Good news, FA can be signed soon! Bad news, it's a modest list overall and few of the top FA are likely Oaktown bound.

check out the article for a dark horse candidate to replace Smart - has NBA credentials better than most other names being bantered about lately - and a tall long shot to keep an eye on

gotta look far and wide to keep hope alive sometimes

Seemed like there were calls for an OJ Mayo trade once a month hereabouts for about a year and a half. Now maybe we have found out why those rumors and hopes would have been a mistake had they been acted upon.

Double-Double Dub is on the way out, to Morrow on the way in

By all appearances AR was happy to leave GSW for NY, now he's asking out. Of course Amare is cutting into the PF time, but if AR was all that he'd be getting some time alongside him. That makes two experienced coaches who failed to maximize AR's potential. Does this development affect how we should assess the Nelson-AR relationship?

undoubtedly Smart will be target but the reality is simple:

we need more, better players

Would GSW dare to inquire? Would you want them to?!

Adam Lauridson suggests player and coaching moves, and non-moves, could be indicators of decisions already made but unspoken.

If LJ leaves, and both the team's centers could be gone in the wake - how bad would it be in Cleveland? People wouldn't likely jump off buildings but short of that nothing would surprise ... the author purports that Cavs could be strong playoff contenders whether or not King James is there ...

Golden State Of Mind GSW extends 2; chooses to not tender 2 - meaning?

Oakland Tribue reported that we secured the right to match offers to Anthony Morrow and CJ Watson, while we did not tender qualifying offers to either Anthony Tolliver nor Chris Hunter.

Goodbye AT!

Hanging on to two low cost guards, Morrow ($1m) and Watson ($1.25m), rather than two low cost big men might suggest that if anyone with a large contract is still to be moved it would be Monta Ellis, rather than Andris (Yahoo! Sports had reported a couple days ago that GSW was looking to move Biedrins).

 It's curious that we didn't hang on to one or the other of the big men as cheap insurance since both AR & BWright are coming off injuries and Udoh is unproven, at best.

It's also curious that GS chose to retain Watson, after last summer's dealings it was pretty clear he wanted a fresh start elsewhere (Magic) and returned only because he had no choice. A malcontent in the mix would not seem to be the best ingredient on the bench.

Any hint (or interest?) that Kerr ends up in an arena near you?

Golden State Of Mind Three playoff observations & a question

As Jackson made his way back from hyperextending his knee during the second quarter, perhaps he was playing a bit of possum?  His first drive in the third quarter, he blasted past the defender on the way to the hoop and generally played very strong during the second half against the Magic. While it was surprising that VC and Howard's foul trouble didn't hamper Orlando more than it did, it was even more surprising that Jax wasn't on the floor in the crucial last few minutes of the fourth quarter. Wonder what coach Brown knew that we didn't?

 The Spurs have been holding Duncan back all year, not playing him on back to backs and keeping his minutes under wraps to keep him fresh for the playoffs, yet he seems sluggish. Parker missed lot's of time with an injured hand but is now healthy - yet Coach Pop chose not to start Parker, instead bringing him in off the bench. Wonder what Pop is seeing that we don't?

Dallas made a big trade midseason that netted them Hayward and Butler to form a deep and formidable roster with Dirk, Kidd, and Marion. Yet in the playoffs the Mavs start Dampier at C rather than the obviously more athletic and effective Haywood. What would be the advantage gained there?

Q to fellow Dubsfans: Just curious, which playoff roster (either Eastern or Western) would you NOT trade our roster for? Assuming both rosters were healthy, is there a roster in the second season that you would rather not trade ours for straight up?

one columnist's predictions in early August mean little, but might mean more than that to some looking around the 7-8th spot ... jury's still out obviously but who knows, stranger things have happened

Golden State Of Mind We're tired of hearing about it already!




I am awed by the obvious amount of work and analysis FLAxwless put into his An In-Depth Study: Don Nelson Doesn't Play Rookies post. In the same vein of myth-busting, a category of posts started earlier this summer IIRC, I’m challenging you to provide some evidence for a this Myth: the JRich trade was made to re-sign Monta and Andris.

Once and for all, I’m trying to put the JRich trade & consequences into context so as not to allow revisionism to change our perception of what happened, and more to the point not allow revisionism to impact our assessment of the FO currently. Convince me I’m wrong, and I’ll gladly get off it. But please hear me out first (in other words, at least read the post through!). Then bring the heat, with some links or evidence!

Hakim Warrick signed with the Milwaukee Bucks. rather than the Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers and Charlotte Bobcats.

huh?

nah, not our boys, not our lads past and present!

take a mental guess of:
1) which current warrior YOU think is over-rated
2) which recently traded warrior is over-rated
(what?! they all don't IMPROVE once traded?!)
