News and information on the Golden State Warriors
Depending on who you rooted for, anyone could agree that this game didn’t have much riding on as both clubs are most likely not heading into the postseason, and are destined for the lottery, but hey, a win is a win.
The Portland Trail Blazers welcomed in the Golden State Warriors for the last meeting of the season, the Blazers would be without All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge to a hip injury (more about that later), leaving J.J. Hickson to take his place in the starting lineup.
Both these teams are similar, on the outside-looking-in of the Western Conference playoff race, these two teams made some serious roster changes at the trade deadline and are looking to stir the pot further during the offseason.
While all of the focus leading up the the NBA’s March 15 trade deadline continues to be on Dwight Howard, there are other teams out there who actually serious about getting deals done.
In fact, the first big deal to transpire occurred Tuesday night when the Milwaukee Bucks traded Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson to the Golden State Warriors for forward Ekpe Udoh, center Kwame Brown and high-scoring guard Monta Ellis.
For Warriors fans, on the surface this seems like a bit of a head-scratcher.
Brain Shaw just can’t seem to catch a break.
After the former Lakers assistant head coach lost out on the head coaching gig in L.A. to Mike Brown, many figured that Shaw would land the gig up in Golden State.
Not if a head NBA analyst for ESPN has anything to say about it.
On Tuesday the Warriors announced the hiring of Mark Jackson to replace Keith Smart, giving the former point guard and television analyst his first chance to be a head coach.

Mayo to Indiana wasn’t finalized before the 3pm Eastern Time cutoff. With that being said, here is a quick list of all the important names that are currently on the move after a crazy week of trades.
