and is this a surprise??? tolliver is a 6'9" d-leaguer, and Amare can posterize anyone. Tolliver just happened to the victim of the night. The difference between him and Amundson, while Amundson can hustle, is Tolliver has a lil bit of talent. I'll take his 12 and 7 over Amundson's 4 and 4. I dont want Chris Andersen's caveman-lookin lil brother on this team.
New co-owner Joe Lacob just did an interview on KNBR with Ralph and Tom. One of the interesting tidbits in it was about what he’s going to do with the coach. But he has a bit of a a dilemma. Lacob said what everybody else already knows: the Nellie era is done. And Lacob said in the interview that he wants a young coach in the new era (he listed Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks as an example). But the question he has to answer is when will the era end? Now? Or after this coming season? What makes the decision difficult is that he can’t make the move until he becomes owner of the team, which he said he’s hoping to be officially by late September. (Though, he said outgoing owner Chris Cohan has obliged him since the sale agreement. If he wanted Nelson gone, couldn’t he just tell Cohan to fire Nellie and hire the guy he wanted?) If that is when he gets ownership, that’s about the start of camp and a month before the season starts.

In an interview KNBR and via Marcus Thompson of InsideBayArea.com, Lacob says the Nellie era is done. The question is, does this happen this year or next? "It's not really whether Nellie is here this year or not. He's not going to be here beyond this year, that is clear," Lacob said. "His contract ends and I could tell you, he would tell you, this is last year IF he coaches. We are going to be thinking about the future. The only question is when we begin that future and whether this is the right thing to have him coaching during this period. We'll have to make that decision."

Springfield native and basketball free agent Anthony Tolliver is closing in on selecting his next National Basketball Association team. He said today that he likely will sign with the Golden State Warriors (where he played last season) or the Minnesota Timberwolves. “I haven’t made a decision yet,” Tolliver said in a telephone interview, “but we’re getting there and I hope to have a decision soon.

Incoming Warriors’ owner Joe Lacob sent a lot of signals, didn’t get pinned down on too many uncomfortable details and probably achieved exactly what he wanted in two big media appearances yesterday. He came across as very reasonable, thoughtful, very familiar with the recent history of the team, and fairly straight-shooting, at least for a mega- millionaire suddenly thrust into the limelight. I’m told he also did the two-stop tour mostly without entourage or handlers, which, again, is a very positive sign for the Warriors.

Lacob sounded a lot more excited about Lee and Stephen Curry than he did about Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins. Nothing wrong with that. I wouldn’t presume that these guys will definitely be traded. But it’s also something everybody in the league will be watching.

Despite the solid statistics, Tolliver said the Warriors' initial contract offers were "really low. I was disappointed." But those numbers have risen and he said he would prefer to return to Golden State if the contract numbers are similar to other teams. "I would love to go back to Golden State and be part of their core, but at the end of the day I'm in business to further myself and my family," he said.

Tolliver, the Springfield native and NBA free agent, said Wednesday he expects to sign with either the Golden State Warriors or Minnesota Timberwolves. "I haven't made a decision yet," Tolliver said, "but we're getting there and I hope to have a decision soon. "Once they have their final (financial) figure and years guaranteed, that's when I plan on making my decision --unless somebody comes in late," he added.

At a downtown press conference, Lin acknowledged that his NBA career path was far from common, but insisted he could still succeed. "Coming out of college into the draft, being Asian-American and being from Harvard, that's not going to be an advantage because of stereotypes," he said.

He told reporters that religion is a major part of his life and where he saw his eventual destiny. "I still want to be a pastor somewhere down the line, that is something that is definitely on my radar," he said. "I have an economics degree with a minor in sociology. The reason I have that is because I want to do a ministry in urban areas and help with underprivileged kids."

Sources told me that NIKE Taiwan is negotiating with Lin’s agent Roger Montgomery for a show deal, but it’s possible that NIKE global will take over if it finds Lin is worth it. Lin wore NIKE shoes at Harvard, which is sponsored by NIKE.

^^^hopefully Lin doesn't get treated like Belinelli and gets benched most of te season. Lin paticipated in a bball charity game in Taiwan where he scored 17 points. They said he was a crowd favorite in that game. With that said, I hope Pargo's main purpose on the team is to help Curry and Lin expand their PG skills and not take any PT away from Lin as a back up PG
