Bill Simmons, ESPN's "Sports Guy," is having some fun putting together three- and four-team trade ideas centered around Chris Paul and is posted them to his twitter feed. First of all, Simmons has to have the funnest job in the world. Second of all, one of his trade proposals involves [...]

What is the Warriors’ weakest position?

If the Warriors don't make another significant move (free agent signing, trade, etc.) before the 2010-11 season begins, what will be the weakest position on the team?

What if the Warriors had traded for Stoudemire?
