Golden State Warriors Information:
The Golden State Warriors are a professional basketball team based in Oakland, California, United States. They play in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
"Golden State" is derived from the nickname of the state of California, The Golden State, derived from the 1849 Gold Rush and California's golden hills. The Warriors and C.D. Chivas USA of Major League Soccer currently are the only major league franchises in the U.S. to exclude the name of their city, metro area, state or region from the team's name.
The 2006-07 season brings new hope the Warriors and the Warriors faithful. Fans hope that the Warriors will eventually find themselves among the NBA's elite with Don Nelson leading a healthy Baron Davis, an ever-improving Jason Richardson, and future stars Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins.
On January 17, 2007, Golden State traded Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Jr., Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod to the Indiana Pacers for forward Al Harrington, forward/guard Stephen Jackson, guard Sarunas Jasikevicius, and forward Josh Powell. This move instantly catapulted GM Chris Mullin into the approval of the entire Warriors fanbase by not only getting rid of huge financial burdens in the fan-hated Dunleavy and Murphy at the same time, but getting back players that will contribute much more to the team. Now, the Warriors seek to "run and gun" their way to the playoffs with a much more athletic and talented team. The trade also gives the Warriors good salary cap space for the future. The Warriors on January 24th won the first game with their revamped team, with encouraging play from Monta Ellis, Al Harrington, and Baron Davis against the New Jersey Nets, with a buzzer beater from Monta Ellis.
On February 5, 2007, the Warriors played the Pacers for the first time since the 8-man trade on January 17, 2007. The Warriors won 113-98, with Stephen Jackson scoring a season-high 36 points against his former team.
