The J-Rich deal will make you worse off this season IMO...

nah that was a great trade for GS.  Im one of J-rich's biggest fans but cmon, its obvious that GS got the best of the deal, its easy to see.  The Warriors will be just fine and tcall me crazy but I actually like the way their team is assembled right now compared to what it would of been if they traded for KG.  The Warriors are on the rise, watch out.

How does trading Jason Richardson for a pick make you better? Maybe in the long run, but not next year, obviously...No way are they better than they woulda' been with KG. Unless they make some changes, they will once again struggle to make the playoffs.

[R-Tistic]

If they run a similar lineup to last year, I'd assume....BD, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, and Brandan Wright start from 1-5, with Barnes and Biedrins as 6th and 7th men. Wright is MUCH MORE equipped to play center than Al Harrington or Barnes, who shared time at C last season.

I can't say the Richardson trade will help a whole lot, and they should have got a bit more for him...but it will let Monta shine more, and gives them a true post player.

[Lunatic]

the j-rich trade MIGHT help them down the road, but not right now ofcourse...don't forget J.rich wasn't exactly tearing shit up for them last season

i'd be more worried about the potential of losing barnes & pietrus...that would make suck, i doubt they'll make the playoffs if they lose those guys

[GangstaBoogy]

Pietrus will probably end up on the Heat. J-Rich is gone. KG didn't pan out. B.Diddy is still injury prone. Looks like the Warriors future is riding on Ellis, Biedrins, and Belinelli.

If J Oneal is traded to Oakland, what would Oakland have to give up?

don't forget J.rich wasn't exactly tearing shit up for them last season

J-Rich was injured for a good portion of the season, and he started the season on bad knees, but when he came back with stronger knees after 2 months, he was a key component in their playoff push, at both ends of the court...PeACe

[R-Tistic]

Pietrus will probably end up on the Heat. J-Rich is gone. KG didn't pan out. B.Diddy is still injury prone. Looks like the Warriors future is riding on Wright, most importantly, then Ellis, Biedrins, and Belinelli.

[Bay Area Jat]

i for one hated to see j-rich go but i am excited about wright and the warriors after there run in the playoffs. i think were more mature and experienced which boads very good for the upcoming season.

["THE" MoSav]

Brandon Wright's gonna be a Star, they werent gonna get any better with Jrich..They may have taken a lil step back but itll help them take a HUGE step fwd very soon. And Wrights gonna be ready to play right away.

Croshere might join team


While the Warriors won't be getting dream acquisition Kevin Garnett, they appear ready to make their first dent in free agency. Golden State has been in talks with forward Austin Croshere, according to a league source, and is close to signing the 10-year veteran.

The 6-foot-10 Croshere averaged 3.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 11.9 minutes for Dallas last season after spending his first nine years in Indiana. He would give the Warriors some depth with the fate of their own free agents, Matt Barnes and Mickael Pietrus, still to be decided.

Negotiations to keep Barnes in Oakland will start over this week with Aaron Goodwin after Barnes switched agents for the second time in two months.

Barnes filed paperwork to terminate short-lived agent Dan Fegan two weeks ago, league sources said. The Bay Area-based Goodwin, who also reps top draft picks Kevin Durant and Al Horford, is expected to seek a multiyear deal from the Warriors.

Nelson update: John O'Connor, the representative for coach Don Nelson, met with Warriors team president Robert Rowell over lunch in Oakland on Tuesday to continue renegotiating Nelson's contact. Nelson is due $3.1 million in each of the next two seasons, but is seeking to have up to an additional $3 million in annual bonus money guaranteed. "Our talks have been conversational rather than adversarial, and positive in tone," O'Connor said. "However, we are a ways from being finished."

Warriors Want Posey For Pietrus?

August 1, 2007 - 11:26 am
Miami Herald -
Though a sign-and-trade with Golden State involving free agents Mickael Pietrus and James Posey makes sense, Miami is reluctant because it doesn't want to pay a substantial luxury tax. (Miami already is about $1 million over the threshold.)

The Heat prefers to move players already under contract for Pietrus (like Michael Doleac), but the Warriors haven't taken the bait.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

I'd rather have Pietrus...
