Just curious, do yall have any picks owed/owned?

Just looked it up, No one owes yall any, but you guys have 2011 first to NJ, and 2011 second to NJ as well. Top 6-7 protected through 2014 though, and if itgets that late, just two seconds go to them. Not too bad.

Here are some really curious ones to keep an eye on.

Utah has New Yorks UNPROTECTED 2010 pick.

. If the Knicks land the #1 pick, OH LORD.

Unprotected first in 2010 from PHO to OKC, but probably won't be better than 14-18.

There's the aforementioned NJN pick which won't result in anything better than an 8th overall from GSW.

They also have Dallas' unprotected this year.

Minny has a few interesting ones, one from CHA, which is top 12 protected in 2010, top 10 in 2011, top 8 in 2012, top 3 in 2013, and unprotected in 2014...They also have one from Utah, which is too confusing to read and understand.

MIA has TOR's 2010 pick, but since they'll probably make it to the Playoffs this year, won't be TOO high.

Memphis has two first rounders from DEN/LAL, both will be late 20's.

LAC has Minny's first rounder, which is top 10 protected in 2010, top 10 in 2011, and unprotected in 2012.

But the Utah one is the one to keep an eye on.

The Jazz obtained the pick a month later from the Suns in a trade-deadline deal that brought Tom Gugliotta to Utah in exchange for Ben Handlogten and Keon Clark. They held onto the pick in the years since and now are poised to hit the jackpot.

[kl9]

Not the extremely rare ones...(SVSM AZGs) I'd kill for those (No, not really).

 

[japanair21]

[japanair21]

I always go Unleaded.

I refill for about 15-20 dollars a week, driving everyday to/from work, and then going to and from work on Fri/Sat.

 

[paul is on tilt]

No one wants to care what your gas cost, go back to wherever you came from, and never ever ever come back.

The team has NO identity whatsoever. It's literally like a group of guys who don't know each other at a GYM playing pickup...

The team was destined to be "mediocre to good" at best.

However, at this rate, I'd like to see them all quit on Nellie and he doesn't even get the win record. Though it's unrealistic to think thisstubborn old man would leave prior to reaching the win total he needs. One can certainly wish.

I swear, if Jackson and Magette could be involved in a bus crash driven by Rowell and Cohan I'd be much happier.

 

[lazyj10]

Paul next year in a deep NT league, no TO's, that's quite possibly the worst most unpredictable stat there is.

Rosters are pretty much maxed out.

[h2]Jackson's agent goes after Nelson[/h2]

In an effort to get Golden State's disgruntled swingman Stephen Jackson traded as soon as possible, Jackson's agent, Mark Stevens, has gone on the offensive, attacking the credibility and character of Warriors coach Don Nelson.

In a telephone interview just moments after the Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings Sunday night, Stevens lambasted Nelson, criticizing everything from his trustworthiness to his coaching ability. Leaving few stones unturned, Stevens gave his take on some controversies in Nelson's 31-year NBA coaching career.

Jackson

"No one trusts Don Nelson," Stevens said. "When Nelson was in Milwaukee, Wayne Embry trusted him and brought him in, and he betrayed Embry. In Dallas, Mark Cuban took damn good care of him and his son [Donnie Nelson Jr.], and he betrayed Cuban. In Golden State, Chris Mullin hired him and trusted him and Nelson backstabbed him by reaching out to president Robert Rowell and blaming Mullin for everything that was going wrong with the Warriors."

Stevens was referring to claims by Embry, the first African-American general manager in professional sports, that Nelson made a racist remark after Embry gave him his first coaching position with the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1970s. Nelson vehemently denied making the remark.

Nelson sued Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks owner, after Nelson was hired to coach the Warriors in 2006. Nelson, who resigned as the Mavericks coach in 2004, sought deferred money he claimed to be owed from Dallas' previous owner, Ross Perot Jr. The feud turned ugly and an arbitrator ruled Cuban had to pay Nelson $6.3 million.

Mullin, who played for Nelson during the coach's first stint in Golden State in the 1990s, hired Nelson to return to the Warriors after Mullin had become the club's general manger. But the relationship between Mullin and Nelson soon soured and Mullin's contract was not renewed after last season.

Stevens did not hide his motives for disparaging Nelson, who needs just 23 wins to move past Lenny Wilkens as the NBA's all-time winningest coach. He wants Jackson, who demanded a trade over the summer, out of Golden State as soon as possible. While the Warriors have said they will seek a trade, Stevens, and presumably Jackson, has grown tired of waiting.

When he made his initial request in August, Jackson said he wanted to be traded to Cleveland, New York or any of the three teams in Texas (Dallas, San Antonio and Houston). Jackson was fined $25,000 by the league for publicly requesting a trade.

Now Stevens says anywhere will do.

"I just want him out of there now," Stevens said. "It doesn't matter where. At this stage, something has to be done. It can't get any worse."

Cleveland, Miami, Denver and Charlotte have been mentioned as possible destinations for Jackson.

As recently as October, Jackson was a Warriors captain. But during a preseason game against the Lakers, Jackson picked up five fouls and a technical in fewer than 10 minutes and was pulled from the game. He had a testy exchange with Nelson on the floor and was sent to the locker room. He was then stripped of his captaincy.

Stevens said his anger over his client's situation grew while he was watching the Warriors lose 120-107 to the Kings. It was Golden State's fourth loss in five games this season. Jackson led all Warriors scorers with 21 points.

"I'm disgusted with the quality of Nelson's coaching and with the lack of trust his players have in him," he said. "Nelson is the winningest coach in NBA history to never have coached in the NBA Finals, let alone won a championship. Yet he keeps getting jobs despite being 69 years old."

Jackson came to the Warriors in a 2007 trade with the Indiana Pacers. No stranger to controversy himself, he was suspended 30 games for his role in the 2004 Pacers-Pistons brawl at The Palace at of Auburn Hills. But he's put up his best numbers for the Warriors, last year averaging 20.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists.

Stevens blamed Nelson for the breakup of the promising Warriors team that upset top-seeded Dallas in the first round of the 2007 playoffs. The breakup of that squad is one of the main reasons Jackson wants to go elsewhere, according to his agent.

"Chris Mullin wanted to re-sign Baron Davis, but Nelson nipped that in the bud," Stevens said. "Then he helped put together the trade that got rid of Jason Richardson. Then the Warriors lost Matt Barnes. Nelson loses the trust of all his players."

Warriors general manager Larry Riley could not be reached for comment.

finally.

[h3]Still no takers for Sam?[/h3]

[h5]Samuel Dalembert | 76ers[/h5]
Top Email


There was a note last week that the 76ers called Golden State to see whether there was any interest in center Samuel Dalembert. They did, but it was months ago, reports the Philadelphia Daily News.

A source tells the newspaper there was a call made during the summer and the Warriors had no interest. The source also said president/general manager Ed Stefanski has gone 0-for-29 trying to ship Dalembert out of Philadelphia due to his high salary and a 15 percent trade kicker in his contract.

Dalembert makes $12.1 million this season and $13 million for 2010-11.

Stupid Riley. Dalembert has 1 year after this under contract. Is he worse than Biedrins? No. Is he a better shooter? Yes. Is he a betterpost defender? He's longer and a better shot blocker. Why?

 

[lazyj10]

The whole franchise needs to be built blown up.

I know everyone's boy is AR, but he looked absolutely terrible.

How the hell do you get beat to the basket on an allyoop with .4?!

Clean house. Save AR, Morrow (sorry DP, but at least he's cheap) and Curry. Go from there.

Poor guy.

I know a lot of you don't like him, but I really feel bad for the situation the Warriors put CJ Watson in. A legit team/franchise really wanted him. Theywere willing to overpay for him. Why was he so important for the Warriors?

And I don't hate Morrow, he's a great shooter, other then that, he sucks. But you are right, a minimum salary isn't bad at all.

He's the quiet storm!
I don't recall, did he re-sign here? If so, then how can you feel sorry for the guy? He didn't have to ink his name to the deal to be here. If not,then yeah, he's another casualty.
