Does Cohan care about state of the Warriors?

I'm trying to understand how the owner of the Warriors can let what is going on to his franchise happen. I understand it is a business for him, and a means to make money. But you would think he would like the team to be successful as it was the past few years. We finally find a player (Baron) and GM (Mullin) who make the team the talk of the NBA. The Oracle becomes the most electrifying arenas in the NBA. Why not do everything you can to keep this going as long as you can. Instead, changes are made that make no sense at all to the die-hard Warriors fans, so how can it make sense to the ones running the organization. I understand there are money matters at play, but the moves don't seem to have saved any money, and have made the team worst-off. You let your most important player and team leader go. He was as important to the Warriors, if not more, as Lebron is to the Cavs, or Wade is for the heat, or Kobe is to the Lakers. These teams would do all they could to keep these special players. We did the least we could to keep Baron. Baron led the team with his confidence that he could back-up with his play, and made everyone better.

We also seem to be forcing Mullin out of a job in which all he did was to make the Warriors relevant again and showed he really cared about the fans and the success of the team. Good luck with the Knicks Mullin. I'm sure you are going to make them the most exciting team to watch in the NBA.

We as Warrior fans need to stop attending games. Unfortunately, this is the only way to show management that we are not happy with the state of the Warriors and the direction they are taking us once again. We can still watch them on TV, and support them, but by attending the games, that give support to the moves they have made. We are a bad team now. Monta will help, but we still will be a bad team. Baron opened up a lot for Monta. I can envision Monta jacking up more 3's because of the lack of fastbreaks, and not being the player he was with Baron (Another Crawford). We are a bad team, that good teams sometime will play down to our level (Example: recent win over the Celtics). Oh well. The brief "We Believe" era was fun and one I may be telling my kids 20 years from now were the best times we had as Warriors fans, and the last time we made the playoffs.

I was just checking out various reports around the web about Baron wanting to come back to the Warriors and saw this website

Mullin needs to stay. Rowell, all will be forgiven if you pursue the reports that Baron wants back, and bring him back to the bay. It will show you really do want what's best for the Warriors. Work with Mully to make this happen. Cohan, we need Mullin (and Baron if possible) in this organization. They took us to a place we haven't seen in years, It's not too late!

Letting Baron go worst business decision ever

If you are running a business, it makes no sense to let your biggest and best asset go. That's what the Warriors did when they let Baron go. I know Rowell has been saying he chose to leave, but everything the Warriors (Rowell) did during the off-season led him to that decison. He made everyone else on the team so much better, and excited the home crowd like no other . He was so clutch too.  I don't think the Warriors will ever have a player like that ever again. We aren't a franchise that will be able to attract the top free agents. I guess we are what we are. We had a glimpse of what it was like to be an exciting, good team for a brief spell while Baron was here, but i think the Warriors now and in the future will be as we have always been, mediocre. We may get good players, but none with the confidence that match the skills Baron had. I'm tired of watching Maggette and Crawford and Jackson shoot so many bad shots. They get their numbers, and that is all Maggette and Crawford seem to care about. They are set in their ways and at this point in both their careers, they aren't going to change or get better. Didn't we know this before we acquired them? My impression of both Maggette and Crawford were high scorers who didn't really help their team win. They both don't have exceptional skills, don't make their teammates better, and are very expensive. It's so obvious what we lack, even once Ellis comes back. Are we going to make any moves that make sense for the franchise? Probably not.
COHAN, please just announce Mullin has full control over personnel decisions so Warrior fans can have a glimmer of hope.  The Rowell thing isn't working. Maybe Mullin can muster up a little more of his magic with Rowell not in his way screwing up things.
