<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (infinet @ Jul 22 2008, 11:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Would have liked to have gotten Bellinelli instead and just get cut/realease Ager. Oh well...</div> No way that GS gives up Bellinelli. He's a very young and talented player who could turn to into a great scorer in this league. I think what you got for him is pretty fair though, considering where you picked him.
As we discussed earlier, this offseason has ENTIRELY been about filling the roster with players that can produce in Frank's system. First and foremost, that means a commitment to defense--TEAM defense as well as man-to-man defense. At the end of last year, the five or six largest defensive holes on the team were probably Marcus, Boki, Krstic, Swift, RJ, and possibly Ager or even Sean. So you can imagine who will be the next to go.

We were something like 20th in the league last year, this year we'll be even worse. Also, we're an injury away from VC as backup pg again. Hope we're not done.</div> I'd rather have Anderson shooting my 3's than Marcus.

Those scenarios aren't that bad, I like the Nets chances. I think being close to home may do Marcus some good, he was never going to work out here so good luck to him.

Btw who is Ager and i thought Sean Williams was a good defender? Is he only good at blocks and nothing else like Camby? </div> Sean is a bad positional defender. He tries to block everything, but never really "defends" his man. For example: On multiple occasions, if he's defending someone on the perimeter, he'll let the player drive by him so he can try and block his shot from behind. Sometimes it works. Most times it doesn't. And it's really frustrating. And Ager is Maurice Ager. He's an under-sized SG that was acquired in the Jason Kidd trade from Dallaes.
Remember when Marcus was supposed to be our great pick from that draft and Boone was supposed to fill a role and hopefully turn into something more. Well look where we are now. Boone has turned into something more (quickly I might add) and Marcus is gone. Time is a bitch huh?

With so much protection, and the 2nd rounders involved, this really handicaps the Warriors ability to make long term moves, unless they really think they are a playoff team next year. -Petey
