  Why does this allways happen to a team that Jamaal Crawford and his agent step foot at?!

• Chendaddy Posted: Jun.16 at 3:46 pm
  Or Ellis misunderstood. Possibly because Don Nelson lies.

  Awesome news as always from the Warriors. I love rooting for this team. (Though it should be noted that Ellis doesn’t have much of a right to be pissy after squandering last season crashing an effing moped. Man up, Monta).

  Man, I love Monta, but the guy needs to figure out what he wants. He’s not a PG, he doesn’t even try to be one. And after last season’s fiasco he needs to play the role of good soldier and do his best to help this team get back to the playoffs with his game, not his mouth.
  Now, I’d tend to agree with him that this team doesn’t really need ANOTHER scoring guard.
  But, I think a big guard like Tyreke or even TWill could fit nicely, and give them a decent mix of backcourt size and ability to distribute the ball. Stephen Jackson has become a decent playmaker in his own right so I could see this team functioning without a “pure” PG.
  Monta and Tyreke/TWill in the backcourt, with Stephen Jackson, Anthony Randolph and Andris Biedrins up front looks like a pretty sick starting lineup to me. Then they’d have Maggette, Crawford, and Turiaf off the bench. Not to mention Anthony Morrow and Azubuike. I actually still really like their talent, but they need to move some of those scorers for a big who wants to hit the glass and defend.

  If Ellis thinks he’s a complete guard, whatever position, he shouldn’t be scared of a new blood taking up the other spot. But of course Monta isn’t a complete 1, pass first guard. Lazy one armed passes get highlighted by the biggest critics while Jax with too much ball handling = turnovers. Biedrins is the pivot with Turiaf and Randolph maturing very quickly. Way too many guards big enough to play 3 espec. in the Nellie Offense with big contracts which are neigh untradable by most thoughts on it. So the draft with the multitude of guards with a future are where they should go, yes as it will be the “best avail. player” and Nellie usually doesn’t play rookies, despite skill. Or he will later into the season, if its one of his finally last seasons commanding the team.

  They also spent on players whom didn’t work out (instead of Davis who was key to their playoff contention). Cohan is stingy about that salary cap and can rightfully say they opened up their wallets for re-upping Jack, bringing in Maggette, trading for Crawford (but he may soon be gone due to his former deal and upcoming free agency?). Not contenders with this group, but their opinion on “they spent already,” is probably going to be the focus of those pep talks.

  To me, there’s no bigger, more clueless mess than the Warriors franchise. What happened 2 years ago when Baron Davis and the crew gave us some of the most exciting playoff basketball of the decennium, seems lik ages ago.

• kwame Posted: Jun.16 at 6:21 pm
  I agree with above…MONTA isn’t a true pg…

• davidR Posted: Jun.16 at 6:37 pm
  their guards: monta, cj, sjax, buike, crawford, belinelli, morrow. not to mention they also have maggette. somebody please fix this team

• seven deuce Posted: Jun.16 at 7:14 pm
  If Monta doesn’t want the team to draft another guard maybe he should try to play in a way that alleviates the need for one. That team has a lot of problems, he’s but one of them. Trade 75% of that roster and get some players who have real positions in the L.

• Mavus Posted: Jun.16 at 7:47 pm
  You know they still are getting a point, right

• The Cool Posted: Jun.16 at 8:44 pm
  He would be the best 30-35 min a night Jason Terry-esque 6th man on any team in the league…except the Mavs Though on the right team he could be a very very good starter at either guard. Free Monta!

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jun.16 at 11:02 pm
  MONTA TO NEW YORK.

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jun.16 at 11:02 pm
  CRAWFORD BACK TO NEW YORK.

• chintao Posted: Jun.16 at 11:20 pm
  Blinguo makes good points.

• STANI Posted: Jun.17 at 6:25 am
  this boy is getting out of hand !!!! he needs to shut his mouth and man up!!! he got something like 10mill dollars for 25 games this season and now he is expressing general dis-satisfaction with the direction of the franchise!!! maybe he should blame himself for the direction…….. the fact is the warriors need a PG, monta aint a pg nor will he ever be one, he needs to stick to what got him his 60+million/6 year deal and stop being a jerk Nellie still needs take somebody like Flynn to run the show in Oakland

• Moose Posted: Jun.17 at 7:28 am
  Toronto could use a guy like him. Just off the top of my head.

• $tev3 Posted: Jun.17 at 9:47 am
  Trade Magette and fire donnie then ull be fine with monte stack jack & birends

• niQ Posted: Jun.17 at 11:53 am
  Although they say they won’t draft a Guard, we ALL know Nelson will not care and still draft a Guard. Nelson has some Guardfetish.

• niQ Posted: Jun.17 at 11:54 am
  GS will most likely draft a point guard though..

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jun.17 at 4:29 pm
  They’re going to draft a guard, then trade Biedrins for another guard… Then bench Jamal Crawford to play a different guard like Anthony Morrow..

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jun.17 at 4:30 pm
  @ Moose: YES! Monta to the Knicks or the Raptors. I’m liking the sound of this, though I don’t know if it will happen.

• niQ Posted: Jun.17 at 5:44 pm
  at this rate, I would accept any shooting guard that is known as a scorer. (well except t-mac)

• niQ Posted: Jun.17 at 5:45 pm
  and by I i meant raptors.
