Dubs Updates...

Alrighty, as most everybody knows, the Golden State Warriors have made some slight adjustments this offseason...

We did lose a few players... (we'll miss each of you...hopefully not TOO much tho)
- Baron Davis left, and is now officially a Clipper (although they gave up both Corey AND Elton)
- Matt Barnes is a part of the Suns organization
- Mickael Pietrus is now on the Orlando Magic (among 10 other shooting guards, so sorry J.J.)
- And so sorry (for Jorge) to say, our dear, beloved, high-flying, definitively dunking, Austin Croshere is (most likely) NOT going to be picked up...by anyone...every again...amen.
- C-Webb's also probably done for


But we also added some key figures...
- The biggest of which being Mr. Corey Maggette (!!!). When he's good, he's very good.
- We also added some post presence as well by picking up restricted free-agent and ex-Laker, Ronny Turiaf
- Then we picked up free agent, Marcus Williams to help out Monta on his off nights
- Rookie-wise we got a few new players (and possibly more to come):
- Anthony Randolph (a star in the Las Vegas summerleague)
- Richard Hendrix (our second round pick from Alabama, that made a splash in
summerleague as well)
- Anthony Morrow (a late signee that actually earned himself MVP honors at the
Rocky Mountain Revue summerleague)


And the rest of the team is already looking solid...
- Luckily we signed back two key players in Monta Ellis and Andris Beidrins
- And then we also resigned bench player extraordinaire: Kelenna Azubuike
- Brandon Wright and Marco Belinelli both had great summerleague appearances...again.
- Stephen Jackson is ready and raring to go and be the veteran leader of our rather young team
- Al Harrington (despite being at the center of many rumored trade talks) has definitely got Stack Jack's back in the leading veteran side (and hopefully can produce better than he did in the second half of last season...oye...
- C.J. Watson is back as well, and will probably be a backup to our (new) backup point guard (sorry C.J.)
- Kosta Perovic is still around, but my feeling is he'll probably just be extra trade fodder (whether it's with Williams, Harrington, Wright, and/or Belinelli for a more solid power forward, which just so happens to be our the only hole in our lineup keeping us from our next NBA title...)

So if you've actually been reading this, our starting lineup (graced with the face of our veteran leader), will most likely look something like this:


Well, I'm excited, and I know you're excited, well, only THREE MORE MONTHS (only two if you include training camp and preseason exhibitions...and yes, I do!!!) till the start of the regular season!!!
