Yeah, I’d say they’re worth a little over $300 million based on the market they are in. I wouldn’t mind an owner that mirrors Cuban. He’s one of my favorites in the league, sucking up fines just to let the refs and the league know that he only cares about the Mavs winning… I think if Ellison does it, it’s because he likes the team/area, and wants to give back to the NorCal area where he built his dynasty/Oracle…

chappy 81 On assessment about how much are the Warriors worth ? In excess of $300 million would you say or less ? Alan Parkins

chappy I think that should a guy like Larry Ellison purchase the Warriors then the fans and players alike would be in for one or two big surprises. He's an ambitious guy who likes to win and 'win big'. That's the credo he lives and that's why he's been an immense success in the business world and in the sport of yachting and the America's Cup. He's in a similar vein to Mark Cuban of the Mavericks but nowhere near as obnoxious in that regard. Alan Parkins

AP,

We’ve given up on championship hopes a long time ago. Making it to the playoffs as a 7th or 8th seed consistently would be like winning championships for our franchise!

Yeah, I wouldn’t really want them to get rid of Curry, Ellis, Randolph, Biens, Azabuike, or Morrow, but if we had to lose everybody to get the team sold, I wouldn’t mind if all of them left or were traded away. I will support them no matter what too as you can tell this is one of the only negative posts I’ve put up on them, except around when I was mad at SJax! I think I read that article too on Nellie, and think it’s ridiculous that he’d rather have D-leaguers than pros. I think it was a poke at Radmonovic but still!

Le3ts,

Even thought we never got to see our team healthy roster together it feels like we are somehow worse than last season. I felt like last year we were terrible, and would get better with the young guys getting a little experience. If we end up in the lottery getting Demarcus, hopefully it doesn’t give Cohan another reason to stay!

Damn, I hate my Warriors, but I LOVE them too. It sucks how the organization does not do what is best for us. It is very upsetting to see loyal fans (for years) support this terrible organization for years. Anywho, i don’t want to write a whole lot becuase i will just, “go off” (i do get heated when my warriors are a topic).
But yes, Ellis should by the organization (oh please), Demarcus Cousins, IMO would be a great NBA player, and i would love to have him as a warriror, and letting go Chris Mullin was sooo stupid! GET NELLIE and COHAN OUT OF HERE!

By Ellison is a shrewd enough businessman that he knows a good thing when he sees it. He hasn't amassed that fortune and built up Oracle the way that he has through stupidity. What he may well do is to get rid of the 'dead weight' on the roster as well as in the front office. Alan Parkins

Good piece Chappy!

We’re on the same boat with this one on numerous levels except one. If Ellison does some how buy the Warriors, I would beg of him to keep our man crush Curry on board. I really love everything about his game, and I hope that he keeps that game in the bay.

Other than that … spot on in terms of representing the majority of Warriors fans. What the hell was up with cutting Claxton’s contract? I can’t even begin to explain how upsetting that was for me. That solidifies the fact that our owners do NOT care about winning. The Dubs definitely had an opportunity come trade deadline with that one.

It’s so sad because they are taking advantage of such a great market and fan base here in the bay. It’s like the ownership knows that we’ll support our Dubs no matter what they do, or do not do in putting forth a winning team. But like you said, perhaps we’re slowly catching on, and it’s time for us to some what turn our back on our team in an effort to punish the big heads … but I personally can’t.

As far as Don Nelson … I too appreciate what he’s done for us in terms of getting us into the playoffs in 2007 … it was definitely “A Great Time Out!” during that period. But alas, his ego has got the best of him, and the welcome mat has wore out thin. I read an article that stated Don Nelson in saying he’d rather continue to have D-League call ups as oppose to a proven player via free agency because he’ll turn a 6 figure player (salary-wise) into a 7 figure player with his coaching. Wow.

Get your record and leave Nellie. Please.

chappy I know that at the start of each season each of the teams within the NBA , all strive to achieve the same goal and that's to win an NBA championship. However, in the case of the ,a href="http://nba.com/warriors/"> Warriors and their front office . I do believe for them, their main goal is nothing more than achieving a modicum of respectability and that's about it. They're not intentionally looking to go out there and embarrass themselves but seemingly that's what they tend to end up doing one way or another. Alan Parkins
