I used to think G.S. was a "Big Man" away from a title run. Now i feel like they need a top PG and a Big Man still. Hopefully they spend the money wisely on one or the other instead of blowing it on someone crazy like Maggette.

they are still a big man away, hopefully they can use this money to get one. they wont overpay for maggette, there's only a small market for him anyways. if they dont get brand or josh smith, i hope they sign a couple 1 year contracts and go for it next year

Originally posted by blitzI would love it if possible to get Shawn Marion, his style fits the Warriors much like the Phoenix.
Josh Smith or Luol Deng would be great as well....

Originally posted by BigWeinerI like Marion a lot too. If there's any chance we can get Josh Smith, I say we gotta take it, that guy would be a beast in our offense
It would be awesome to get Josh!! Let's pray to get him.

Originally posted by wayne1218Do you guys really think Davis went to L.A. without talking to Brand?
Even if he did talk to Brand, Brand didn't sign him to the contract. They may have made a 'pact' but he still needed LAC to pay up. I think there is more to this than meets the eye.Three Jack's Record http://www.bettorschat.com/forums/sh...10#post1323910

Originally posted by Three JackI don't know if he talked to Brand, but there is no doubt in my mind that his agent spoke with LAC management. You don't opt out of a contract making, what, $17 mil unless you are 100% certain you can get it elsewhere. He wanted LA for his 'other' career and how ironic LAC stepped up less than 24 hrs after he opts out.

It will all become MUCH clearer to you when Brand finally signs on the dotted line with the Clippers!

I think letting Davis go is gonna give the Warriors a great chance to get the young guys on the court and playing with less "make the playoffs" pressure. It's also gonna give us the money to sign them to long deals and allow us to fully explore every possibility on the free-agent market...I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Warriors run isn't gonna be until 2011 and on...
Basically, letting Baron go makes it quite clear that we are transitioning into our "youth movement" and within a couple years the addition of the right star/s may be all we need to make our run. The West is too ***** right now, if we build for 2 to 3 years from now a deep playoff run will be much more realistic.Great Day To Win

I think Josh Smith is a GREAT fit with this team but he's restricted isn't he ? and ATL will do everything they can to keep him.
I think the warriors going after Brand is somewhat of a mistake, I don't think he's the right fit at that price for GS. But I think Brand will sign with LA....with MAggette headed to Philly.

Josh Smith is unrestricted, he visited Philly today....I actually think Magette will go to Boston if Posey doesn't stay.Great Day To Win

Brand and Baron obviously talked about this and Brand will take a pay cut, and the Clippers knew that. The Warriors did not get caught with their pants down, they hoped that Baron would play this season and then come off the books next year, who wouldn't want that, he's only got a few years left. The Clippers won't win shit, they brought in some excitement for a few years, but they won't make through the season without injuries. The Warriors will be fine, they still need some size, but Monta can run the point. I would love a Josh Smith signing, but I highly doubt it.

Whether or not the Warriors wanted to extend Baron's contract or not, they were no doubt caught with their pants down. If it wasn't the case, why did you hear about so many trade rumors with Davis? The Warriors were seeing what they could land in return which ended up being nothing. I'm also 100% sure that they would have tried to do something differently on or before the draft. They were counting on him for this season and if not him, someone pretty good in a trade possibly. I don't believe for a second that they saw this coming and i think they were 99.9% sure Davis was going to live out his last year. You guys are crazy to think otherwise. They have done NOTHING and if they knew Davis was leaving, i guarantee that would not have been the case. Would they have drafted a PF at #14 if they knew Davis was gone? Probably not when the could have traded up a few spots and grabbed Augustin or Bayless. It makes no sense to say anything but they were caught with their pants down. They cannot be happy with how everything went down and all their moves were made based on Davis being there. You can tell me all day how good Randolph will be but 2 PF's in the draft? Mullin never saw this coming guys!!!
