Official Golden State Warriors Offseason Thread

[REdRUM]

yeah i took 5 minutes to find those videos. well worth it to expose that retard you were hyping.

"isnt that great of a player" is a huge understatement.

whos better on the bulls then? larry hughes? drew gooden? nocioni? hinrich? ben gordon is the only person that comes close... but he's undersized and not that good, hes ok but i wouldnt want him. harrington and biedrins are better and more useful for a winning team. gordon aint even signed yet, he might flee to europe.

we lost one of our best players... and the crazy thing is... we're better now


"Be happy about that and quit whining about someone not worshipping Nellie's fat ass."

^^^ go fuck yourself, how bout that? shit had nothin to do with how you feel about nellie. had to do with you talkin shit about the mob squad and you dickriding the lakers. you'd have a better chance if you were a lakers fan instead of the sorry ass bullls. even the faggot ass grizzlies are better than the bulls. even the sonics have durant. you guys are fucked.

I'd take Luol Deng, personally. Ben Gordon comes to mind. Derrick Rose, also. Drew Gooden is better, IMO, than your bigs. Nocioni may not be better than all of your roster, but his skill level is undeniable.

And you, my friend, can fuck yourself instead.

LOL @ you and a couple others crying like little bitches because someone didn't agree with you. If you can't take that, you're in the wrong place. I never talked shit about your team (LOL!!! @ mob squad); I just didn't say that I love Monta Ellis and want to suck Stephen Jackson's dick like your faggot ass wants to do.

 

[VanD]

nocioni and deng are ok but just role players, rose hasnt played yet and didnt even look good in summer league. gooden is a shmuck, he hasnt improved and couldnt even play well with lebron. gordon is the only guy that comes close, and like i said he's too small to be a factor for winning. he cant matchup with most 2 guards. and yall havent signed him yet. he might cut to europe

i aint cryin, i'm havin fun sonnin you and your weak ass argument but you sure talk a lot about homo shit. i guess thats what its like to be a bulls fan, instead of offering facts you talk about sucking dicks and you aint even clever about it.

 

[D.I.R.B]

What I dont understand is why this fag still is up in this thread, trying to prove a point when A) he has no point and B) no one gives a fuck.

Hopefully theres some Warriors news soon so we can change the topic and not have to deal with this faggot ass redrum

NOW HE'S THE MAN
With Davis gone, Ellis is the face of the franchise


With Davis out of the picture and plenty of wings on the roster, Ellis is expected to switch primarily from shooting guard to the point.

"It won't be tough at all; it's basketball," Ellis said. "It's different when you go from playing (center) to playing the point. When you're playing a guard position and moving to another guard position, it's not as tough as you think."

In winning the league's Most Improved Player, Ellis jumped from 6.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists a game in his 2005-06 rookie season to 16.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 2006-07. He was a legitimate candidate to repeat as the award-winner last season, when he recorded 20.2 points, five rebounds and 3.9 assists.

Ellis also has improved his field-goal and free-throw shooting and his assist-to-turnover ratio in each of three professional seasons. His career averages are 15.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists a game.

"I'm going to improve. I'm going to improve," Ellis said. "I'm sure of it.

"I'm going to improve every part of my game. That's what I do. That's why I play basketball: to improve and to become the best player (who) ever touched a basketball."

^^^ dope pic, too bad his reflection is cut off

 

[decisive]

he doesn't look too skinny in that picture. ol boy can pack on a couple pounds though.

 

[hella_numb]

^^^ dope pic, too bad his reflection is cut off

too bad there is nothing you can do about it

edit: lol, after lookin at that pic a lil more the basketballs are oblong. probably just the camera lens tho.

 

[hitthegas]

damn that monta vid gave me the chills. so juiced to have him for 6 years.

 

[hitthegas]

Here's What I think the warriors need to do in the offseason:

1. Sign Monta Ellis and Beidrins to Contract extensions

2. at least attempt to sign Baron to a contract extension

3. sign and trade Pietrus

4. either draft, trade or sign a big man who can rebound and defend in the post.

5. get a veteran backup point guard

1. check
2. tried and failed
3. no sign and trade but he's gone
4. turiaf and hendrix
5. no vet but williams should be alright

nice list by the way

yeah i didnt care that much to do anything about it, just thought it was neat from a photography point of view

damn that monta vid gave me the chills. so juiced to have him for 6 years.

theres plenty more on youtube, lots of good mixes... the ones of him in high school are hilarious... he destroys little kids lol

he's the man and he's gonna be better and better and better.

dey filmed dat beginning part at da high school i went to

haha yeah i was just watching those High School vids a few weeks ago. for those who havent seen it yet, heres a short clip of them talking about the game where Monta scored 72 points.



not sure why people are giving him a hard time about playing point guard when he played that position in high school and also part of last season.

 

[VanD]

heres a good one.. it starts off with high school then transitions into nba highlights

 

[MrPeete]

not sure why people are giving him a hard time about playing point guard when he played that position in high school and also part of last season.

He's my favorite player right now and I'm one who helps the cat excells...

- BUT -

You can't compare playing PG in highschool (when you're obviously a freak athlete relative to everybody else) to playing PG in the NBA.

Shit, he played PG in Don Nelson's system. You don't necessarily need to be a pure PG to run the team in that system so it's hard to even say he's played PG in the NBA :cheeky:

 

[D.I.R.B]

yea, and whats gonna happen when Nellie leaves. people keep saying he can be OK in Nellies system running the point, but Nellie is gonna bounce after this year. unless smart takes over and runs the same style offense

 

[VanD]

^^^ with no nellie he'll turn into a chicken running around with his head cut off [/sarcasm]

heres some quotes from the story i posted on the previous page about monta ellis. i dunno why people doubt this kid. he could play for any coach on any team and be a force in the league

 

[DJxREMARKABLE]

^^yeah i know playing PG in high school is nothing compared to playing that position in the NBA, but i was just throwing it out there just to say its nothing new to him. in the end, i was just trying to say its gonna be easy for him to adjust

also, i cant see Nellie leaving after this season. With all these new young players on the roster...it looks like theyre gonna grow into something big (as a team). If all goes well and the Warriors end up making it into the playoffs...i think Nellie is gonna want to stay and coach for another year or two just to see how close he can take this team to the finals. Besides, he was suppose to stop coaching a while back but decided to come back to the Warriors...that just shows how hard it is for him to quit basketball.

If the Warriors keep their young talent and let them develope I still think the team is atliest 3 years away from even considering the finals. By that point Nellie probally would be gone.

Man I'm trying to download the Warriors @ Lakers game on 3/23 this past season, where Stephen Jackson was hitting those 3's at the end of the game. I found a torrent for it but it wont start d/ling cuz it got no seeds. I'm tryin to see this game again!!
