He may not be as bad as Al Davis or Jerry Jones or at least let's hope not. There was no way they were going to give any coach total power. Bob Myers is a good GM.

 

That's a little much I think.

Stan Van Gundy is being offered not only the coaching position, but also the team president with full control of basketball operations.

The organization has quality people running and advising basketball operations right now. No need to ruin all that and give someone else total control.

Plus they're apparently offering him 5yr/$35mil vs what the Warrior's range which is apparently 5yr/$25-30 mil.

I have no reason not to have faith in Lacob for now. I think the team has been improving ever since he came on. Sure, Bogut hasn't turned out great with the injuries, but when the team has been at full strength they've been impressive, and certainly more complete than any Don Nelson team imo.

 

Steve Kerr, new Warriors head coach. Pretty excited about this, he has 5 rings and played in the triangle. He played under Pop and Phil.

 

also pretty stoked on this, next year will be interesting for sure. C'mon October!

 

Warriors get their ultimate yes man. Should be an improvement over Jackson overall, but still not convinced the Warriors record is going to get any better, barring a big trade(s). With the current roster the way it is, it's not going to be a top 3 team, or 55+ win team.

 

Preach!

 

Agreed, but I think they'll also bring in some more bodies. Maybe not a blockbuster trade, but surely they'll continue adding pieces to the puzzle. Next year should be very fun as a fan regardless.

Regular season record should not be counted. Even if Jackson remained as the coach, regular season record in the west should not be the indicator of improvement.

Playoffs and team performance are though. How far they go in the playoffs is simple. But how the team plays (especially against inferior teams), how the team adjusts, in game things like turnovers, dead ball offense / defense, 2nd unit rotation.

The backup PG has to be addressed. Two unrestricted FAs I would love to see here, Ramon Session and Kirk Hinrich.

 

Golden State Warriors add Klay Thompson to possible Kevin Love trade - ESPN

To make splash, Dubs must break up duo - TrueHoop Blog - ESPN

Steph, Iggy, Harrison, Love, Bogut coming off the bench K Martin, Green, Ezeli, Speights, Crawford and a true backup PG that's a better team.

 

NOpe NOpe NOpe

 

Warriors agree to sign Shaun Livingston for 3 years $16.6 million

Like the addition, as long as he can stay healthy.

 

how's their salary cap situation?

 

About $5.9m left to spend on bench players before they hit hard cap and go into luxury tax this coming season.

They will definitely be over the hard cap next year if they trade for Kevin Love or keep Klay Thompson.

 

They have a trade exception to use. I have heard they are targeting Pau with that.

As for the cap, this is one of the reasons why they want to trade for Love. They won't have to pay Klay and keep Lee.
