GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 2012 SEASON!!!! TSSS HAAA
- Thread starter LEE-ZILLA 69
- Start date
That was a tough loss last night...What is that now like 27 straight losses in San Antonio? Monta was the only one not scared when the game was in crunchtime....
Curry has major issues with his ankle man..That ankle just does not have the support it should...How do you turn the ankle pushing off to run on a fast break...It didnt have anything to do with landing on someones foot or anything...His ankle just turned when he pushed off of it......He was on fire last night to, Curry has a georgous jump shot that hits nothing but net 90% of the time...He is MONEY....
Dorrell Wright is a girl he seems scared of something... and David Lee complains to the refs alot...Lee is a monster 2, he just needs to shut up and ball like he can...Klay Thompson did better last night if that helps anything....And i would like to see Mcguire get more run...
On a side note i know it dosent matter now...But we should have swooped Carl Landry in the off season..I saw him play live agianst the kings the other night and that dude is a physical specimen...He is in great shape and pounds the glass relentlessly......
I think NO signed him for cheap 2...And instead of Kwame Brown we should have taken a look at Chris Kardashian...That dude is beastin on the boards and got the same money as Kwame Brown...C'mon Logo..I have dumb faith your gonna bring us back...

Warriors pursue Howard, but will Magic listen?
As the Orlando Magic consider deals for Dwight Howard, the Golden State Warriors have emerged as aggressive suitors for the NBA’s best center, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Golden State management is willing to take Howard as a one-season “rental,” with the hope of selling him on signing a long-term deal before he enters free agency this summer. Like most teams, Golden State has inquired with Orlando Magic general manager Otis Smith, but the Magic have yet to commit to aggressively pursuing a trade of Howard.
For the Magic to become intrigued with package, two things would likely have to appeal to them: rebuilding around young point guard Stephen Curry; and the Warriors’ salary-cap space to absorb the three years and $34 million left on Hedo Turkoglu’s contract. The possibility of the pursuit could be complicated by questions about the sturdiness of Curry’s surgically repaired right ankle. The Warriors are willing to part with either of their two guards – Curry or Monta Ellis – but teams clearly will watch how Curry recovers from his recurring ankle sprains.

Dwight Howard has told the Magic he'll sign a contract extension with three teams: the Nets, Mavericks and Lakers.

The Utah Jazz own the Warriors’ 2012 first-round pick, which is protected through No. 7, but Golden State would give its next available first-rounder to the Magic. The availability of the rest of the Warriors roster, plus future picks, would be wide open for negotiation, sources said.
Most teams aren’t willing to gut rosters to get Howard only to lose him to free agency in the summer. Yet, the Warriors made a run for Chris Paul as a rental, and are determined to offer more for Howard, a franchise center. Golden State is probably five years away from a new downtown San Francisco arena that will be more appealing to star players, but owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber are determined to sell a top-five media market and rabid fan base to players. They would have to take a huge risk to make a deal for Howard, but sources said they’re determined to try whatever it takes to satisfy the Magic’s needs for a trade – including the construction of more complicated three- and four-team trade scenarios.

The Warriors think they can sell Howard on the endorsement possibilities of a global NBA star in Silicon Valley. From tech companies to social media, Golden State thinks Howard would find an untapped market, as well as a nod from Adidas, who is preparing a new deal for him. And the bottom line is this: Should Golden State make a deal for Howard, he would have to take $30 million less over the length of a contract extension to leave this summer.
Far from frontrunners, Golden State’s best chance of acquiring Howard could come with a failure of the Magic and Los Angeles Lakers to agree on a deal centered on Andrew Bynum. Howard has told Orlando management that he would sign extensions with three teams – the Dallas Mavericks, Lakers and New Jersey Nets – but the Nets and Mavericks aren’t in strong position to make deals for Howard.
Orlando has been iffy on Nets center Brook Lopez, who has been lost for several weeks with a broken foot. Howard has indicated the Nets are his preference, and they do have the salary-cap space to sign him this summer. Still, Orlando has until the March 15 trade deadline to get a return on Howard, who insists he will leave as a free agent.
Despite Howard’s preference to go to the Brooklyn-bound Nets to play with Deron Williams, those close to Howard still believe he’s fluctuating on his future and could be sold on different scenarios.

Fuck Howard if he dosent sign long term and if we have to give up Monta and Curry..Maybe 1 of them but not both...The way Curry was shooting last night and How dumb Ellis went has me wanting to keep both...We need to trade Dorrell Wright and David Lee to NO for Trevor Ariza and Carl Landry..
We need an athletic SF who can put the ball on the floor..Create his own shot and knock some shit down from the outside..Ariza can do that and Landry is a speciman and can rebound his ass off...
