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 06:30:14 -0000

I know a few may think that hollinger's system is b.s. but if you read about this he does have a few valid points.

its been another frustrating year just like last season, we waited till the last game!

its a love/hate relationship. if we make the playoffs we forget the roller coaster that took us there, we dont make the playoffs and the whole team needs a make over! (sounds like my girlfriend urgh)

anyway heres the link:

for all those that thought "tru-warrior" was our missing piece, looks like Artest isnt going to the warriors or anywhere else. am i the only one that hopes it stays that way?

"I am anxious to see what my future holds, [but] I like Sac," Artest wrote in an e-mail. "My entire focus is with Sac and winning a championship this year."

oh and good luck with getting that chip with sac.

Rumor: Pietrus to Orlando

keyon dooling, carlos arroyo and jj redick maybe on the trading block? who you take in trade for MP2?

heres a couple snipits from the article:

Could a Magic team that has been strangely inconsistent for weeks be shopping Dooling, or even point guard Carlos Arroyo, who moved into the starting lineup four games ago? The Magic aren't allowed to comment on players on opposing teams, but they are keeping their eye on the availability of Golden State small forward Mickael Pietrus.

OT: dunleavy is at it again...

gogomaplata — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 23:34:06 -0000

"The stuff he brings to the table," Dunleavy recently said about O'Brien, "fits well for me, for this group of players and this team. We're not just standing around and watching one or two guys play."

is dunleavy saying the warriors stand around and watch one or two guys play? where would he get that idea anyway?

WHAT DOES CHARLOTTE THINK OF JRICH???

gogomaplata — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 17:03:13 -0000

heres what they're saying:

http://www.charlotte.com/bobcats/story/178277.html

The Bobcats found their offensive weapon Thursday, trading the draft rights to rookie Brandan Wright to the Golden State Warriors for shooting guard Jason Richardson and the rights to rookie Jermareo Davidson of Alabama.

http://www.gastongazette.com/sports/bobcats_6360___article.html/richardson_draft.html

In Richardson, the Bobcats hope they've found the fourth-quarter go-to guy Jordan has said he's desired since joining Bob Johnson's ownership group before last year's draft.

http://www.charlotte.com/bobcats/story/178224.html

http://www.gastongazette.com/sports/better_6362___article.html/wright_richardson.html

eTalk about a bad PR move
You're kidding me, right Mike? You're really telling me that you're giving away Brandan Wright, a top-five talent that fell into your lap at No. 8, for an over-rated swing player that can't play defense?
Oh, wait. It gets better. For the most part, it sounds like they're excited!
