Trading Richmond for Owens isn't what finally killed the Warriors. It was the sign-and-trade of Chris Webber for Tom Gugliotta that did them in. C'mon!

"The Warriors are the only major professional sports league franchise to exclude the legal name of their city or state from the team's name." Is this true? What about the New England Patriots?

[edit] Mullin not General Manager

He may act like it, but Rod Higgins actually is, so I'm changing it.

[edit] Not To Be Forgotten?

Some players listed are still on the team, so...how could they be forgotten if they are actively playing on the Warriors? I am removing the current Warriors from the NTBF list.

[edit] Not really busts

For their draft positions, Vonteego Cummings and especially Chris Porter were not really busts. Porter played pretty decently when he was with the team, and he was the 4th to last guy drafted! I'm removing those two from the list, replacing them instead with Steve Logan.

[edit] "Nothing in return"

It's sort of cheating to list both Jamison and Carter on the "nothing in return" list. Contrary to what the general public seems to believe, the Jamison-Carter trade was planned before the draft, so the Warriors never could have had Carter anyway. Even if they could have kept him, the team did get Jamison, which wasn't a complete waste. I am removing Vince from the list.

[edit] Mark Price

Price was signed when Dave Twardzik was still GM. I'm removing him from the St. Jean section.

[edit] Overall cleanup

The article was suffering from a severe case of stilted language caused by multiple authorship, so I went through and cleaned it up a little. I hope the improvement is noticeable.


[edit] outlandish foyle comments

i had to tighten that up. adonal is #57 all-time. not one of the best, except by a stretch. i inserted "excellent" and emphasized his off-court work, which is what he is most known for.24.92.254.51 03:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dajuan Wagner

Actually, he played in 1 game during the regular season (2006) and scored 4 points.
