I'm In Shock.....
(Editor's note: This post was written during extreme levels of intoxication, and while being inturrupted twice by female roomates on the day of the trade.)
I just checked ESPN.com for the score of the Dubs game. They are down 14, 79-93. I checked the box score. Our line up is of 5 guys and Renaldo Major, called up from D league today. He has played one minute. I laughed out loud. The rest of the box score inclued Al Harington, Stephen Jackson and Sarunas Jasikevicius. Their caption was has not entered the game.
At this point, the game is over. Brand, Casesell, Ross, Mobley, and Maggette are all in double figures. This game was suppossed to mean something in the over all scheme of 2007. But tonight it was just a fill in game until the New Warriors take the floor on Saturday night at the Arena with Al Harrington at power forward and Stephen Jackson at small forward against Lebron James...and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But back to the trade. Who won? Who Lost?
At this point, most people and myself included know the Warriors won. They traded two slow white guys for for two athletic black dudes and immediately upgraded their entire team. John Hollinger from ESPN.com is using his P.E.R. (player effieciency rating) to determine that Ike Diogu might be the player that in ten years, this trade is named after. But you know what.....
I don't care at this point. The fact that Mullin was able to jettison the rediculous contracts he handed to Murphy and Dunleavy makes this deal a win for the Warriors. Nelson figured out in one game that those two couldn't play in the same front court together, and he never played the two together again. Now the Warriors are much more athletic in the front court, and their only remaining white player happens to lead the NBA in field goal percentage.
Sounds like a winning a formula to me.
