I don't mind you all using avatars I have made and posted on BTA, but I wish people would ask permission first before jacking them.

First and foremost, I would like to apologize to everyone here on OTR. I just did an IP check and have found a match. The member is known as SWED (formally known as Faber). He just got suspended from BTA today and I guess this was his pathetic attempt to get back at us. I apologize to the entire staff and all the members for the problem he has caused. Things like this bother me because it shows how mindless/lifeless some people are. Not to mention, it gives my site bad rep and makes ME look bad. I'm glad this is all settled, and again, I apologize for the problems this idiot has caused.

I think it's finally safe for me to say, that the root of the problem is Don Nelson. He brainwashed the already asinine front office, got rid of GM Chris Mullin, forced out/mistreated many players (Chris Webber, Al Harrington, Jamal Crawford, Stephen Jackson, and now possibly, Monta Ellis...etc). The list goes on... I'm all for getting rid of everyone and getting expiring. To say this team is a mess is simply an understatement. Get rid of Cohan, get rid of Rowell, get rid of Don Nelson, and let the rebuilding process begin. I'm also tired of this small ball BS. Acie Law is NOT an SF. Anthony Randolph is NOT a Center. Yes, it's fun to watch, but so is winning games...

Monta Ellis after the trade: Bell brings us a great perimeter player (both on the defensive side, as well as the offensive side). The thing with Nellie is, you never know what he is going to do with the lineup. It's all about matchups for him. No one ever knows who he is going to start. MY wish however, is this: Center: Andris Biedrins | Ronny Turiaf | Mikki Moore Power Forward: Anthony Randolph | Vladimir Radmanovic | Corey Maggette Small Forward: Raja Bell | Corey Maggette Shooting Guard: Monta Ellis | Anthony Morrow Point Guard: Stephen Curry | CJ Watson | Monta Ellis Again, I bet Nellie shuffles things up and start Monta at PG and Maggette at PF. It's simply unpredictable. I am pretty sure Raja Bell WILL start though.

Beautiful deal for the Warriors. Could they have gotten more talent in return? Yes. BUT, just look at Stephen Jackson's contract, and then look at Raja Bell's + Rad Vlad's. Great job by the Warriors for losing a cancer AND a terrible, terrible contract. Surprised the mindless puppet, Larry Riley, could get something logical done.

I shall most likely run into him in the Warriors section to discuss the team's dysfunction when I come here time to time.

Many people might know me, if not...I own BTA with AL, proud affiliate of OTR. I'm a huge Golden State Warriors fan, live in the Bay Area, and love the game of basketball since I can remember. I'll be checking in here from time to time to share my thoughts on numerous things.

Glad to be affiliated Brandon. I will be checking here from time to time. You can bet AL will be here every day though.
