Do you think that the Golden State Warriors owner should sell the team to a new owner?

Question

Hey I wanted to ask you all if that do you think that the Warriors should sell the team to a new owner. The Warriors haven't been sucessful over the past decade and they haven't been to the playoff. I think that the owner of the Golden State Warriors should sell the team to a new owner and if they do, they can be a competive team. It has happend to other teams. EX: Clevland Cavolers owner Gordan Gund sold the CAVS to a new owner and they have become succesfull.The Dallas Mavericks have become sucessful since Mark Cubin bought the team and the Sacremento Kings have become sucessful since those goons, The Maloof Brothers bought the team. So do you think that the Golden State Warriors's owner should sell the team to a new owner?

Answer 1

The Golden State Warriors haven't been to the NBA playoffs since 1994. They won one championship, back in 1975! So, what's wrong with the Warriors? Well, we all know what's wrong with them. They're not good enough for the tough Western Conference. They have decent, quality players, but lack GREAT stars.

What's the solution? New owner, general manager, or coach?

What the Warriors really need is a NEW ARENA, not necessarily a new owner and/or management. If the only feasible way the team can achieve that is to get a new owner and/or move to a new city, then so be it.

As long as the Warriors remain in their current location in Oakland, CA, they will never get the necessary revenue needed to make significant, CONSISTENT, and SUSTAINED improvements.

A new arena will bring in more crowds, more crowds will bring in more revenue, more revenue will allow them to attract and KEEP All-Star players, and more All-Star players will draw more marketing and media attention. More ESPN, TNT, and ABC coverage means even more $$$ and THAT will keep the team on a winning path.

The Golden State Warriors need to first OUTSPEND many of teams in the Western Conference, before they can outplay them.

To conclude, the Warriors will have a greater chance of winning a championship in the future by accomplishing one or both: (1) Move to a brand new arena, OR (2) Relocate to the Eastern Conference.

Answer 2

Nope, the warriors have no place to go but up. They made some GREAT trades to get key players like Baron Davis, Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson. Also bringing back Don Nelson to the Warriors staff was a good move. If only the Warriors can stay healthy, they'll be a playoff contender. Look how good the team played against the Detroit Pistons last night, i believe that was the first time they played with all their key players (Baron, J-Rich, Jackson, Harrington, Monta, Pietrus, Biedrins)

Answer 3

No. I believe they have great players and they have made excellent trades for the team, its just that we can't have everyone healthy. Imagine the starting five: Davis, Richardson, Biedrins, Jackson, Harrington with Ellis coming off the bench. That would be a killer starting 5. But do I keep wondering if its good to keep Davis around because seriously, he is hurt 1/2 the season every season. Whats up with Foyle contract though, I think he has been a bad sign I mean c'mon that guy barely plays.

Answer 4

No, i don't think its the ownership. The Warriors are just lost when it comes to what direction they want to go. One minute they are working towards a title, the next they are going the rebuilding stage. One minute they have a team that is made up of all stars, the next minute, they have a bunch of rookies with potential. They also don't know what talent is or how to use them. I think you have to start with the GM if anything. Have you seen all the players that have become superstars since they left? The Warriors are fine in Oakland...its their front office that needs work.

Answer 5

its like this, the Warriors have always been a pretty hard luck team...Ive been watching them play since my neighbor's cousin played for its last title team (George Johnson...the Barry, Smith, Wilkes, Williams etc team...)and they get big men, Parrish and others, and aren't playing in the proper scheme, I remember chief always out of position shooting jumpers rather than playing in the middle, therefore getting in foul trouble...he went to Boston, they kept him in the middle, he flourished...and that's just one example...for a long time Nellie had the team and always had good guard play and at least one forward who could go...but no big man...therefore they got beat on the boards...an exciting team to watch run, and always scoring a lot of points, but not winning lots of games...in recent times it doesn't help either that the west is so strong, and their division is murder...none of these things have to do with ownership, more so with GM , coaching moves, or player demands...moving to a new building wont necessarily help matters either, they need some luck (witness all the injuries this year) and some time for them all to play together...(playing in the east wouldnt hurt...ok ok ok , just kidding (not)) oh and just so you understand...when Gund had the team they were a playoff team at one time, losing to MJs Bulls in the playoffs...they dont have any better of a team now than they did then, they arent made well enough now to win the East or a title...and last I looked the Kings havent won anything either...the Mavs are just now making noise because 'the little general' is the coach and has them playing defense...

Answer 6

wow, people who dont know about the warriors, SHOULD NOT comment on this. i saw one post blaming mullin for the loss of jamison, hughes etc... except that mullin wasnt around then. what an idiot. that kid couldnt even spell. its taft and diogu. and its not mullins fault tafts back gave up on him and diogu is a pretty good player, still young but will be an allstar in the future. and i guess mullin is a crappy GM for bringing in baron davis, andris biedrins, and monta ellis too huh? what an idiot. im not saying mullin is a graet GM, he has had his fair share of screw ups, but hes new at this and is learning. the things he messed up on is giving troy and mike those ridiculous contracts. and foyles too.
roland is an idiot too. warriors fan base is great, one of the tops in the league, they were top 10 in attendance last year. the bay area always has great support for their teams: giants, warriors, sharks, 9ers and raiders. that guy doesnt know sh!t.
anyway, as for your question, i dont really think the owner has to do much. if he isnt willing to pay the lux tax in order to keep monta or andris, then yes he is a horrible owner. but if he is, then hes a good one. i would love to have cuban as an owner because he cares and loves his team and it shows. i wish more owners were actually into basketball instead of just counting money.

Answer 7

the kind of have to...they can get a new owner or get rid of Mullen..

Look at the warriors..they lost arenas,jamison,hughes,webber and vince carter..that would have been a good team and right now in 07...they wouldn't even struggle for the last spot....

And the draft picks...the owner must be pissed to have mullen get a crappy guy like chris talf and ike diagu...and then they traded murphy and dunlevey....they do good afterwards...

So yea..need a new owner or a better guy than mullen..who can't even handle anything...

Answer 8

Answer 9

yes
