Warriors Interlude

Okay, I've been good at not writing about the Warriors, but last night I had a revelation. If we traded Monta (bear with me), Wright, and Bellinelli for Chris Bosh this off-season, think about the possibilities. Assuming Crawford doesn't bail (which surprisingly, if this goes through, I hope he doesn't), imagine your starting line. Some point guard (to be addressed later), Crawford, Stack, Bosh, Beans. I mean, that's pretty beastly considering that Crawford and Stack are legit wings who can semi-play point. Okay, next assume you draft a decent point this summer. And, from what I understand, there are a fair amount of possible NBA rotation quality points in the draft. With those other four in the starting lineup, you wouldn't even need a superstar point, just someone who had decent handles and could pass.

Then consider the bench. With Bellinelli and Monta gone, you lose a lot of congestion at the wings, so you have, on the bench, Morrow (shooting fantastically), Buike at the wings, Randolph being Randolph, Ronny running the frontcourt, and Maggette scoring and jacking up fouls. Oh, and CJ Watson running the backup point. I mean it's not the best depth, but you would definitely say it's deep. Okay, now imagine we trade some combination of draft pick/Ronny (God forbid)/Buike (since no one would take Maggette, or would they?) for a second tier starting pg - Raymond Felton/Ramon Sessions for our starting lineup. Final team is something around the lines of 2nd tier pg, Craw, Stack, Bosh, Biens for starting 5, then cj watson/draft pick, morrow, maggette, randolph, ronny, and some random combo of rob kurz/jermareo davidson. That's a good team. I mean, we could definitely make that work. Seriously!

Okay, and on a non-basketball sidenote, this morning I ate some button mushrooms in an omlette in this western-style cafe/deli. Woo mushrooms!
