The Warriors aren't my team, no, I support the Lakers and most of all Kobe, however I will say this much.

I'm sad today. While I was pulling for the Spurs (only because they have a better chance against the Heat), it doesn't take away from the Warriors being one of the most entertaining and explosive teams in the playoffs this entire year. The games were hard fought, the team was underrated, and the coaching was just spectacular. I love how much class the Warriors have for their fans and I wish them the best gearing into the future.

It's a team I have nothing bad to say about. What an awesome team and because they're so young, there's no where to go but up from this point on-wards.

Amazing series to all the Warriors fans out there. This team was exceptional, I've been tuned into every game and it was like seeing a team grow up in these playoffs right before your very eyes on national television. It was a spectacular run and no one can take that away from them.

Thanks, and I agree. I can only hope it wasn't a Cinderella season, because while they showed a lot of greatness, some flaws were also exposed (or perhaps I was expecting too much). The starting five should all be back next season, so hopefully the Dubs will be a legitimate threat for years to come. One thing about Warriors fans, we love our team no matter what happens.

Warriors fans should be excited, I hadn't even THOUGHT about them in 20 years.

Now with new ownership, they might have a shot....they'd been as badly run as the Knicks for a loooooong time.

DLee will be back at full strength and hopefully Bogut and Curry will be at 100% again. In addition, they'll have Brandon Rush, their defensive specialist, back from his injuries as well. Jack might not be on the team, however.

Landry has a player option and might not be back, though I'd take him over Jack with Rush coming back. Jackson doesn't use Landry enough though, so I don't blame him if he goes elsewhere.

Yes, I like Landry over Jack as well ... but they need a backup PG if Jack is gone.

They have a solid young nucleus, with several Western teams going through transition they're poised to make some noise in the coming seasons provided they can keep the team together.....

True, but I think they can go cheap there, since Curry is holding up better now compared to previous seasons and will likely put in a solid 40 minutes every game. Rush can spell Thompson (who still needs a lot of work) and Landry can relieve Lee/Barnes.

I think Barnes is more of a 3 than a 4. They should amnesty Biedrins' $9M (or Jefferson's $11M? not sure how long he's been there)

They can't amnesty anyone; they wasted it on someone who was due to make $4m last season (can't even remember who) instead of Biedrens....the only truly bad decision the Lacob ownership has made yet. So yeah, Beidrens + Jefferson = $20m wasted next season. Thankfully they'll both be gone after 2014.
