The start of the season is rapidly approaching as training camp is less than a month away; we’re going to catch you up on all the  Warriors players and give you a look into their off-season as well as what to expect from them this up-coming season.

The Warriors signed Dorrell Wright earlier this summer to a modest deal which went under the radar around the league but might prove to be the Warriors best off-season decision.  Wright gives the Warriors a versatile player who can guard multiple positions and fit in seamlessly into their style of play under Don Nelson.

I caught up with Wright’s agent Bob Myers to talk a bit about his client’s decision to come to the Warriors, the thought process behind it and what we can expect from Wright this season.  Myers also gave us a quick report on his other client on the Warriors, newly acquired big man Dan Gadzuric.  Hit the jump and check it out.

On episode 7, Jason and I talk about Kwame Brown and whether or not he’s an under-rated or over-rated player.  We also give our top 3 over-rated/under-rated players in the league and why we feel like we do.  We sprinkle in some 49ers talk and other sports topics.  Give it a listen.

Shots are finite. Glory is infinite!

Yes, Adrian Wojnarowski has mentioned the Warriors as a potential suitor to Melo, and no, it probably won’t happen. But why would anyone want it to?

Arbiters of sports opinion have treated the Nuggets as though they are Anthony’s extension–the vehicle for his fame and legend.This whole sports industry is built on vicarious living, after all. In the moment you watch a game, you are transported from a dreary existence to another team’s ephemeral glories. But in our individualistic, celebrity-driven, modern way, it’s not enough to glom onto a collectivist triumph. One man should not just hog the credit, but in fact be the credit. So we can be that guy.

Back in 2005 Kobe Bryant was a thrill to watch in a way he just isn’t now. He owned explosiveness to pair with 35 foot fadeaway jumpers, he’d take shots that just didn’t fit in the context of professionalism. And when Kobe started rattling off fifty-point rain dances, observers couldn’t help but emotionally invest in a) his stats and b) the difficulty with which he’d get them. Continue Reading…

A billion pardons as I try and make Pirates-Warriors-NBA owners-David Stern-TV into slurpable soup.

Leaked financial documents show the anemic Pittsburgh Pirates to be simultaneously be rolling in cash and BS. Usually, I would read this type of story, shake my head at Major League Baseball, and gchat my existence down to a nub. And usually, there’s more than baseball on TV. So, extra time led me to catch this via stat-monger economist David J. Berri. DJ wrote up the Pirates situation, and followed that with a parsing of the Lacob-Kawakami interview. He summarized:

“The Warriors are similar to the Pittsburgh Pirates. But despite buying a team that hasn’t won, Lacob still expects to make money with this team. And note, he didn’t say ‘well, if we win we can be successful.’ No, he is saying that making money is almost guaranteed.” Continue Reading…

Before I die from the Concord heat, before my hair melts through the scalp and into the brain, I want you to have this arbitrary Summer content. Back in the Spring, I interviewed Curry and it was a fun experience all around. Couldn’t help but be taken aback by the surreality of this opportunity, and how it placed me on the other side of this experience. Here’s a mini time capsule. Can’t wait for real games again….
