************************************** Warriors GTOe-mail: Warriors News ************************************** DEJI AKINDELE, JUSTIN DAVIS AND RAY YOUNG WAIVED Roster Currently Stands At 14 Players The Golden State Warriors have waived center Deji Akindele, forward Justin Davis and guard Ray Young, it was announced today by Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin. http://click.nba.com/viewmsg.cfm?n35002s43...6154t428e273461 Good to see that Miles is still around. I was hoping he'd make the squad.
Woooo! Glad they got waived, especially Ray Young. If there are ANY leftover 1 or 2 spot mins I want them to go to Ellis. But I am glad Miles hasn't been waived, I think he's a keeper.
Bit surprised that we will only keep 14 guys, but none of them played like they actually deserved a spot in NBA. Let's see we will actually keep Miles throught whole season. If not, he may also be waived after 1/4 of the season...
There remains the option of adding one,and C Borchardt-I hear-got cut by the Celts. Good gamble if he can shake the injury jinx that's held him back. Probably a couple more cuts will get considered. The W's may figure #15 is a longshot not worth the $ to sign.
I'm glad those three got cut and we kept Aaron Miles. BTW I love Curtis Borchardt's game. Great passing center/forward and he can shoot the nba 3. (think of Raef La Frentz, but only less disappointing if he were actually healthy). The guy can really block shots and rebound the ball and he's a legit 7 feet. I like the guy, but he's just not the body type to stay healthy. He's worse than Baron's condition and he's as injury prone as Jonathan Bender. But I think he should join us because we don't have any Brad Miller's or Vlade Divac's in terms of passing from the high post. We could totally run the nba version of the princeton offense with a guy like that.

REREM got half the board on the Ike Diogu bandwagon, and viola! Hopefully your Dunleavy predicions come through

Hopefully your Dunleavy predicions come through </div> I think a lot of people could identify with where REREM was coming from in terms of good college players, but sometimes college success carrying into the NBA doesn't happen. But REREM was also looking out for the hot high school prospects like Andrew Bynum, Gerald Green and Andray Blatche who have good fundamentals and lots of upside. I guess the bottom line is that REREM has a good eye for talent when he is watching players play. Sorry had to edit this because I noticed I said "sometimes" and "hardly" together when describing the same thing. Gah....!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Warriorsfan:</div><div class="quote_post">whos REREM?</div> Ah, you'll see him. There's a crew of regulars you'll probably get familar with. This board isn't too big so you'll keep track of who is who. Hey you guys will notice that my posts are a bit long and complex. I'm sorry. -I may end up with something people just don't care to read due to too many words -lot of grammatical errors or conflicting adjectives and adverbs. For this I apologize. I'm trying to get better at this. (keepin it short and simple, but concise and detailed)
