Lock please, thanks. Warriors 2011/2012 Thread Up.

Just read the interview and he said all the right things, even promising that we are going to make the playoffs. So lets see if he can walk the walk. 
 
No new coach is going to say "no, this roster has no chance at making the playoffs".
Look at whomever Detroit and Toronto eventually hire, it'll be the same thing. Canned rhetoric.

Having said that, as I just e-mailed a buddy the article, I do believe he seemingly knows that he's going to absolutely leverage his staff and make sure a good staff is in place. That IS a sign of a leader (which he referenced plenty of times). If we keep our back court relatively the same I hope he does demand they rebound. Rebounding is not that hard. Find someone and box out. If you box out and don't get the rebound at least the effort was there unlike many seasons past.

This to me is the opposite of Singletary who was a 1-track mind. Jackson knows offense/defense but also knows his strengths and weaknesses need to be adapted to by his staff....unlike Singletary.

He'd be a nice piece for the Warriors. They don't need an offensive Center, just someone that can defend and catch an occasional lob from Curry.

They are ******ed though. I wouldn't take Kaman and I'm sure they are trying to move him, so it really comes down to them re-signing Jordan this season, trading him, or losing him for nothing in free agency.

There is a Kaman for Iggy rumor going on. If Im the 76ers, I take that deal before Monta. Jrue Holiday + Monta is not a good look.

this makes a lot of sense for both sides. LAC needs a 3 and PHI needs a 5.

also saw this, could be just to gain leverage on the warriors to maybe add some more pieces?

But Kaman would be good for Philly

Read the article by Rusty Simmons that the Warriors have had discussions with Chicago, Orlando, Memphis, and the Lakers...I really wonder which names had been thrown around for Ellis. Hmmm.

Lamar Odom might be the guy the Warriors are after. Unfortunately, Ellis would be a poor fit for the purple and gold.

Jun 8, 2011 - It seems increasingly likely that the first big name to change teams in the NBA's offseason trade carnival will be Monta Ellis. TheWarriors have a new coach, newish owners and a new front-office sage in Jerry West. They're looking to drag the Dubs out of their four-years-and-counting lottery slump, and Ellis is the guy they're shopping around in hopes of an upgrade. A possible deal for the 76ers' Andre Iguodala has been discussed most prominently, but today the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Warriors have also had Ellis-related trade talks with the Los Angeles Lakers.

No solid details have emerged about what the Lakers would be giving up for Monta. Perhaps the discussions haven't advanced to that level. According to Eric Pincus of HoopWorld, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol are off limits. From this, Eric infers that an Ellis trade would have to involve Lamar Odom. That sounds right. But though I'm open to the idea of a major roster shake-up, Ellis strikes me as a poor fit.

To begin with, he plays the same position as Kobe Bryant. More to the point, he occupies the same role as Kobe Bryant, as a high-volume shooter who wants the ball in his hands much of the time. Among shooting guards, Kobe and Monta had two of the four highest usage rates in the league last season. We've seen experiments like this before. Some of them (LeBron James andDwyane Wade) have worked out pretty well. Others (Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony) have not. In either case, it means big men see their roles in the offense wither away. You can live with that when your starting center is Joel Anthony. But when you're taking shots away from Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol, while shipping out the Sixth Man of the Year for the privilege, the net gains from the transaction become harder to discern.

Defensively, Monta gets mixed reviews. He regularly ranks among the league leaders in steals, but his positional D can be sloppy. No doubt the Lakers could use his speed and quickness, and perhaps Mike Brown could remake him into a steadier defensive presence. Obviously it wouldn't take much to improve on Derek Fisher and Steve Blake. Ellis, though, doesn't represent a plug-in solution to the Lakers' inability to defend opposing point guards. He also isn't an amazing three-point shooter. He made an Artestian 36 percent of his long-balls last season, and even that mark was a good three points higher than his career average.

Ellis has three years left on his current deal at $11 million per. Odom is due to make $8.9 million this season, so for salaries to line up the Lakers would have to throw in a bauble or two. Blake,Matt Barnes, Devin Ebanks and Derrick Caracter are all possibilities.
