Warriors Announce Training Camp Roster...

streetballer — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 23:29:46 -0000

Yah, this is the 2007 Roster. It was announced on October 1 2007. That's over 60 days from now! Point is, there many things that can happen from now until then - trades included. Last year we took 18 people to Hawaii. Who knows how many this year?

So relax a little - quit the infighting - and find some time for that second job to pay for increased Warriors ticket prices, hotdogs and beer come the 2008 -2009 Season.

BTW, anyone remember Monta's injury last year in training camp?

12...13...14...15?

streetballer — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:41:36 -0000

So we lost a few players -> signed a few new ones -> had some new and exciting faces in the summer league games. Is it addition by subtraction as JAE suggested? Let's assume Kosta returns, Monta, and Beans sign up to pay Nellie-ball in 2009...

Who is number 15? Do we go with a summer league player (Morrow - great offense - Deadeye from 3 - or Jamont Gordon (another point -lefty - got 20 last game) or someone else?

What if Kosta stays abroad? Can you think of two players? Remember the cap and luxury tax. Option Zero…We liked him! Where is his excel spreadsheet when GSOM needs it?

Is there another "active trade" on the board for us? Who?

Come on GSOM...show us what you got

Added - Jamont Gordon to SL

Jax - Ultimate Warrior!!

streetballer — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:56:40 -0000

Consistant - Dependable - Durable - our Captain!

Jackson's status is up in the air for tonight's contest after spraining his left ankle Saturday. The injury occurred midway through the third quarter when Jackson was fouled in midair by Mike Bibby during a 2-on-1 fastbreak, and he landed partially on Bibby's foot, causing the ankle to roll over. Jackson's status is day-to-day. ... Nelson tried to pull Jackson from the game immediately after the injury, even if just for a minute or two, but the captain -- who was moving very gingerly around the Warriors' postgame locker room -- was having none of that. "I knew if I came out of the game, it would have got stiff, and I wouldn't have been able to get back loose again," Jackson said. "It would have just been hurting more. I just wanted to keep going and deal with the pain (later)."

Trash talk or reality...Jax trade?

streetballer — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:39:35 -0000

We all love Jax and what he has brought to the warriors. Sometimes though...

http://www.realgm.com/src_feature/1133/20080204/sjax_trade_me_east_so_i_can_go_to_new_orleans/

Multiple teams have already contacted the Warriors about Jackson's availability, but nothing seems imminent. The best deal on the table thus far, according to Chris Mullin, involves dealing Jackson to Toronto in exchange for center Rasho Nesterovic.

Mini-Camp Day 1- Webber finds fun in run-and-gun

streetballer — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 18:48:08 -0000

O.K.. We know there are skeptics and believers. Only time will tell how CW helps or hurts us. I know there has been discussion here on where CW will play and whos minutes will be affected.

He's going to be my change guy, my screen-and-roll man, my high-post guy," Nelson said last week. "Now there will be more emphasis put on (Andris Biedrins) running the court, getting down through, establishing low, on (Al) Harrington running through, getting out, extending the defense - as opposed to those guys running the screen-and-rolls.

"That'll be Webber's job when he's in the game," Nelson continued. "We're not expecting him to be in the fastbreak. I want the other four guys to run."

Round 2 - Welcome Back CJ

streetballer — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:35:03 -0000

Thought you guys would like this...

The first game I got here he (Baron)handed me some bundled up twenty dollar bills and said "hey you new guy, make sure you get me two green teas in the morning before shoot-around and don't be late." Yes of course I got them, I ain't no punk though don't get it twisted, it's just all a part of the things they make rookies do. I got an extra $40 out of the deal because he let me keep the change.
