From LA to the Bay..

Well it's getting hot in the Bay and I wouldn't say its due to our recent transaction's. It has hit triple digits and set heat records all across the Bay Area. The smoke continues to make our once beautiful horizon look like our cousins down south. But this is a Warriors blog so enough with the Weather. The big news is Corey Maggette and Ronny Turiaf have reportetly gone from LA to the Bay like my boy Joe Dub. Also it looks like our old friend Pietrus is shipping off to Orlando.

I think if you look at it in regards to loosing Pietrus and picking up Maggette we just upgraded. But Maggette is no Baron replacement. A J-Rich maybe but I still would take JR. For 5 years at 50mil we got a good player though. Hell we payed more then that for Dunleavy. Then comes Turiaf at 17mil over 4 years I think we got a steal on that one. He is a big body that we seriously lack. Also he brings emotion and spark. Not to mention we need a beard replacement. Obviously no Boom replacement but again a nice addition. The question still lingers though who will replace Baron? I don't think anyone will fill those shoes. I just am thankful to of lived and experienced it. I wish Baron the best of luck but deep down I was happy to see Brand and Maggette leave the Clips. Anyway we might of made some decent moves but we are still playing catch up on a serious franchise hindering loss. I love Monta but I can't see him running the floor for us. He is a better pure scorer and a dangerous option at 2G. We need a ball mover if we are going to make a showing next year. Problem is there is not many options out there and with each move we made we have less and less to spend. In a sea of negative views I am trying to maintain hope.
