The 2012 NBA season is going to happen and the Golden State Warriors may actually be in quite an envious position. They have 11 players under contract and are only in search of adding a piece or two. If they cannot find that defense-oriented center, then the Warriors will gladly run with the current roster plus a player or two for front court depth.

About The Golden State Warriors
The Warriors have cap space and they will create much more by setting Andris Bierdrins off to the wonderful world of free agency via the amnesty clause. General Manager Larry Riley will have to attract Nene or Tyson Chandler for that scenario to play out. New Coach Mark Jackson would appreciate the interior help as he tries to instill a desire to play defense into a roster who resemble street ball on a professional level.
The underlying development is Monta Ellis’s season. Ellis is reportedly not in the rebuilding picture. He is a scorer of unbelievable talent but lacks the defensive intensity of a star basketball player. With Curry already playing combo guard, Ellis is a highly desirable asset that is actually available. Ellis makes about as much as David Lee, yet the front office still has more confidence in Lee even though he delivered a subpar season last year. Lee is still a smooth player who could be a 15-8 guy on a good team.
Of course, the Golden State Warriors have a promising young prospect in second year power forward Ekpe Udoh. If the front office is so attached to Lee, then where does he fit in the team concept? My guess is that the Warriors will be unable to recruit its preferred big men and save the amnesty clause for next season. Then, if Jackson is able to usurp Lee with Udoh in the starting lineup by midseason, expect Lee to be freed from bondage.
This season is going to be a truly interesting experience in 2012. Everyone on the team is fighting for a place in the Warriors future, so this could be a season in which the basketball team overachieves and reaches the NBA playoffs. The TicketSpecialists have the Golden State Warriors tickets to the Oracle Arena to catch a glimpse of just what will be coming in the seasons ahead.
In May of 2009, the Golden State Warriors, much to the satisfaction of their ticket holders, decided to not renew the GM contract of Chris Mullen. Taking over the open General Manager position now is Larry Riley who turned and drafted Stephen Curry with the teams 7th lottery pick. Jamal Crawford and Marco Belinelli were both traded and the team acquired Acie Law, Speedy Claxton and Devean George. Perhaps this will be the much needed boost that this team needs to get back to winning and making the Golden State Warrior tickets worth their weight in gold.
