they want AI.

J-Rich and Foyle is a joke of epic porportions.

J-Rich and Murphy is more feasible, and better in the longrun for this squad.

Billy King is not NUTS.

There would be a riot in the streets of Philly if they traded their franchise for J-Rich, and Adonal freakin Foyle!

I don't like giving up JR for AI -- especially since AI's got $40 million coming for the next two years (and another $9 mill this year).  But getting rid of Foyle might make it work, since he's got three years after this one.  The W's would have to make it thru AI's last year by going over cap to keep AB and Monta, but then they'd be close to seeing daylight on the cap.

So, from a BBall perspective, an AI trade does little for me -- he's just NOT what the team really needs -- but from a cap perspective, it could work.  (Tho if I were King, I'd rather have Megette, Livingston and whoever from the Clips -- and that trade's on the table, too, it appears.)

If the W's deal either AB or Monta, though, that'll be it for me.  They have to keep that future if they're ever going to dig out of this hole.

it would help dumping foyle's contract but wtfffff I don't want jrich leaving! I like our team! I think somebody already said it but its our front court with the problem not the back!

how can you give away your heart? you can't live without your heart!

I don't like losing J-Rich.

AI is not gonna pull a miracle and turn us into a contender. This is a bad idea. Seriously though if J-Rich gets traded, I'm gonna become a Kings or a Sixers fan because of Jason. I know im not tha only one thats thinkin this.

why would you not want to dump foyle's contract if you could

I think I wouldn't watch or care of about the warriors for a long time. I would probably look after the team jrich is on. I want him to get a ring, even better if it's with the warriors. I agree with most who think Mullin should pass on this deal. It's still the beginning of the season, I feel like the warriors already have 2nd round playoff potential, but they just don't know how to use it and/or keep it consistent. Plus, Richardson wasn't 100%, so we still don't know how much he can bring. And now they're not gonna wait? Geez. He's definitely the heart of the team. How can Mullin just trade him off when he listened to him in order to bring in Baron two seasons ago. I don't know what to expect anymore.

The Sacramento Kings are out of the Allen Iverson derby.

``We're staying away,'' Kings co-owner Joe Maloof said in a telephone interview with Scott Soshnick. ``We're not going forward.''

Maloof did not cite a reason why they will not be exploring a trade for the former Most Valuable Player.

i love AI but we need a big man more than him...my only hope is that we could use AI in another trade later for that big

you guys love this kid because of his "potential"?  he has inconsistent jumpers and turns the ball over way too much.  the only reason i see you guys liking him is because he's quick and gets layups/dunks.  layups/dunks = energizes crowd = monta ellis becomes fan favorite

You guys are worried about losing the heart of the Warriors? JRich does play all out everytime he steps on the court, but he's hurt. And AI's heart is legendary. No one can match AI's intensity game in and game out. I like the move. I think bringing over AI may inspire the other Warriors to bring some more intensity to the table. The fact is JRich has been on the Warriors for 5 or 6 years and where has he taken us. I'm not saying it's JRich's fault that the Warriors spin their wheels every season, but the Warriors probably aren't headed anywhere with this nucleas anyways. It's time for a dramatic change.

I would give up davis instead of j-rich

Why would the sixers want j rich when they have andre iguodala? and besides, which do u think would work better: baron iverson and monta? or Monta iverson and j rich? so i don't see how giving up richardson would work for anybody. monta on the other hand....

I've always loved Iverson's game and heart but i don't think JR (+ contracts and scraps) for Iverson makes sense. Iverson and BD can score, but to get decent numbers (+25 points) they both require lots of shots. having two volume shooters on one team isn't a good idea (especially when you don't have any pure shooters or enough low post scoring to bring up the teams shot %). also Monta and Iverson's games seem too similar to me to want both on the field at the same time. Monta+Iverson+BD = redundancy and low shot percentage. And whats that give you? BD, Iverson, Monta, Pietrus, AB? thats way too small. so is Monta a sub? i don't get it... unless they then move BD to get another piece.

Iverson for BD (+ contracts and scraps) seems to result in a better team. Monta, Iverson, JR, Pietrus, AB. its better but i still think you lack a real point guard (still not convinced Monta's a better 1 then 2) and enough rebounding/low post scoring.

honestly i don't get why GS is going for Iverson in the first place. GSs big issues are rebounding, interior defense, and offensive black outs. we need a reliable big forward (KG baby, Gasol, Bosh, Dwight Howard)  to compliment AB who can get to the hole when the offense stagnates and brings hard nosed defendesr to compliment AB shot blocking but slightly soft defense. If that fials we need a Star SF who can slash, defend and rebound (Ron Artest, Al Harrington, Reshard Lewis, Paul Pierce). I like Pietrus but he's not good enough for a team without a Star PF. If you can't get a star PF or SF defender then the last GOOD option would be a star shooter (Stojakovic, Ray Allen)

my guess as to Nellie's perfered lineup -> Monta/BD/JR/Pieitrus/AB is just too small
best -> Monta/+-BD or +-JR/Pietrus/Garnet/AB is perfect but a hoop dream
2nd best -> Monta/+-BD or +-JR/Rashard Lewis or Paul Pierce/Ike/AB
3rd best -> BD/Ray Allen/JR/some defensive minded, rebounding low scoring PF/AB

i'll be at the game. as an NBA fan/ticket buyer i'm sad to see TMac isn't gonna play. as a warriors fan i'm happy.
