  • String them together: Can the Warrior’s string together two good wins at home and ride the emotional high of the Heat win or will they have a let down?
  • Dwight Howard: In Howard’s only appearance in Oakland will the big guy go off?  Sorry folks but the Warriors are not going to pick him up in a trade.
  • W’s Big Men:  A HUGE question mark now that Kwame Brown is out. Can Biedrins stay on the floor for more than 20 minutes or will fouls or injury limit him?  Can the Warriors stay within 80% of Orlando on the boards.  I imagine they have to if they are going to win.

Two ex-Warriors get traded for eachother

In a trade between the Orlando Magic and the Phoenix Suns, Jason Richardson and Mickael Pietrus got traded for each other.

The trade returns former Magic star Hedo Turkoglu, along with Jason Richardson and Earl Clark, to Orlando in exchange for Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus, a 2011 first-round pick and cash considerations.

Orlando, losers of five of its last six games, is also close to acquiring Arenas for Rashard Lewis, sources said.

This trade seems to make Orlando better immediately and Phoenix better in the long-term as they get first round draft pick, and maybe some long-term salary relief, but I am not quite sure on that one yet until the cash considerations are released.

Do you see any trades of current Warriors on the docket?
