Garry St. Jean Trade Deadline Transcript Warriors General Manager Garry St. Jean Met With The Media Following The 2003-04 Trading Deadline It seemed like this trading deadline you knew going in if you didn?t make any moves you would be happy, but if someone came to you with the right move than you would make a move because you had the right kind of assets. Is that the feeling that you had leading up to the deadline? Full Story
It seems to me that for the Warriors to be successful in the future, they need to do nothing but resign their nucleus of young players and keep their coach. The only reason that they didn't do as well as hoped this year is because of injuries. If this team was at full-strength, we'd be looking at a playoff spot by now (as good as, if not better than Denver or Memphis).
I pray it doesn't get any worse like the Hawks or the Magic or Phoenix. I think those were playoff teams last year. Well at least 2 of those 3. Now look at those teams.
Yeah... how does that happen? Going from being a playoff contender and the league's up and coming team to the worst teams in each conference.
Well Magic wasn't that impressive last year. They were the 8th seed in the horrible east and gave away a 3-1 lead to the Pistons in the first round. The suns, on the other hand, I have no answer to.
So I guess St. Jean isn't that bad of a guy. I think Twardzik, Cohan and the warriors scouts were more to blame. Still Todd Fuller (instead of 6 possible franchise stars), Joe Smith (instead of KG, Sheed, Finley, Brent Barry or at least Jerry Stackhouse), Adonal Foyle instead of T-mac. Ouch. I'd rather we draft a Kwame Brown or a Darius Miles than do anything we did in the past during the 1994-2000 drafts. WTF, mate?
