The magic are doing it the anti Warriors way

And you guys used Monta to bring in even more salary in Bogut and S-Jax (then Jefferson), while Orlando traded a better player for cheaper guys like Afflalo, Harrington (expiring k this offseason), Vucevic, Harkless, & picks.

As fun as this year has been for Warrior fans, their decision making has capped the team's potential out as a 5th or 6th seed, IMO.

Ya.. but we could've traded Monta for the Nets pick last year but chose not too

Probably could've traded Monta a while ago and been a bottom 3 team instead of being stuck with the 7 to 10th pick every year.

Oh well, were the 6th seed right now and after next year Jefferson, Beidrins, and Bogut's contracts all expire. So we'll have a s**tload of cap room. I doubt we get anyone huge but we have a chance to and by then hopefully both Barnes and Klay are playing near all star level :)

me some Nkola Vucevic

Harkless is looking pretty solid, but don't forget about Andrew Nicholson. He may be the player I'm the most excited about.

Will be a Laker in 2015

Was that even a valid rumor? I would have jumped on that asap. Lillard or Drummond and Barnes. Oh well

I agree. Unless they actually sign a superstar when Bogut's, Beidrins', and Jefferson's contracts expire then they probably won't do better than the 5th seed. And I doubt they sign a big name player when it happens. They might trade for one but no superstar wants to come play for the Warriors.

New ownership was too impatient imo

The Oklahoma City Thunder are preparing to re-sign veteran guard Derek Fisher, according to sources familiar with the Thunder's thinking.


Sources told ESPN.com that the Thunder, after trading Eric Maynor away last week before the NBA's annual trade deadline, have made plans to sign Fisher, who joined the Thunder for the stretch run in March 2012 after the Los Angeles Lakers dealt Fisher to Houston.
