A players' rebeliion in Golden State ??!!
I am shocked !!
The franchise owes its resurrection to Nellie. They didn't make the playoffs this year, but that's because the West was unusually competitive, and the Nuggets had the upper hand in the struggle for the final spot.
To be fair, yes, Davis should have played the second half of that game, but in the big picture, it probably would not have made a difference in the final result.
If the Warriors get rid of Nellie, who will step in to coach? Will Mullin try his hand at it? Avery Johnson would be a great fit for Golden State, but who knows if he is available if Chicago and other teams try for him.

I don't see Davis or Arenas as a good fit for the Lakers, a catch and shoot PG like Fisher is what they need, not someone that wants to dominate the ball.

Don't get rid of Nellie...Baron Davis will most likely not be there next year anyway. And no...he wouldn't be a good fit in a Lakers uni...maybe a Clipper but definitely not a Laker.

Has Nellie worn out his welcome already? Com'on. No way!

He was secretly hoping to get a lottery pick next year to trade for something,

Baron would fit with the Celtic too, if he would take a huge pay cut to go to a contender.

Why is it always the coaches fault? The Warriors had a chance to make the playoffs but other teams wanted it more. It's that simple.

BD should stay with the Warriors. They are a piece or two away from getting in the thick of the West race.

the experiment is over, Golden State is just another 40 win team that struggles to make the playoffs

LF | 05/16/08, 01:17 PM

Nellie, Antoni, Karl, Addelman- never will win the big one because they believe that defense is a strong offense. Until they embrace Piston/Spur type defense they will always frustrate the fan. Its like the wonderful feeling you get from eating candy and the subsequent sugar highs, only to be followed by a nasty hangover. You always remember what happens last, and who wants a hang over season after season!

sorval_kendro | 05/16/08, 01:18 PM

the LAKERS dont need him.

AND IM TALKING ABOUT BARON DAVIS.

c21 | 05/16/08, 01:24 PM

Davis to me is not an ideal point guard because he wants to create shots for himself. LA or Boston are better off without him (i dont predict an offer from either franchise anyways) The best thing for Davis is to quit cry babying and just take it like a man. The Warriors owe everything to Nellie because they lack in size and they arent the deepest team. Nellie has made them a fifty win team.

Big Mike Dizzle | 05/16/08, 01:56 PM

Nelson can come coach Toronto!!! Anyday... that is if I had any say... which I don't...so...

Tyson Allred | 05/16/08, 02:03 PM

NO, Baron would not be a good fit in Boston. We have one of the better young point guards in the league in Rondo. Baron would assassinate that team.

I also heard that Nellie benched Baron because he was hungover. Nice decision there Baron, go out and get sideways the night before the biggest game of the year. He's a loser

CeltsFan | 05/16/08, 03:50 PM

This seems to be another job where Nelson will be replaced by Avery Johnson. If I was Avery I would wait on this one.

J. HOVA: ALL FOR THE LOVE | 05/16/08, 04:38 PM

Baron Davis is definitely Clipper material. If he wants to come home to LA I don't see the Lakers taking him on.

Sad thing is I think he has a home at MSG. He just has Knick written all over him, for better or worse.

J. HOVA: ALL FOR THE LOVE | 05/16/08, 04:40 PM

That's a good point, his desire to be the man wouldn't mesh well with the Lakers. But the Clippers need a one-two-punch and a rejuvinated Baron could help pump up the big guy into waiving his opt out clause and playing for at least another year. On the flipside the west is so stacked that I'm guessing the top 6 teams or so will remain intact with a few primo players headed to teams 5 - 8. Kidd didn't work so trade Baron for Jason so that the Kidd can finish were his college days began. Just a thought.

Mr. Pete | 05/16/08, 06:09 PM

Nellie stays. Baron opts out. Mully sure could use the $17.8 million in cap room acquired from Baron leaving.

Its not the end of the world. All year long the W's were one Baron injury away from disaster. It'll be sad to see him go, but life goes on. I would put faith in Mully that he could put those dollars gained to good use.

Thugmeister | 05/16/08, 06:22 PM

These thuggish turds in the NBA always piss and moan about the coach. Let them actually try to earn their pay by playing defense, rebounding, passing, and other nuances that they deem unimportant.

TOO OLD !!! TOO BEHIND THE TIMES !!! TOO , TOO, TOO !!!
