Im not saying anything about being the "best fan". im saying a WEEK ago, u urself were stoked to have ellis on the team, and his comeback! but because hes coming off a major injury, and hasnt been the player he was last year, he gets no love all of a sudden. Its gonna take time to get him to be a superstar, and he will be. He'll get his shot back, he moves the ball around the court, he can drive like no other, he just gets buttfucked on foul calls. the team we have IS SICK. We have a team, when fully healthy, that can beat teams. Fuck id love a kobe or lebron too, or dwight howard but u dont think every team hopes for a top 3 player? The warriors are gonna have to change something, but its not gonna come in from a flashy scorer, we already have that, and several of them. When they move the ball around to create open shots, limit their turnovers, and create turnovers via mismatches on defense, they win games.
We get beat on rebounding, and i do think they need another big man, but its not gonna be bosh or amare, plain and simple. im trying to save the grief that some of ya'll are bringing on urselves. And im wrong, so be it, then it works out for everyone. I just dont think giving up several players that are core to the team for a "superstar" is gonna do it.
edit: and i have to say "improving" is improving on defense, rebounding, and not turning the ball over. We've seen what they can do, they just havent closed out games.

I really like Randolph, I hope he is here long term but it seems like he is forcing himself out of golden state. ellis i like to but he is easily replaceable as 2 guards are everywhere, in the nba and college. biedrnis i like as well but i dont know if he will ever be more then a garbage man big man, which is good but he isn't that low post player that the warriors have been tryin to get for years. it's hard to say, what if we keep this core and let them grow and they never do shit together (dunleavy, murphy, j-rich) even tho this core looks better (biedrnis, ellis, randolph, wright, morrow). i also think that amare has hit his ceiling in the NBA. he is what he is and wont get much better. while biedrnis is already a great defender and rebounder and his offense has yet to really develop like it could.
ive kinda went back and forth on this topic but its just hard to give up potential for someone proven.
