Pg: Ellis
Sg: Bellinelli
Sf: Randolph
Pf: Wright

If the Warriors keep that team together, they'll be major contenders in the coming years.

Not really.

There's a lot of younger/better teams.

The Hornets have like 3 guys under 25 I believe, 2 of them (Armstrong and Wright) haven't proven a whole lot.

Bunch of nice young players none of them strike me as stars though, maybe Ellis but who knows if he'll develop into a good PG or stay being an under sized SG. And your gonna need stars to win titles with the amounts of talent other teams/players have i.e. Portland, Bron, Wade, D12, Paul, Lakers.

Monta is going to be a future all star, next season he should average over 20 points. He is just a terrific player. But as of the future of the Warriors, there is still a long way to go.

No Thanks...

Bunch of shooting guards with undersized forwards and centers. That team is going no where. They can't rebound, they can't defend the big man and they will never win the big games.

SF: LOL X2

:lol:

Only one of those players has shown the potential to be an All Star. Biedrins is a very good role player and will likely stay that way.

They should essentially red-shirt Randolph this year, and just have him eat protein powder by the spoonfull, and workout. Nothing else. Travel with the team, fine, but just put on 30 pounds of solid muscle, while working on his game. I like a lot of their young talent. Could be an impressive front court rotation of Biedrins, Wright, and Randolph. The biggest concern I see is it is definitely a team built for Nellie ball. If he is only around for one more year, are they hiring a coach to continue that style, or will they change it up a bit. If they change it, some of the talent could be underutilized. Overall, though, there is definite talent there. I would have considered starting the rebuild this year, giving the keys to Monta, and seeing what you can get for baron.
