 The Internets are alive: Warriors re-sign young Monta Ellis
The Internets are alive: Warriors re-sign young Monta Ellis
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. ...

Now that Ellis is the Man, how will he handle it?
(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 ...

The good doctor explains the Warriors
(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 ...

 O'Bryant Anecdote
O'Bryant Anecdote
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.

The Warriors’ bye-bye brigade: Barnes, Pietrus and O’Bryant (and Baron) get new scenery
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 ...

Barnes to Phoenix

 Turiaf's a Warrior, Lakers Light Up Front
Turiaf's a Warrior, Lakers Light Up Front
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 ...

 Suddenly, the Clippers Look Quite Good on Paper
Suddenly, the Clippers Look Quite Good on Paper
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 ...

Well, well, well
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 ...

Baron Davis Plays Hardball; Now the Warriors Step Up to the Plate
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.  ...
