Title: Warriors aquire Marcus Williams from the Nets
Post by: S P I C E on July 22, 2008, 12:17:29 PM: For a future 1st round pick, excellent trade for the Warriors, they are looking pretty good right now, they are going to be fine without Baron.

You don't know anybody in the bay then.

And no, this year's team won't be better than last year's.

He's pretty good when he actually gets 20+ minutes. I forget what the numbers were but IIRC it was around 15 and 9. He's not a star but he is gonna be solid.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4150/gamelog;_ylt=AkLaJo2naEqVHCOWxal8MhKkvLYF?year=2007

Even when he's getting minutes, he's still been very inconsistent. I mean, no doubt he has the skill, but can he channel that to become a starting quality PG? Lets see...

Me too man. I really don't want Monta and Stephen Jackson handling the ball no more than 50% of the time.

Post by: Tay on July 23, 2008, 07:13:03 PM: They are talking about him being a backup PG, Ellis, Jackson, and Maggette should all be starting. The pick is lottery-protected and not until 2011, so it will never end up being a top-10 pick. He is still young enough to develop, so I don't mind them taking the small risk. I still think they are going to make at least one more move this offseason, Mullin has been trying to keep them active.
