WELL LOOKS LIKE THE WARRIORS ARE ALREADY GETTING INJURED
Ekpe Udoh, the Golden State Warriors' No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA draft last month, will miss the Summer League after suffering a left wrist injury.
Udoh, who signed a contract with the Warriors for undisclosed terms on Wednesday, suffered the injury during a supervised workout last Sunday evening at the team's practice facility in Oakland. Udoh was working out with teammate Stephen Curry and Summer League teammate Joe Ingles.
"Obviously we're disappointed that this has occurred and that Ekpe will not play in the Summer League," said Warriors' general manager Larry Riley. "By voluntarily returning to the Bay Area this past weekend to participate in supervised workouts, Ekpe has already demonstrated a great work ethic and determination to get better, which will serve him well as he comes back from this injury and prepares for his rookie NBA season."
Udoh, 23, will have his left wrist evaluated this week to determine the nature of the injury and a course of action.
The 6-foot-10 Udoh was the sixth overall pick in the draft after being an honorable mention All-America selection as a junior last season at Baylor. He was also a member of the Big 12 All-Defensive Team. He appeared in 36 games for the Bears in 2009-10, averaging 13.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.69 blocks per contest.

The Warriors are close to sending Anthony Randolph to the Knicks in a sign-and-trade for David Lee.
This is the same deal that was rumored to include Monta Ellis, who is now out of talks. Of course, everything is contingent on LeBron James. If he announces he'll play anywhere but New York, the Warriors would possibly send Randolph, either Ronny Turiaf or Kelenna Azubuike, and Vladimir Radmanovic in exchange for Lee. If LeBron signs with the Knicks, the deal will likely be killed. And frankly, we'd love to see Randolph play for Mike D'Antoni and the Knicks.[/U]
fuck that though, i want randolph to ball out here.

I think I'm okay with trading Randolph for Lee
I'd much rather ship off Randolph than Ellis
Randolph hasn't proven shit... he's shown signs of being a good player... but been very inconsistent
Lee averaged over 20 and 11 last season... that's pretty good
I wouldn't really mind if kept him too though, I'd fine either way

According to multiple sources, including a few within the organization, the Warriors are one of a few teams in the mix for Lee via a sign-and-trade with the Knicks. If James reaches a contract agreement with the Knicks, they would have to renounce their rights to Lee to have enough money under the salary cap to sign James. The Warriors and Knicks have agreed on the players involved, and forward Anthony Randolph is the centerpiece of the package the Warriors would send to New York, not guard Monta Ellis as previously reported. Golden State also will send other players, with center Ronny Turiaf and swingman Kelenna Azubuike among the candidates. Contra Costa Times
The Warriors and Knicks are in advanced talks about a sign-and-trade arrangement that would send free-agent power forward David Lee to the Bay Area for Anthony Randolph and Ronny Turiaf, two people involved in the talks confirmed to CBSSports.com. The trade is being set up as a contingency plan for the Knicks if James chooses to sign with another team Thursday. If James chooses to sign with the Knicks, they will have to renounced his rights -- and thus the rights to sign and trade him under the Larry Bird exception -- in order to clear the necessary salary cap space. Lee's agent, Mark Bartelstein, also is believed to have maintained contact with the Nets, who are in danger of getting shut out in the free-agent chase. But the Golden State scenario for Lee has legs, to an extent. "It's got legs," one of the people involved in the talks said. "But it needs arms, a torso and a head." CBSSports.com
One source warned that getting Lee is still a long shot at this point. Golden State management considers it a real possibility that Lee takes a lucrative offer elsewhere or the Knicks do a sign-and-trade with another team. The Warriors won't offer Lee a max deal, but one source suggested Golden State's ceiling is a six-year deal starting at about $13 million per season. New Jersey is still an option for Lee, as are the Minnesota Timberwolves, whom he visited earlier this month. The news that free-agent power forward Carlos Boozer agreed to a five-year, $80 million deal with the Chicago Bulls helps the Warriors' bid because that's one less team in the running for Lee.

Veteran NBA coach Mike Dunleavy is in the San Francisco Bay area this week, meeting about a possible role in the Golden State Warriors front office when the team is sold, according to NBA sources. Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison is the favorite to become the new owner of the NBA’s losingest franchise by the end of the summer. Dunleavy, fired after a seven year run as coach and GM of the Los Angeles Clippers, also coached the Portland Trail Blazers, Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers. Ben Maller

The Warriors and Knicks have an agreement in place to do a sign-and-trade deal that will send David Lee to Golden State for Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf and Kelenna Azubuike.
It sounds like the deal may be written and will only need to be signed once LeBron James makes his plans known. Of course, if he ends up in New York, the deal is off. We'll have to wait for LeBron's official decision tonight, but as of now, it sounds like there's about an 80 percent chance this deal is going to happen.

i really dont understand why you guys are opposed to gettin a player that averaged 20 and 11 last year, plays in an uptempo offense and doesnt mind banging down low... we get out rebounded everygame, he is just the player we need... while randolph is a talented cat, he hasnt proven anything to me except he likes to pout when things dont go his way. so why not trade him for a proven all star??
