Monta is the perfect player for us because he can back up Harris but also start at shooting gaurd.</div>
    It'd probably only help the Warriors if he signed an offer sheet from you guys. According to S2's salary numbers you guys have 9.6 million in cap space without rookie contracts. Add in two first round picks and a second round pick and its probably down to 6 or less. Even if Monta signed an offer sheet for 9.6 I think the Warriors would match that, at 6-7 mils its a no-brainer.

    As for Pietrus, hes 75% gone. He'd been requesting a trade for about a year and a half, finally started playing well and playing more after the all-star break of last season but I still think hes gone. Warriors wouldn't take him back unless he comes very cheap and hes unrestricted.

    Baron will play out his contract and could very well be let go of after next season.

    Someone's going to sign him and start him and have a much better record than otherwise.

    He may not put up jaw dropping stats, but he does change games in all the other ways. Even so, his stats aren't horrible for a guy who struggled to get PT. When he did get PT, I was quite impressed.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Clippers' guard Shaun Livingston is set to become an unrestricted free agent with the Clippers declining to tender him a qualifying offer, the New York Daily News is reporting.

    Livingston is still rehabilitating from a devastating knee injury and may be too much of a medical risk for a team that is hoping to add a starting-caliber point guard.

    I really don't see J.R. as a great fit. I think we need more of a defensive stopper at that 2/3 spot. like a bowen/battier type. I'm anxious to see how simmons comes back from injury... as he has a similar skillset

    im sorry to say this but simmons is done...might be the worst MIP ever...he can't even jump...
    just can't ask him more act like other MIPs such as Tmac or Monta or JO or agent zero...

    10 points per game and god bless...

    Anyone think there's a chance we could get a Stevenson-type deal in FA?

    Joshm Smith would be insane, but if the Hawks are worth anything they match. Not a ton of guys have a complete game like him.

    I think it would be worth it to offer him the max, but lets not get our hopes up.

    We could do a lot worse than Quinton Ross

    we are not getting josh smith or monta!

    leave that dream alone.

    they are looking for someone with veteran experience to come in here at the backup pg and sf or pf position.

    it would be great if they could put a package together for brand and mobley.
