They won't trade a big name like Cousins, but I wouldn't be surprised if they keep trying to play like the warriors even without the same type of players.

That could be the straw the broke Malone's back. I hope that isn't the particular straw that did it, because that means the next move is a Josh Smith trade.

in that case its more him wanting to leave, and with his reduced numbers (FO are all stats guys after all) they then trade him...
Obviously this is a negative outlook when infact everything might improve now with a new coach.

Grant is very upset right now. He's pretty emotional about this.

Cousins is loyal to the team so as long as we continue to develop and improve, he will get over it. But if we start losing and going back into the bottom 5 teams of the league again, then I can see a domino effect.

Sacramento owner Vivek Ranadive is very intrigued with coaching candidacy of Chris Mullin, league sources tell Yahoo. Mullin's a factor.
This makes me sick

I hope not, and what I said originally was just hypothetical. But then again, Vivek and pete kind of lives in their own world with this warriors 2.0 thing.
I wonder how much does it have to do with Chris Mullin being in Vivek's ears all day long. How can you ever think rationally if you surround yourself with personnel from the warriors left and right?

Maybe Grant knows he will be axed next and will go out in full glory.

I'm trying to take everything with a grain of salt right now since I'm sure tension is high, but if this comes to fruition and we somehow find ourselves in some future where Cousins walks and our best player is Jason Thompson, then I'm giving up on this team. It's one thing to root for a bad team. I can do that, I've done it for almost a decade. But I'm not going to root for a team that's being managed to the ground by any rich guy with no basketball sense.

What would be worse, Chris Mullin as head coach or Vinny Del Negro as head coach?

I typed my Mullin response before seeing this. We've read chatter all morning about the job being Mullin's if he wants it. This is just another strike on Vivek/Pete if this happens.
It seems vivek really wanted to own the Warriors but couldn't become the majority owner so he is desperate to follow every move that the warriors make.
First its trying to play position-less basketball at all cost, hiring a bunch of ex Warriors FO guys, then its going after the same FOs as the warriors.
Now lets give our coaching job to another ex NBA shooter who has no experience coaching and hope it works out like the warriors.
For those that are watching the interviews and listening to the coverage, has any media people called out Vivek/Pete for trying to copy the warriros yet?

A lot of other announcers around the country actually respects Grant. So it would be another bad move.

Please do so. Tell him just as straight to the point as it can be.

I gotta say, I have been around since about 2002-2003 and I went through the ups and downs, but this would be the last straw. I cannot tolerate a man like Vivek (in other words, a liar), who states he hires people smarter than him, but secretly believes he is the smartest period. Recipe for disaster with an owner like this. I hate the way this was handled, even if we get George Karl (the best available IMO), but if Mullins gets the job, then suffice it to say we will never reach relevancy again/contend. If anything, hire the man that has 1000+ wins already, that way I can at least sleep at night knowing we aren't completely doomed. PDA has no clue what he is doing, Vivek even less so. Being an owner does not equal knowledge of basketball, and neither does coaching your daughter's basketball team when she was 10.
I am going to enjoy when the team quits putting forth 100% effort, because nothing else will make them realize how much of a joke we are right now. You know what? I wouldn't even blame the players if they do. I wouldn't play for an office that is unprofessional, disloyal, and filled with liars. And I wasn't even that big of a fan of Malone's. I just detest folks that say one thing.... and then do the exact opposite. Malone probably did too, which is why he is gone.

I wonder what advice has Mullin given vivek this whole time.
Mullin- "My best advice, fire Malone and hire me"
