you know POB is not feeling good about the organization. Not a good idea to do him like that if Mullin REALLY wants to extend him.


yeah, but why would we wanna extend someone we hardly ever play?

The only thing I can assume is, life after Nellie.

exactly, that's what I'm saying. Warriors made this move indicates that they don't give a damn about him anymore. He's a goner.

 

[armanzaballa]

POB is a hit or miss IMO. either he steps up to his full potential later in his career or has one like Michael Olowikandi.

 

[nothingtol0se]

sucks for POB, hope he does good where ever he signs with though.




...no more project bigs please. Warriors can't do anything with em.

Here are the nicknames for Monta that have been floating around. What's your favorite? M8E sounds prettydope.

Mississippi Missile, Mississippi Bullet, The Bullet Train, Mississlippery, Monta Get Out The Way, Montezuma's Revenge, Monta's Inferno,Montazing, Montaneous Combustion, M8E (pronounced M eighty, a quarter stick of dynamite, small but explosive), The Quickness, Kid Quickness, Quick, The FlyingCircus, Lanier Lightning (he's from Lanier High School), The One-Man Fast Break, Cash The Finisher, Blew By You, Money Monta, Mid-Range Monta, TheFuture

Looks like we picked up Nelsons option for next year. I like the move, I mean any coach that can get us to 50 wins in the West is definitely worth keepingaround.

[onetrust]

at Monta. Me and my co worker were hoping for M 8E. Not feeling "Mississippi Bullet."

I'ma just call him "Money" Ellis.

 

[715 asterisk]

"Mississippi Bullet" has too many syllables to be an effective nickname.

[h1]Warriors exercise option to keep coach Don Nelson for next season[/h1]
2 hours, 50 minutes ago

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)-The Golden State Warriors exercised the option Tuesday to keep coach Don Nelson under contract for the 2008-09 season.

The two sides reworked Nelson's deal last September, giving the coach a raise in exchange for turning the third year of his contract into a team option.

The Warriors (39-23) put together one of their best season on years, and the team decided to guarantee Nelson a reported $5.1 million for next season. Golden State began the day in eighth place in the difficult Western Conference, 2 1/2 games ahead of Denver for the final playoff spot.

"We're extremely pleased with the job that Don has done this season," team president Robert Rowell said. "He's done a terrific job of building on last year's success and certainly has our team in position to challenge for another exciting postseason journey."

The 67-year-old Nelson is the second-winningest coach in NBA history with 1,271 wins, trailing only Lenny Wilkens (1,332) on the all-time list.

During his second stint with Golden State, he has guided the Warriors to a combined 81-63 regular season record. He helped the team end a 12-season playoff drought last year when the Warriors became the first No. 8 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in a best-of-seven series.

After the upset against Dallas, Golden State lost a five-game series in the second round to Utah.

so i guess nelson is coming back. this certainly cements POB leaving.

 

[enlightened thought]

I mean any coach that can get us to 50 wins in the West is definitely worth keeping around.
whoa whoa whoa...we only have 39 so far...

 

[lazyj10]

Warriors game versus Hornets was picked up by ABC for Sunday, April 6th.

Let us all rejoice for an actual nationally televised network game.

Fitting it'll be Davis' against CP3 and Coach Scott, good little story line.

Any bets they bumped a poop Miami game?
