Due to the likely departure of Chris Mullin from the Golden State Warriors, I thought it would be an appropriate time for blog site to make a transition onto another site. Please visit Warrior Works and update your bookmarks/links as necessary.
Thanks for your many hits and please join me at my new blog as we turn the page on yet another chapter in the Warriors dysfunctional history.Pointmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442004548950760062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896152158291712997.post-91750634180524772792009-04-16T16:38:00.000-07:002009-04-16T19:17:35.466-07:00NBA 2009 MOCK DRAFT 2.0Based on Final Regular Season StandingsKings - Ricky RubioWizards (t) - Blake GriffinClippers (t) - Jordan HillThunder - Hasheem ThabeetGrizzlies - James HardenTimberwolves - Brandon JenningsWarriors - Jrue HolidayKnicks - Tyreke EvansRaptors - DeMar DeRozanBucks - Earl ClarkNets - Stephen CurryBobcats - Craig BrackinsPacers - Jonny FlynnSuns - Terrence WilliamsPistons - Ty LawsonBulls (t) - Pointmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442004548950760062noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896152158291712997.post-85103592003708193172009-04-10T11:35:00.000-07:002009-04-10T11:49:30.187-07:00POLL RESULTS: GRIFFIN VS.

Rubio is already a star in Europe at the young age of 18. Blake Griffin has the makings of a star, but is a PF, a position easier to fill. Players with Griffin's attributes are less scarce. The Warriors biggest area of need is PG.
