The Warriors Are Still the Biggest Mess in the NBA
Sidney MoncriefIn case you didn’t agree with Andrew a couple weeks ago and think the Warriors are the biggest mess in the NBA, have you ever heard of an assistant coach leaving the team mid-season to become a consultant overseas?
Word out of The Bay is that Warriors assistant coach Sidney Moncrief has left the team to become a consultant for the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association. Moncrief, who Don Nelson recently named “offensive coordinator,” will mentor the Ducks’ coaching staff as part of his new duties.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for me,” Moncrief said in a statement. “I certainly enjoyed my time with the Warriors organization and, obviously, owe a great deal of thanks and gratitude to Don Nelson, who has been a friend, mentor and associate of mine for the last 30 years. He’s opened up many doors for me following my playing days and we will always remain close.”
Is it just me, or are the Warriors about to implode? Moncrief is the second assistant to leave Nelson’s bench this season after Larry Riley joined the front office as assistant general manager in November.

tremendous opportunity= fat cash.
So no, that doesnt shock me that an assistant would leave for more money, even overseas.
But yes, Don Nelson is a problem. He was in Dallas and he always will be. His small ball bullshit run/ no defense style might be fun to watch but will never produce anything. On top of that his rotations are mind-bottling.
If the warriors can get rid of the Don and get someone younger and less hard headed they’d be fine cause they have talent.

I just read the letter from the Blazers and it is brutal. They threatended every GM with a lawsuit if they signed Miles.
To me, if Darius can get out in front of everyone else on a break and finish with an alley oop he does not have a career ending injury.

Well if important member are just getting up and leaving the bench then there is def. a problem!
BUT in 2010 if the knicks dont land LBJ than the knicks will be the biggest mess… even if they land bosh, i dont think it would be enough to make up for all the nonsense they are doing. And the way things are going LBJ seems pretty happy to be in Cleaveland (no losses at home) so if i were a knick fan i would be worried.
The problem of the knicks is not injuries, but the selfishness of the players. While the warriors have been just horrible lately (beat the celtics), one of their main issues has been injuries.
