These Are Busy Times
Never have the Warriors been more in the national media spotlight than they are right now. It seems that various talking head across the country seem to think that the Dubs are the leaders in the Allen Iverson give-away sweepstakes.
Personally I'm torn. I would love to see a superstar, the magnitude of Iverson playing his home games at the O. Iverson brings an unquestioned resume of being one of the toughest/quickest/unstoppable players ever. His career scoring avg. is 28 points a game. He is a former MVP and USA Olympian. Something that the Dubs do not have.
However there are two guys the Warriors have stumbled on recently, Andries Biedrins and Monta Ellis who I think are not worth trading. While its uncertain whether they will blossom to become the caliber of player that Iverson is, their potential at this point is extremely promising. Biedrins especially is the type of player that doesn't come along very often. (i.e. a 7 foot center, with exceptional hands, a motor that doesn't quit, and a great attitude)
If the Dubs could get away with giving up anyone besides these two, I think it would be worth it to make a trade.
Make sure to check out Bill Simmons today for his take on the greatness of Allen Iverson.
Also, it should be noted that the Dubs shot the lights out last night against the Kings from Sacto. Matt Barnes went bananas, all the while leading to my theory that he is the same player as Mikhael Pietrus, and hence, Pietrus is expendable. (especially in any trade for AI)
Barnes scored the most points last night, but check out what the Elias Sports Bureau (stat geeks) had to say about Biedrins performance:(via espn.com)
"The Warriors jumped out to an early lead over the Kings and ran to a 126-113 victory in Oakland. And while Matt Barnes had career highs of 32 points and 11 rebounds, the Elias Says Player Of The Night has to be Andris Biedrins.
Biedrins scored 20 points and had 14 rebounds, shooting 7-for-7 from the floor and 6-for-6 from the foul line. No player in NBA history had ever had a game in which he had as many points and as many rebounds, with perfect shooting from both the floor and the line (minimums: five field-goal attempts and five free-throw attempts)."
Lastly for full recap of all the rumors flying around, no one does a better job than the crew at a golden state of mind. They have all the rumors covered.
