    Don't get me wrong, Canzano has no credibility with me. My default reaction to him attacking somebody is to take the other side. My dislike of Olshey's approach to dealing with the fans doesn't come from the media - I arrived at that all on my own! :cheers:

    Having just sneered at Ariza, I found this, which is a little encouraging:

    I think Neil gets Derozen or LMA or Harrison Barnes. Cut costs as much as he can for now and then use Hassan and Ariza contracts later for a good veteran and go with a high quality group next season. This season is a wash. It’s essentially the Warriors season, just get healthy and add some pieces and get back to normal next year.

    The only time money/tax/draft picks are the justification for a trade it means management has already failed miserably at assembling a competitive team.

    Since we ended last season with a highly competitive team, and management dumped most of the players, and the team is now a cellar dweller, we need new management.

    Hopefully before we draft.

    I have to give Olshey credit. It takes a silver tongue and a truck load of chutzpah to make a total mess of the team's payroll - and then convince a large chunk of the fan you are the victim of the mis-managed cap situation! :blink:

    I see politics isn't the only think you lack knowledge of. You do realize that right now we are missing 4 of 5 starters and only had 8 players dressed down? Majority of fans wanted Harkless and Aminu gone and we had no money to be able to sign Curry. The fans also were lauding the acquisition of Bazemore. The hindsight Monday morning quarterbacks are awesome.

    Is DeRozen a SF?

    This team would still be a dumpster fire if they had Moe, Aminu, Turner and Meyers. It's the fact they're missing Nurk, Hood and Collins that can't be ignored.

    I think lost in this is the potential ability to trade Ariza, which is an easier contract to trade than Bazemores was. Tho I think at this point, he'll just be waived after the draft (Bazemore would've just been renounced/released/whatever).

    I wonder what they'll do with Whitesides contract, if anything. My gut says they won't, but at the same time it'd be kind of dumb to do nothing about it. Losing him for nothing will only save them $, as I don't think that will help them realistically sign anyone next off-season.

    Or, and hear me out on this, it could be that people maybe have a different opinion of what he's done and the causes of the crappy season, and you have a hard time accepting a different opinion, so much so that you made a screen name mocking him because that's something a typical adult does.

    No... I’m pretty sure his followers have not disagreed with one move he has made in 7+ years... not one! That’s not just a difference of opinion.

    well, he had no choice but to make another user name after he was banned awhile back. He seems to have come back much angrier.
