Yeah...big difference between finishing 7th as compared to 8th and getting bounced in the first round.

LOL

I'm joking...LOL!

I think the Warriors DO need to worry about who the big man is...Phoenix, for the past few years, have been able to put up 120 ppg (not exact) against anyone...but when the opposition can put up 125, it's no good.

Copied and pasted from somebody else from another board:

"Some things happening with the Warriors make me think something like this trade might really be happening. For one thing, the Warriors signed Anthony Morrow, who could be a replacement for Belinelli. Second, Wright has been sitting out all of the summer league since suffering a sprained ankle--maybe they were really holding him out because a trade is in the works, and they want to keep him healthy. Pretty interesting."

shaping up to be a solid team !!!
of course i felt real comfortable with Baron running the 1, BUT you check out those Monta highlights, and he's terrific with the pick and roll and well all know his 15 footer is automatic !!! when jrich got traded, monta grew, now with baron gone, monta's got a chance to take it to another level.

josh smith story posted today

negotiations are reportedly going nowhere between the atlanta hawks and restricted free agent josh smith. Smith is hoping for an annual salary in excess of $10 million while the hawks are reluctant to meet his price.
It's easy to forget the hawks won just 37 regular season games last season since what everyone remembers is atlanta pushing the boston celtics to the brink in the first round. The cold hard truth is, though, that atlanta really isn't anywhere close to contending. As such, giving smith big-time money is a risky proposition. Moreover, with mike bibby scheduled to come off the books next summer, the hawks could look to re-tool in the summer of 2009 or 2010.

At this stage, it looks like the hawks best bet might be to sign and trade josh smith. Sekou smith of the atlanta journal-constitution indicated that a "western conference power" and an "eastern conference big dog" have already submitted offers to the hawks, and that the team is currently in the process of weighing those offers.

Of course, any kind of sign and trade deal is harder than it appears at face value. If smith signs a contract in excess of $10 million as it's expected he will, he will immediately become a base year compensation (byc) player due to the 20% increase in his salary. This means the hawks could only take back 50% of smith's byc contract, which definitely complicates potential trade scenarios. It's possible that a third team might have to get involved in a number trade scenarios. Still, even while complicated to consummate, there's a heck of a lot of smoke coming from the sign and trade josh smith fire.

This can't help but make one wonder who exactly the teams are that sekou smith was referring to. could the la lakers be the "western conference powerhouse" poised to make a play for smith?

Well, the lakers could offer lamar odom to the hawks and take back smith and point guard speedy claxton, provided the deal smith signs with atlanta before being traded is enough to match salaries given his byc status. The move would give the lakers the defensive presence it lacked in the finals against the boston celtics, and it would also provide the hawks with a good player and an expiring contract in odom valued at over $14 million.

The denver nuggets could be a suitor, too, as a result of the $10 million trade exception the team received in the marcus camby deal according to league sources. In addition to the trade exception, the nuggets have some future first round picks to play with as well as young talent like j.r. Smith and linas kleiza. The nuggets are the only team that can offer the hawks straight cap relief. The question is whether or not the nuggets would be willing to shell out somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-12 million for smith, which would once again put the nuggets deep into luxury tax territory...

^^^ we'd have to either not resign biedrins, or trade harrington plus another player

but other teams are pushing better offers for smith. the lakers and pistons and nuggets are a couple of the teams interested

Andris Biedrins Re-Signed:

The Warriors have moved quickly to prevent Andris Biedrins from considering interest from deep-pocketed teams in Europe by reaching terms on a new deal with the restricted free agent.

League front-office sources told ESPN.com that Biedrins was en route to Oakland on Sunday night, after agreeing to a new six-year deal with the Warriors worth nearly $63M. The contract will likely be signed Monday and include a player option for Biedrins to return to the free-agent market in the summer of 2013 after completing five seasons.
