Early Summer League Success

The Warriors have won each of their first two Summer League games, first beating the Philadelphia 76ers and then the Dallas Mavericks. In the first game, Anthony Randolph led all scorers with 30 points and grabbed 8 rebounds to go with it. In the second game, Marco Belinelli led all scorers with 25 points. The Detroit Pistons are the only other team with a 2-0 record to start the Summer League. What do you think of the early Summer League success from the Warriors? Comment with your ideas.

Warriors Summer Camp

The Warriors have announced their Summer League roster. The 14 man roster includes five Warrior players (Brandan Wright, Marco Belinelli, C.J. Watson, Anthony Randolph and Richard Hendrix) and nine non-roster invites (the last non-roster invite to make the team was Matt Barnes two years ago). The team will play a total of nine games, five in Las Vegas led by assistant coach Keith Smart and four in Salt Lake City led by shooting coach Sidney Moncrief. Do you think the Warriors find an under the radar star like Matt Barnes two years ago? Do you think that the Warriors have sent the right players to the Summer League. Comment with your ideas.

Baron Opts Out, Signs With Clippers

At the last minute the Warriors were told by Baron Davis' agent that he would be opting out of the final year on his contract (where he would be earning almost 18-million dollars). Just a day later, Baron signed a five-year 65-million doller contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. Why do you think Davis did this? Do you think he was upset with Don Nelson or do you think he just wanted a long term deal? Comment with your ideas.
