OT: Anthony Tolliver

Polls? Oh the one I created back in September as a joke cause hoop season hadn't started yet. Lightin' up Francis. Sad thing is I know Brian Grant and he is a great guy. You need to change your name with all that anger you're spewin'!

That's cool man. I know Brian as well. I'm not sure how I'm a "fool", but let's move on.

Gotta break the new guy in, that's all!

On a somewhat related note, why does Don Nelson continue to jerk Andris Biedrins around? The guy had 11 points on 5-5 shooting, 5 REB in 2 BLK, but only got 13 minutes of playing time.

I watched some of that game... the W's were absolutely killing the Clips throughout. I don't know this as a fact, but I'd speculate that they kept him out initially because he picked up some fouls and then because he's been dinged up and they didn't really need him.

As far as Nellie "jerking him around" this year, I don't really see it. Here's his game log

dude is often limited by fouls averaging an Oden-esk 5.5 per 36 MPG. Having heard Nellie rave about him many times on local sports talk, I'm not getting my hopes up that he'll be traded to a Western rival

There's more than one source claiming the Warriors are shopping Biedrins to cut costs.

The first is today's blog from Ken Berger of CBS Sports:

"The Warriors continue to peddle Andris Biedrins (four years and $36 million left) to achieve cost-savings"

Trading Biedrins to cut costs has also been mentioned in recent articles in he San Jose Mercury News, including today's column by Tim Kawakami. This cost cutting measure is linked to rumors that Chris Cohan is trying to sell the team and dumping Biedrins' and Corey Magette's long term deals would make the team more attractive to a buyer.

Of course, these are just rumors, but it does seem Biedrins may be available for expiring contracts, young cheap talent and/or draft picks.

I still like my proposed deal of Blake, Outlaw (both expiring) and Rudy (cheap, would fit well in Nellie's system) for Biedrins. If that's not enough, I'd throw in Patty Mills and/or our lottery protected 2010 1st round pick.
