Restricted-free-agent Monta Ellis re-signed Thursday with the Golden
State Warriors for six years and $66 million —
6-6-6! Here's what they're saying out in the ether about the deal ... Talking Points with Tim Kawakami : "Ellis had to get paid. Even before Baron Davis bolted, Ellis was going to get paid–he's a 20-point scorer at a very high percentage and he’s young. ...
(07-24) 21:47 PDT -- Monta Ellis' signing by
the Warriors to be Baron II is no surprise.
He had no other offers, the Warriors had no alternatives, the Greeks hadn't settled on a playmate for Josh Childress - why, it was a marriage made in heaven, if ...

(07-23) 20:55 PDT -- Got a question about
the Warriors or about a pebble-grain rash? Ask Dr.
Hoopz. Q: Doc, Chris Mullin, the Warriors' executive vice president, talked Wednesday about the team's "vision," which I assume means its master plan. What ...
If you have never watched a NESN Red
Sox broadcast I will tell you that you are
missing out on perhaps one of the most hilarious telecasts you'll ever see. I get people who email me nightly saying things like, "Remy is joking on Kevin Costner," or, ...
A lot of what this team still needs
depends upon how good Patrick O'Bryant really is this
year. If he can't give us productive minutes backing up Perk, we're stuck with smallball and forcing KG to guard centers. If he can develop into a solid option, that shores up the 4 and 5 positions quite nicely. Is Danny ready to roll the dice on that chance? Not just yet.
With varying levels of Warriors Nation emotion to
mark the occasions, after varying degrees of high-adrenaline success
and repeated failure during their East Bay tenures, we’ve seen quite the exodus of interesting Warriors players in the last few weeks. Baron Davis is the big one ...
Well, we can cool the Matt Barnes to
the Wizards speculation because Barnes, who ignited his once-flagging
career in Golden State two years ago while playing Nellie-ball, agreed to a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the Phoenix Suns yesterday, ...
Matt Barnes told me tonight he is signing
with the Suns, a one-year deal for the league
minimum ($926,678) . This ends the deteriorated relationship between Barnes and the Warriors. Just two seasons ago, he was the man, the key role player in their ...
As had become apparent over the past few
days , the Lakers were not interested in paying
hyphy superstar Ronny Turiaf $17 million over four years. Thus, the Frenchman has relocated to the Bay Area and will suit up as a key cog in Don Nelson 's big-man rotation for Golden State. Andris Biedrins expects to remain the starting center in Oakland (if he ever re-signs) and Al Harrington should be ...
Golden State Warriors From Rick Barry to "World
B. Free", the Golden State Warriors have always attracted
a unique brand of athlete. The team began as the San Francisco Warriors playing out of the Cow Palace before moving to the Oakland Arena in 1971 ...
Patrick O’Bryant arrived in town saying all the
right things . He’s thrilled to be here, it’s
a fresh start , blah blah blah. But seriously, I can’t blame O’Bryant for being happy crazy Don Nelson isn’t looking over his shoulder. Tyronn Lue sounds bummed he ended ...
Doing work for tomorrow’s column, just got off
the phone with Don Nelson–one Warriors’ official who is
talking–and got his quick takes on adding Corey Maggette, possibly adding Ronny Turiaf, and moving Monta Ellis to point ...
After being left at the alter by both
Baron Davis and Elton Brand , the Warriors finally
found someone willing to take their money: Corey Maggette . According to the Los Angeles Daily News , Maggette agreed to a five-year, $50 million deal ...
Memphis, ESPN hates you because you suck, not
because you're small . Hey, surprise! A columnist for
a failing industry dislikes a popular medium that's thriving ! Shocking! For what it's worth, we devote a great deal of effort to being responsible ...
The Chicago Bulls announced that Del Harris, Bernie
Bickerstaff and Bob Ociepka have been hired as assistant
coaches on Vinny Del Negro's coaching staff. In addition, Pete Myers will remain in his current role as assistant coach. In accordance with club policy, terms of the contracts were not announced. "When I first accepted this position, I made it a top priority to surround myself with an ...
Dallas Morning News: Del Harris, who served as
assistant coach to Don Nelson and Avery Johnson over
a nine-year stay with the organization, is expected to sign a contract today to be an assistant in Chicago for new Bulls' coach Vinny Del ...
Props to ESPN’s Marc Stein for breaking some
rather earth-shattering NBA news last night: For the first
time in recorded history, someone actually chose Donald Sterling and the frugal Clippers. Golden State’s Baron Davis left $17.8 million on the table - perhaps that season-ending tiff with coach Don Nelson was more significant than previously thought - to ink a 5-year, $65 ...
Where to begin? Of all the things I
thought might happen to the Warriors this summer —
and that’s a mighty lengthy list — Baron Davis passing on $17.8 million is not one of them. Of course, that’s because Baron was telling everyone ...
Ah, Baron. In a move that falls somewhere
between tragically predictable and predictably tragic, Baron Davis has
opted out. I’m shocked, frankly, and my guesses on this front were all wrong. Time will tell whether Baron would have been better off taking the money and running (hobbling?). In the meantime, here are the different scenarios for his contract status and my pick of the bunch. ...
OK, Nellie, let’s see what you do with
an 18-year-old skinny forward who isn’t named Brandan Wright.
Yep, it wasn’t a smokescreen: The Warriors hinted for days that if Anthony Randolph was there at 14, they were taking him. He was ...
