Recycled Ray Allen and Amare rumors R...

In one of my many “the Warriors should get something for Monta Ellis while they can” posts I’ve written over the last six months, I threw out the idea that the Warriors should call Danny Ainge and see if they could unload Monta’s and Maggette’s contracts for Ray Allen’s...

Warriors still should trade M&M (Mo...

Unlike some Sports Guys out there, I know that in my current state of life and/or work experience that I’m not ready for an NBA team to hire me. Being a GM isn’t just about assessing and sourcing basketball talent and being a maestro at the ESPN Trade Machine, it’s also about being...

Stephen Jackson and Don Nelson, behind c...

It took a long time to transcribe the insanity that occurred while Stephen Jackson, Don Nelson and Larry Riley met today in Riley’s office, but I finally finished. We start this morning with Jackson walking into the office, where Nelly and Riley have been smoking cigars and watching Regis and Kelly...

It’s a world of turmoil around here these days, in the form of missing, mediocre and inevitable transactions. Let’s take a look, shall we? First a warning: these links aren’t for the faint of heart…or are things really not that bad? See for yourself:

Groundhog Day: Stephen Jackson wants off...

Now Stephen Jackson wants out. That’s right, Jackson doesn’t want to be a Warrior anymore, because they (gasp) aren’t championship contenders. Even though the Warriors gave Jackson an obscenely massive and completely unnecessary extension and allow him to shoot threes whenever and wherever...

Will the Warriors add a veteran free age...

If you want to check out an interesting video, check out this interview of Warriors GM Larry Riley from HoopsHype. The phrases “interesting video” and “Warriors GM” hardly ever go hand-in-hand, but Riley had some noteworthy things to say about what the Warriors need to add before...

OK, I’m not really sure if Monta Ellis’ infamous “I’m a Warriors. I’ll always be a Warriors.” quote will also ring true for Amare Stoudemire. But let’s say I’d be shocked, floored, flummoxed even, if it didn’t happen. One thing I know about NBA GM’s...

Everyone really trusts Larry Riley…...

I don’t know why I like mock drafts so much. Their usefulness and/or accuracy usually get squashed by the time the draft starts, if not before. Especially in the NBA, where the general managers aren’t afraid to make trades based on a whim (or a friendly relationship with another GM they used...

NBA Tuesday: Should the Warriors go afte...

I’m not going to go all draft crazy tonight. I just can’t. There’s only thing we know about the who the Warriors are going to select is that it won’t be Jordan Hill. The Warriors already had two young 6′10″ forwards that Don Nelson didn’t really like using last...

NBA Tuesday: Warriors drafting for their...

So it has come to this. The Warriors are getting ready for a two-month stretch that has everything to do with the future of their franchise — and by all accounts the June 25 NBA Draft looks to be a weak one. Weak drafts aren’t much fun, unless you get lucky. In the 2006 Draft (where Andrea...
