2009 Golden State Warriors Off-Season Thread

Horrible ownership+ inept management+burned out head coach= LOSER FRANCHISE

It scares me that this team can continue to go down, and I will still go to the games

I know he didn't just mention Rob Kurz

I like the Crawford trade but I still don't wanna trade Biedrins.

But as the others said, Portland wouldn't dare do this. With Oden's injury history, Pryz is sorta valuable.

-We'd better not waste a few million on CJ Watson like the article suggested in the "status quo" section.


Like I said before, the success and failure of this off-season depends entirely on whether or not Corey Maggette is still on this roster in October.

Is Maggette's status as Warrior any different than Jackson's at this point? IMO, getting rid of either is the top priority, and getting rid of both without additional salary commitment would be an extremely successful offseason.

In terms of priorities, getting rid of Corey Maggette comes first.

The second priority is getting rid of Jamal Crawford.

The third priority is getting rid of Stephen Jackson.


Stephen Jackson play defense and passes the ball to his teammates.

Jamal Crawford passes the ball to his teammates.

Corey Maggette neither passes, nor plays defense.

Marcus Thompson is a huge idiot. But if we pull off those two trades I would be f**king ecstatic.

Crawford to Portland for C Joel Pryzbillla and PG Steve Blake.

-I'd try to get Portland to throw in Sergio Rodriguez, but if they don't want to, I'd still take the trade.

Andris Biedrins and Brandan Wright to Toronto for Chris Bosh.

-I suggested this a few pages ago. And I'd throw in our first round pick this year to make this happen. Toronto wouldn't do it without the first round pick. And we'd better extend Bosh.

Those are some sexy trades.

Yup. AND I'll be back next season too.

Bosh is just going to walk in 2010 and the warriors will be left with nothing.

Which is why I said

I saw what you wrote. I still don't see Bosh signing an extension here when all three teams like Chicago, Miami or New York will have max cap space in 2010 to sign him.

If that Biedrins/Wright for Bosh trade is tough for Toronto to make, that Portland one is even tougher.



I wonder what trade value Oden has (if any) at this point.

I think if Portland packages one of their most valuable reserves in Pryz and their starter in Blake, I think they go for an established PG. Maybe it's just me, but I think Andre Miller would look good in a Blazer uniform.

Travis Outlaw coming into a contract year next year also.

With all the hoping and wishing we can do this offseason, I'm resigned to thinking we're going to open the season next year with the same exact roster + our rook +/- a Watson/Kurz.

Greg Oden still has more trade value around the league than any player on the Warriors except maybe Anthony Randolph.

Greg Oden may still have trade value, but the dude sucks. Should have gotten Kevin Durant!
