"Warriors! Come Out and Pra-ayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kenyon Martin. Raef Lafrentz. Never Heard of Them? What Matters is They're Talented, Inexpensive and They Just Might Make the Warriors a Contender

When I think of the Golden State Warriors, the only  word that comes to mind is: tragic.  I picked tragic because in all honesty, they're not doomed, nor are they pathetic or pitiful.  When it comes down to it, they simply sabotage themselves along with their die-hard fans faith in them.

Every year it's the same story, they're broke which means they can't pick-up name talent like Tracy McGrady or this summer's must have player: Ben Wallace.  This happens every summer because they always promise big green to "Nothing but Bust" college graduates like Mikael Petrus and Mike Dunleavy.  To be fair, it's hard to predict which college players will break it big or just break down.   Petrus was signed to a seven figure contract not long ago and all the Warriors got from him were injuries, low scoring, and a questionable work ethic.  Dunleavy is in a similar boat because he nailed an eight figure contract and has performed underwhelmingly ever since.  These aren't the Warriors only flops, just two of their biggest, which should be a wake-up call for them to sign a scout who is actually qualified to recommend college talent.  These scouts exist, both the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets have them, so the Warriors should make a serious effort of hiring these guys, or at the very least, find someone who is better at evaluating talent.
