After this trade the Warriors will have 18 player they could package 4 of them and send the away for draft picks or one player in return.

they would have to chose between Brown, Bowen, Ely, and Marks because they can only have 3 of the 4

Why would the warriors trade a really cheap player who gives you 13-15pts a game for 3rd string trash again? LOL..warriors arent desperate to get rid of azubuike and william's contract. If you think warriors have too many guards, which they do, they'd just put williams, demarcus, and kurz on inactive list or cut them instead of sending a part time starter away. and you got the depth chart all wrong. its this or should be this when everyone is healthy

ellis/cj/crawford/demarcus/williams
belinelli/azubuike/morrow
jackson/maggette
wright/randolph/kurz
andris/turiaf

There is ZERO incentive for the Warriors to make this deal.

[don nelson]

This trade offer is another good example of how no trade is better than this trade because the Warriors are required to give up a very productive rotation player who is a part time starter on a cheap contract in Azubuike for a bunch of players who at best would only suit up for Warrior games in coats and ties until their contracts expire. Their basketball futures lie overseas.

"The Warriors would have 18 players and........"

Whoa Nellie.....you CAN NOT have 18 players. You MUST waive enough players in advance to accomodate the incoming stuff. Hendrix is already lost and nothing we get it notably berrer than who we have to waive. So.....you casually mention "pick or picks" with nothing at all definite. WTF....A rd 1 would be the only incentive GSW might have....and even then....The Hornet pick is probably too low,in a weak draft,to even replace Azubuike,let alone account for the mess from having to cut some guys just to bring in 4 temps......including one I think we cut a couple years ago. However...this deal does not say Hornet's 09 #1-no protect....so I'm not assuming even that.

Safe to say...it's a no. GSW can't give a West rival CHARITY and hope to move up someday. Here...Hornets get a starter and GSW gets smacked around and dumped on the roadside. Pass.
