Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.
Around SBN: New media and the Loss of Sportsmanship

Warriors fan here. Would you guys be open to this trade?

Well, I'm just going to copy and paste a recent post that I made on GSoM.

Alright, I was reading today's Chat with Chad Ford, which can be found here, and Chad Ford said that the Phoenix Suns are very interested in Brandan Wright or Anthony Randolph, and Monta Ellis/Andris Biedrins. While I would love to keep all of those players here, I would rather have a superstar like Amare. Chad Ford stated that the only thing missing for a trade like that to occur, would be a significant expiring contract, which the Warriors have none of. For a trade like this to occur, the Warriors would have to find a third team that would be interested in Corey Maggette or Stephen Jackson, that would send expiring contracts to Phoenix.

 

My example of a trade like this would be found here. I know this isn't a likely scenario, but I think it may be possible. Portland gets some nice bench pieces, and maybe even a starter if they want to start Barbosa, and they get something for the RLEC. Phoenix gets young players and an expiring contract, Golden State would probably have to throw in a future pick, and Golden State would get Amare.


Personally, if the Warriors had to trade either Monta or Biedrins to get a superstar like Amare, I would prefer trading Monta. I mean, I love Monta and all, but bigs are much harder to replace. Just look at this year's draft, look at the point guards that it's loaded with. The Warriors could get the number 13/14 pick and still end up with a quality point. Bigs are much harder to come by, and personally, I think that Monta is much easier to replace than Biedrins. Look at all the years it took for us to find a good center. Pretty much since the drought started. I'm only 15, so I'm not completely sure on the last sentence, but even as an eight year old, I hated having to watch Dampier and Foyle. I love Monta, but he is definitely more expendable than Biedrins.

 

What do you guys think of this? Do you think it's a fair trade? Would you guys be open to this idea? How would you improve it?

NO MORE "WHAT IF" WARRIOR'S TRADE

I like Monta Ellis but he’s built for a running game.

And I can’t see the other players as defensive pieces.

NEXT.

With Biedrins in the deal,

it’s certainly something I’d consider.

Ellis hasn't looked the same post surgery.

And I’d take Barbosa over Randolph right now, so I don’t think I’d do this trade

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

We’d definitely need Biedrins rather than Ellis. Monta Ellis is not a point guard, despite what Golden State would like to believe.
