The Warriors Ingenius NBA Draft Plans

By Andrew Katz


Warriors fans should think about doing what Knicks fans did outside MSG when things got really bad with Isiah. In typical salty New York fashion, they picketed on a side street with a giant pink slip, begging for the organization to get rid of ‘Zeke.

The only problem for the Golden State faithful would be choosing who they want fired. You could lop off the entire brain trust at the top of that organization and they’d probably be better off.

Instead of addressing their glaring need at point guard, they’re working out a boat load of wings. Who cares that they already have Stephen Jackson, Corey Maggette, Anthony Morrow, Kelenna Azubuike, Jamal Crawford and Marco Belinelli to play the two and three? Rumor is that they’d really love to add USC 6-6 wing DeMar DeRozan to the mix.

They have nine guys on their roster listed as SG or SF, and that doesn’t even include Monta. That’s easily the most of any squad in the League - only seven other teams have seven guys listed as such.

But that isn’t stopping Nellie and his cronies from seeking out another wing. Terrence Williams said that they told him they’re considering taking him. They’re working out Earl Clark and James Johnson on Saturday. And they already covet DeMar.

“I get a feeling that coach (Don) Nelson is really interested,” DeRozan said. “He talked to me, told me I did well and said he’ll see me soon.”

Why go for a guy like Jonny Flynn, who could very well grow into a carbon copy of Bay Area favorite Baron Davis, when you can get another 6-6 wing?

I thought Nellie stated last year he wanted Ellis to play the point.

I don't get the Flynn - Baron comparison either - Flynn would need to eat straight mayonnaise from now until the beginning of the season to be Baron's size.

LOL, I think he'd have to eat straight lard.

I'm guessing the comparison was meant in terms of style of play?

I'd probably pick Evans there if I were GS, but who knows. That would solve a lot of their matchup problems.

I thought I heard nellie was hell bent on getting rid of JC if he didn't already.

They have a young core of

Biedrins
Randolph
Wright
Belleni
Ellis

They could let Marrow go draft the kid from ucla and then make a move to trade jackson, belleni, wright or ellis. the raptors would be very interested in a Wright/Ellis/Belleni package for bosh I bet.

i think Derozan is a smokescreen or whatever for Warriors.

he will if he doesn't improve next year.

i also think deronzan for the warriors is even too crazy for nellie.

with all of the points available or even guys that are pg/sgs like evans or curry, i think this is not going to happen unless they have a deal in the works.

i called GS to be a team that would likely be interested in drafting Derozan, they never do anything that makes sense... i have a hard time seeing Derozan slipping past all 7 teams ahead of us.
