I wonder how much he’s asking for? 10-12mil per annum? Max money based on potential?

haha

Maybe he doesn’t have much of a 3-point shot because he can’t see the basket from that far away. next year he’ll start wearing prescription Kareem goggles. In five years he’ll lose his eyesight altogether

don’t be surprised if Monta finds out about this and has Dime take it down before Chris Mullen can see and rescind his contract offer.

Losing Baron will have a huge impact on their present, but the team is extremely young for the most part and they need to look to the future. People are making it a bigger deal than it is. They had a good run for a couple years, and while they made some noise and were a team nobody wanted to face in the first round, nobody considered them championship contenders. They got manhandled by Carlos Boozer in the second round a couple years ago and their flaws were exposed. The West is stacked with great teams and even with some tinkering, the Warriors weren’t poised to challenge the best teams in the league.

When they lost out on the Kevin Garnett sweepstakes, that was a wrap, cuz like you said, free agents aren’t lining up to play for the Ws. So, dealing with the reality of Baron leaving, where the writing was on the wall with how Nellie treated him in their last game, you have to consider your best options.

Sometimes you have to take a couple steps back before you can move forward, just look at the Celtics. The Warriors’ salary situation is great and they have some young talent to develop. Harrington and Jackson can be used as trade bait (even if it’s just for their contracts) and might be able to bring in more young talent/draft picks.

Losing Baron sucks right now, but looking toward the future, it’s not the end of the world. Cap room and high draft picks gives them something substantial to work with, even if there are some serious growing pains along the way.

Everybody knows Monta isn’t a PG. They just need a serviceable PG for now and try to pick a good one up down the road, either through the draft or trades.

NEXT ON PTI:

A 45-SECOND SERIOUS DEBATE ON WHETHER MONTA ELLIS’ PORN ADDICTION IS A CONCERN FOR CHRIS MULLEN AND THE WARRIORS ORGANIZATION

I can see it now. in five years Monta will be out of the league because of the most bizarre non-sports-related injury of the new millenium: hairy palms resulting from too much masturbation.

“I just couldn’t grip the ball anymore… I’d get a pass and it would slip right through… it got so bad they traded me to the Grizzlies as a practical joke.”

@ Brown
You don’t think losin Baron’s a big deal? I think people about to get shocked by Monta’s lack of point guard skills. We know he can score like crazy but Baron was the set-up man for that squad. Golden State is already one of the worse teams in the league now, with or without Monta. Baron took a lotta pressure off those dudes and let them just play.When the team was rollin, it was all love, but when they lost some games, who took the blame? I can’t see Jack bein good with the losin they about to take.

If Jack hadn’t been suspended for the first 2 weeks of the season, it might have been Warriors-Lakers in the first round and reppin the Lakeshow, I did not wanna see those matchups.
The biggest problem with the Warriors apart from Nelson is the fact that free agents don’t come to Oakland and apart from gettin lucky to grab Monta in the 2nd round, they draft picks have been turrible. Apart from 2001 when they got JRich, Murphy and Gil(and lost them all), it’s been junk at best.
Best of luck in the Pacific for these guys tho
