The Memphis Grizzlies have decided to send rookie center Hasheem Thabeet to the NBDL for some development, according to a report on ESPN.com today. Do you think this makes him more attractive to Don Nelson and the Warriors now? If you remember (of course you remember), the Grizzlies offered shooting [...]
ESPN's Chad Ford ranked all the teams in the NBA on the moves (or lack of moves) they made at the trade deadline. At the top of the list, the Cleveland Cavaliers (I agree). At the bottom of the list, the Phoenix Suns (considering the lack of value they were [...]
All is quiet on the trade front this morning. If any news breaks, we'll break it down, but as of right now, I would be surprised if the Warriors make any trades before the deadline. I still would like to see the Warriors trade Monta Ellis. It's getting more difficult to [...]
Very interesting blog entry from The San Jose Mercury News' Tim Kawakami, who reports that the Warriors turned down a trade offer from the Memphis Grizzlies of O.J. Mayo and cap filler (probably Steven Hunter or Hasheem Thabeet) for Monta Ellis. Go read the blog entry here. On the one [...]

NBA commissioner David Stern chose Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd to replace Lakers injured guard Kobe Bryant on the Western Conference All-Star roster. I assume any chance Warriors guard Monta Ellis had of being chosen died when he sprained his knee. So I don't know if you can classify this [...]
Warriors guard Monta Ellis underwent an MRI exam today in Palo Alto to determine the nature of his injury during Monday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The results of the MRI confirmed the injury is a mild left knee sprain. This is good news. The injury looked worse Monday [...]
