If you would have watch the game you would have seen him block out great. No reb. came anywhere close to him during the 10min of play. The kid played a very good game and was very agressive. Nellie should have played him way more than 10min.Originally posted by Big MikeIs that correct.....Zero rbs in 9 minutes .....better get more aggressive! Comment

Here is the major reason the Warriors made the trade. They had a couple huge contracts - a combined $80 million in long-term deals, tied up with Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy. The 2 guys, along with Ike Diogu, were players that Chris Mullin liked, but Don Nelson did not like and didn't want. So this trade is a concession to Nelson to get rid of the players Nelson did not want in his scheme, and free up a lot of salary cap money over the next couple years.
let's quickly run through the pluses and super-pluses of this deal, which:
???‚¬?? Ended the franchise's strained, over-optimistic dreams about Dunleavy, Murphy and (to a lesser extent) Diogu. The cords had to be cut, probably should've been cut last year, and the Warriors weren't going anywhere until they did the snipping.
Let me repeat one last time: Neither Murphy nor Dunleavy can create a shot or play a speck of defense. That is not winning basketball -- in fact, in Murphy's case, it was probably losing basketball. (Worst plus/minus player on the team this season and last.)
???‚¬?? Dumped the bad deals he gave Murphy (owed $42.3 million after this season) and Dunleavy ($37.5 million after this season) without having to give up Monta Ellis or Patrick O'Bryant as enticement.
Unbelievable. The Warriors still will have a luxury-tax crush this summer when Andris Biedrins must be paid and they have to make a decision on Mickael Pietrus. But it's a lot easier after bouncing two useless players who will make a combined $17.4 million next season.
???‚¬?? Added Harrington, a combo-forward who fits Nelson's style and the Warriors' needs nicely, and Jackson, an aggressive wing player who fits Nelson's style -- though he carries massive behavioral baggage.
In summation, the Warriors save $30 million in long-term money, get better and faster immediately, break up the Murphy-Dunleavy doldrums, keep the Ellis-Biedrins kiddie corps together, make Nelson happy and recommit the Warrior Nation.
