Chocolate Rain 2: Escape from New York.
Undoubtedly, the Warriors latest addition, Jamal Crawford, is a scorer. Demonstrated well by the above 52-point game against the Heat last January. He may be softer on defense then we’d like, but rain, he can make that.
We all liked TMNT (aka. Al Harrington), he was a good guy and a good player. But things went sideways and a trade demand was made. While it’s unclear how exactly Crawford fits into the Warriors rotation (or who won’t be fitting now), I think the overall net is a positive one for Oakland.
Don Nelson seems to be bullish about the acquisition of the “tweener” guard:
I guess we’ll know more when he suits up with the team – which I believe is set for next week’s contest against the Washington Wizards.
Gd.
PS. In other player movement today, B-Dizzle’s Clips just traded for Z-Bo. Um… I’m not feeling that move.
I don’t think we can possibly be done trading. There has to be more, right? I can’t imagine that Don Nelson isn’t still looking for the PF who can shoot threes, or a true PG. Also, Rowell and Cohan are too fiscally conservative to have that much salary and potentially go over the cap in two years for this group of players - no way.

I actually this trade. Nellie gets to do his smallball thing leaving them a lineup that’s big in the backcourt and small underneath. The Dubs would get killed by the better PF’s and still win by outscoring teams from the perimeter. I’ll really like this trade when Monta returns and Crawford goes into a sixth man kind of role. He’s a streak shooter’s streak shooter who doesn’t rebound well. You need a PF in the west and the Warriors still don’t have one. Kind of makes you wish you had Donnie Walsh working for you…
