J-Rich didn't fit that well with the Warriors style of play and your right about the 6 game losing streak but I still think that it was a good move and besides Monta is ballin and he would not get nearly as many minutes if J-Rich was still around. Also Azubuike wouldn't get as much playing time either.
J-Rich didn't fit into the Warriors style of play?
Give me a break.
He didn't. J-Rich needed to work on his ball handling. He can't dribble and create his own shot off the dribble consistently. He'll dribble upcourt and "try" to penetrate but will take the ball back out.

I'm probably the only person that will say it's a bad move.
Yes, it's obviuosly bad short-term because your not getting anything productive from Wright for a while.
Yeah, you'll save money to sign other FA's they want to build up, but this team doesn't have what it takes to get on the next level, the elite level, and getting rid of J-Rich wasn't the answer, needed to get rid of a lot more than that, I'm still upset Jason Richardson isn't a Warrior.
Don't get me wrong... I love my Warriors, but I don't think the Warriors are going to be on the same level with San Antonio and Phoenix with J-Rich.What seriously makes you think that we'll be an elite team with J-Rich? What does he bring to the table that we don't already get with the players wealready have (don't say heart/intensity because we have Jackson and Baron who bring that)? We're not going to be an elite team either way but this way,we can create cap space to sign Monta and Andris to long term deals to build while we're still competitive. Competitive teams attract FA's... FA'swould think that they are the "missing piece" to the puzzle.
You mean Hudson?Originally Posted by papageorgeo510
I think it's very good pick for the warriors, we are looking at it as a long term goal to keep this guy and progress in the future. He's already getting better and better everytime he steps on the court, I mean did you see him caught that alley from gordon?...The future I tell yah the future...
There's a trick to it though... you don't wanna get extra lines... like this...Originally Posted by GSDOUBLEU

No, I don't think keeping J-Rich would have made them elite.
But trading away J-Rich wasn't the answer either.
The hell? What do you want them to do then? If they keep him, they'll still need more money to sign both Andris and Monta or else they'll walk.

If your going to trade away a key player, then get the job done and get the team the best you can make it.
Marco, Wright, Hudson, and Croshere are those keys? No.
I think you want back Jason Richardson for an all-star, am I correct? You want a sudden impact player for right now, right? That's how you're making itout to be. Again, this move was made for the long term in mind. Before Nellie came, the Warriors had no sense of direction. We had no plan for the future. Nowthat he's here, we have direction. We have a plan for the future. Now that we have a plan for the future, you don't like it.

On top of that, the Warriors have to rebuild their heart.
J-Rich WAS the heart and soul of this team. Yes they're doing well, ans SJAX is stepping up to try and be the leader, but it takes time, it doesn't happen overnight.
S-Jax is ALREADY the leader. How do you not see that? Jackson is more vocal than Baron! We started 1-6 without S-Jax and tell me what our record is with S-Jax?If that doesn't scream leader, I don't know what does.
You don't become s leader overnight? Newsflash! S-Jax wasn't just traded to the Warriors... he was with the Warriors last season too.

J-Rich developed that heart for being with the Warriors so long. Who has the longest tenure with the Warriors? And how long is it?
Pietrus is the longest tenure Warrior now... does that make him the heart and soul of the team? If Foyle was still with us, is he the heart and soul for theWarriors? Kevin Garnett was just acquired by Boston, doesn't he bring heart and soul to the Celtics? Your reasoning for Richardson being the heart and soulof this team is flawed. I'm not denying the fact that Richardson brought that to the table, but your logic is flawed.

have you seen him this year? hes still playing like a @@*!*. and the second injury he had was to his hand.

He's a helluva clutch player and scorer, but that role can be filled by the players we have...we're rollin right now without him. And by trading him, we also get a prospect with high potential in BWright....if BWright turns out to be a star this trade would be very lopsided. Even if he doesn't, it allows us to sign the players we have now to long-term deals. So there's nothing negative about this trade from the Warriors' standpoint other than that they lose a fan favorite and the person who defined the Warriors for so many years.
how old are you? 5?
*****if u really have to know i'm a soph in college rightnow, so yeah i'm a 5 year old genius dude, get off me!
of course i meant, i grew up watching him as a warrior during my middle school/high school years. when you're 5 you don't even understand basketball.i know you're joking but that don't even make sense.
