Before Allen Iverson had perfected the cross-over, before Jason Williams (a.k.a. White Chocolate) would throw his off the elbow pass, and even before Magic Johnson would drop his fast break no look dimes, there was Pistol Pete.

Warriors star point guard Baron Davis decided to opt out of his 1 year 17.8 million contract after claiming he would stay a week ago. The move came as a shock today since it seemed as though Davis wanted to stay with the Warriors for one more year. Rumor has it that the L.A Clippers [...]

The Golden State Warriors drafted two promising power forwards on draft day. With the Warriors first pick, the team drafted the young LSU star freshmen Anthony Randolph at #14.
