Warriors sign Jeremy Lin to 2-Year Contract

by Tanner July 20, 2010

After leading Palo Alto High to a state title and Harvard to the CIT as a senior (seriously—there is an NCAA basketball tournament called the CIT and Lin lead the Crimson to it last year—hey, it was news to me, too) Jeremy Shu-How Lin will continue his basketball career with the Oakland Warriors. Lin averaged [...]

Warriors Trade C.J. Watson to Bulls for 2nd Round Pick, Trade Exception

by Tanner July 20, 2010

Larry Riley is a sign-and-trading motherfucker. For a presumably lame-duck general manager, you can’t say Riley is going down quietly. Trading Watson was the 4th trade the Warriors have made this offseason. As part of the deal Watson signed a 3 year contract with the Bulls worth about $10 million. This is a good deal [...]

Las Vegas Summer League: Game 5

by Tanner July 15, 2010

I didn’t watch this one b/c I was too busy jumping up and down and pouring champagne on my head celebrating the sale of the team.

Warriors Sold: Iron Man Sheds Iron Tears

by Tanner July 15, 2010

Finally. July 15th, 2010 is a day that will live in…what’s the opposite of infamy? Famy? Awesomeness? Whatever it is, this day will live in that. Christoper J. Cohan sold the Warriors today, for the nifty lil sum of $460 million, which I think is also what Erick Dampier has made in his career. The [...]

Well, boys, I’ve found the bottom. I’ve been in dive bars all over this great expanse and this one is officially, undeniably, almost unbelievably, the lowest. What hits you first is the smell. You don’t see it coming. You step inside from the half artisinal, half Disney confines of Jack London Square and you’re hit [...]

Las Vegas Summer League: Game 4

by Tanner July 14, 2010

Warriors v Heat. I’d rather watch Reggie Williams and Stephen Silas play HORSE. Williams is the only guy on the team who will ever play in the NBA. He had 23/7/5. Warriors win 72-69.

Warriors Receive $2.6 Million Trade Exception in Sign & Trade for Morrow

by Tanner July 12, 2010

Well that’s that. Anthony Morrow is a member of the New Jersey Nets. Hopefully the trade exception will be used this time, unlike the $10 million trade exception the Warriors received in the Brandan Wright/ J-Rich deal. Incredibly, Morrow set 2 NBA records while he was here: the most points ever by an undrafted player [...]

Udoh You Didn’t

by Tanner July 12, 2010

Warriors first round reach, I mean pick, Ekpe Udoh will be out about 6 months after wrist surgery. He was hurt literally on the day he signed his first contract with the Warriors, while lifting weights. Ok then.

Las Vegas Summer League: Game 3

by Tanner July 11, 2010

Warriors v Wizards. John Wall’s in town. The Warriors are starting Brian Chase and Jason Rich in the backcourt, Reggie Williams and Andre Brown up front and Kim Tillie in the middle. Deal with that shit. I really think they should turn down the arena lights and announce summer league players 1996 Chicago Bulls style. [...]
