Just came across this tantalizing little tidbit:
Jul 1 - Kevin Garnett in Oakland is an even worse nightmare for the Lakers. The Suns were already above them. With KG, the Warriors would be too.The Warriors jumped in with both feet on draft day, trading popular Jason Richardson to Charlotte for young Brandan Wright, whom they hadn't even worked out.
With Minnesota seeking prospects, the Warriors are now offering Wright, Monta Ellis and Patrick O'Bryant.
Minnesota is asking for Andris Biedrins. Golden State is offering Al Harrington instead and may also insist that Garnett waive his $6.5-million trade kicker, so it's not done yet. -- Los Angeles Times
The Warriors sounds pretty fair (if not lowballing a tad). I'm glad that they're keeping Biedrins out of the discussions. A big man of his talent level and skillset is truly a scarce commodity in the league. And it's sad to say that while I love Monta, his contributions can be more easily replaced/made up for.
Can you imagine this starting lineup? Baron doing his thing at point, Pietrus (hopefully) stepping up his game at the 2, Stephen Jack playing his usual gritty game, a revitalized KG feeding off the passion of the Bay Area crowd and dominating, and Biedrins improving his expanding game and gaining a mean streak...
Yeah, sounds brilliant huh? We might see the yellow "We Believe" shirts again sooner than we thought if things fall our way.
