    Man... I remember his Afro. He was pretty athletic. If anyone can enlighten us on his whereabouts, it would be great.

    Wow. John Starks was a baller back when he was with the Knicks. He became pretty useless after he came to the Warriors. But dang, I'm surprised that he's coaching now. I'm even more surprised that he's coaching Vontego Cummings!? haha... it's a small world after all.

    Please never mention Vonteego ever again. Jeez that brings back one of the Warriors worst draft/trades ever, Mookie and Vonteego for the pick that would be....Jason Terry. Now Terry is not a worldbeater but the guy is a winner, he won at Arizona and I think he will eventually win somewhere.

    talk about disappearing, Where'd that Steve Logan guy go? It seems like the Warriors just dump their second round picks in the garbage, Except for that fool named Gilbert, but to me he's garbage now.

    Logan is playing in Europe I think. He had this foot injury or something that made the warriors think second about signing him.

    Porter had his fair share of problems off the court. A poor attitude was a huge contributing factor to him being exiled from Oakland.

    Terry is not a point guard. He's a great penetrator and a great shooter. What value do you think he would add to the warriors at that size for a 2?

    Finally, somebody else agrees with me on Jason Terry. He is not a point guard.

    No he may not be a PG but he is better than JRich.

    I don't know about that...I'm not the biggest J-Rich supporter, but I would rather have him on my team than JT.
