Warriors reach agreement with Maggette

People are grousing about too many 2's and 3's with Maggette coming on-board, but as I wrote in another post, I don't think Mullin's done, plus Nelson doesn't believe in traditional line-ups all the time (he'll put more small guys on the court than most). They're also working on getting Turiaf (I think that will happen, I doubt LA will re-sign him with Bynum coming back), who would be a good fit with both the style of play and the W's need for some beef up-front. I think Mullin's going to try to move Harrington for a true point (I'd love for it to be either Felton or Conley, maybe Hinrich), leaving the Warriors with the following very competitive (and extremely young, ready to improve) team:

  First line: Felton/Conley, Ellis, Jackson, Maggette, Wright, Turiaf, Biedrins

  Second group: Belinelli, Azubuike (if he stays), Randolph, Hendrix

Anybody want to play that team when they could have multiple monsters all around the age of 25 in a couple of years? I think that's what Mullin's going for - let Boston and LA fight it out for the next couple of years, then blow them away with a growing base of young stars.

I am still sore, and will admit it, that he opted out at the last minute, basically ensuring that the Warriors couldn't use the exemption to help fill his void. (Not that they couldn't have used it for something else, but I digress......). But I think they're bouncing back just fine without touching the real nucleus / future of the team.
