warriors fan with some questions 

Post#1 » by upside » Sun Feb 17, 2008 8:24 pm

Hey guys, there are some rumors swirling around about the warriors and bucks making a deal.

Something like Pietrus and POB for Villaneuva and filler. What's the deal with you guys giving up on Villaneuva? Is it because Yi is playing well or Villanueva is unmotivated? What's his deal?

I feel like Pietrus is a pretty good player if you play him at the 3, Don Nelson for some reason plays him exclusively at the 4 which is idiotic but whatever. He's a pretty good roleplayer and I think he benefits playing next to bigger guys to where his focus is just perimeter defense and shooting those corner three's. Makes a lot of mistakes, very volatile, one night he is money and the next makes you want to pull your hair out if you don't keep him on a tight leash.

POB is an odd case. He's kinda soft but has talent. Don Nelson literally never plays him but I think he could be a solid center, good passing skills and has a nice sky hook. Very big guy with a long reach. Still very much of a question mark because warriors fans have only seen him about 48 minutes work throughout his career. His main problem is getting tougher and not worrying about his skillset.

I think Villaneuva is kinda soft but with his shooting touch, I think he's be a great fit in a Don Nelson offense. I personally hope the trade goes down.

CV plays when he wants to play. When he starts he's happy. When he comes off the bench he pouts. He plays no defense and loves the perimeter.

If this is the trade then I would be pretty excited.

I suppose it all depends on Kohl's physical attraction to the players involved.

You could ask this same question to anyone who ever had CV on their team, be it high school, college, or Toronto. Get the drift?

I'd do that deal.

Also - what's your source on these "rumors"?

Apparently it was circling some of the radio stations in Milwaukee. Again, I'm not here to guarantee anything but after I heard the rumor I wanted to find the 411 on Villanueva because I thought he had a solid rookie year and haven't seen much of him since.

I herd that like a day or two ago. That would be a nice trade for us! I'd take it in a flash! It would work out for you guys cause CV would be a good fit in that offense Don runs. Like someone stated he has the the image to play when he wants but seems like a good guy overall.

I hope that happens!

Wait. This is BS for one reason. The only time radio stations in Milwaukee talk about the Bucks is when they get pissed off at ownership (which is why we're getting much more Bucks talk lately. :wink: )

CV had the warriors listed as teams he was rumored to potentially go to in his blog post on being moved. Pietrus also is a guy the bucks could use, and POB may help out if we could trade gadzuric somehow. However, this isn't the greatest trade unless we can dump Simmons and/or gadzuric, but if we could then it'd be a huge help.

I'm not sure about the legitimacy of this rumor though, as everything being reported from ownership on down suggests we're not going to make a move. Especially considering CV is a Kohl favorite, I doubt this goes down considering how screwed up our franchise is right now.

We definitely need alot more than just this move to get anyone excited about Bucks basketball.

I actually really like POB. Kid has great size and length and some legitimate skills. The only thing is that the Ws didn't pick up his option for some reason, so he's a free agent after the season.

The filler is Michael Ruffin. Apparently they were talking about picks too.

I'm guessing since your draft pick is going to be high (no offense) and your team is looking to rebuild, there is no way you are giving up picks so it would be you getting the warriors pick. This part about the pick was my two cents.

Makes sense to me given that CV has a year left on his rookie deal while POB has been bolted to the bench and both he and Pietrus expire after the season. Are you sure you guys don't want Gadz?
