    this is our co-nba team, we share it with Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers.

    Sam Vincent is the head coach(a 1985 first rounder)

    I guess each team sends a special coach to be assistants, so those guys are unknown.

    Awesome. I dont think anyone from the Warriors will be there ay time soon. Maybe if we sign some young European talent they can play in Ft. Worth.

    Hey, maybe I will catch some games since I am in the Dallas/ft worth area...

    Please send down Taft, Biedrens, Montay and some other guys who will wind up rotting on the bench....

    If you were the Warriors who would you sign and put there?

    Anyone know the names of <font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Wayne Wallace, who is Ben Wallace's nephew and </font></font><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Uche Nsonwu-Amadi? I'd be interested in a Ben Wallace type center/forward, with an all around defensive pro type game and is just physically built, highly athletic and is a smart basketball player. Something that Adonal Foyle will never live up to even though he's drawn comparrisons to try and justify that fat contract of his.

    Personally I would send Adonal Foyle, Derek Fisher, and Calbert Chaney down there and maybe Dunleavy...

    I know them...

    Wayne was playing in Belgium 2 years ago. Very raw, very promising, but he had some health problems. Did not play for a long time and is now playing in some minor league in Eastern Europe. He is also not as strong as Ben. Uche played very well for Oostende last season, but he is no NBA material...

    Ah merci' again, chuck. Thanks for the heads up. It would be nice for the Warriors to grab some undrafted gem like a Ben Wallace or Brad Miller type player. Anyone out there you see as really underrated and promising?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Warriorfansnc93:</div><div class="quote_post">Personally I would send Adonal Foyle, Derek Fisher, and Calbert Chaney down there and maybe Dunleavy...</div> I think the league is for rookies with less than two years of nba experience. Maybe there's some kind of loop hole where we can throw in Adonal Foyle in there for playing like a rookie. His bread and butter is only one kind of defense and that's weakside D, not giving up on a play, shotblocking and trying hard. He doesn't force people to travel or disrupt the ball in the low post, his rebounding effort has been great but he can't catch, he turns the simplest play like a layup or dunk into America's Funniest Home Videos, he always unecessarily puts the ball on the floor when he doesn't have to. I should probably be feeling sorry for him because he has to play defense for two or more people and has to endure the scrutiny and criticism for what he does and how much he's overpaid to do what he does.

    I know what you mean about Dunleavy. Flashes of smoothness and skill and then lots of sleepwalking. He'll defend, help on plays and do the little things rather than stand around, but he can't match up against an athletic ballhandler that has the first move. He'll get lost, Jrich or Pietrus has to come help out, the other perimeter guy cuts to the open wing, the ball gets cycled around or kicked back out, then Dunleavy is nearest to the ball and has to come out to challenge, but then it's too late to contest the shot and the shooter usually makes it without fear of getting blocked. I've seen Dunleavy get killed so many times in this way because the other team knew how to exploit the slower matchup, the same matchup that is supposed to be hard for the other team to stop on offense because of his size, shooting stroke, and ballhandling. Based on the way this team is designed I don't see Dunleavy really breaking out. I hope I eat my words though.

    The other guy I tend to pick on is D-Fish. Great set shooter, pretty good defender, solid fundamentals, but he just gets killed against anybody quicker and is a ballstopper equivalent to Pietrus when he doesn't decide to drive. I don't think Derek Fisher plays like a rook, but he definitely plays stubborn behind that 3-point line and has really bad decision making for a guy that's supposed to play as a point guard. This guy only came in second to Baron Davis in the point guard skills contests in all-star weekend, so I know the guy has all the fundamentals like shooting, bounce passing, dribbling, just not the instincts or the physical skills to do what we want him to do in order to create offense for others. He just dribbles it up (even in transition) and then hoists. It's just not smart basketball when we've been struggling to get to the line and not making the most of our seconds on the shotclock and we're trying to bridge the gap between our own fg% and horrible fg% we allow to the other teams. And then here Fish goes chucking away like he actually thinks he's going to make it the 17th time off the dribble with defense tight on his ass. He's horrible off the dribble.
