The Warriors’ $206 Million Summer

It was announced today that the Golden State Warriors intend to retain the services of Latvian center, believed to be seriously considering a Childress-type move to the Euro leagues, after making a 6 year, $63 million offer. Add that to the $67 million for Monta Ellis, $50 million for Corey Maggette, $17 million for Ronny Turiaf, $9 matching offer to keep Kelenna Azubuike, and the trade that brought in Marcus Williams, and we’re looking at a $206 million+ offseason for the Golden State Warriors. And despite all that cash, most people will probably deem it a move backwards because of the loss of Baron Davis.
