From KG to Croshere

I think I'm gonna tear my hair out.

According to Janny Hu, the Warriors are pursuing free agent Austin Croshere. He's a 10-year veteran forward on the Mavs who put up 3 points and grabbed 3 boards in 11 minutes last year. Everywhere, Warriors fans are saying, "Why?"

Croshere is nothing but a Murphleavy-esque stiff-scrub who shoots 3s but doesn't do anything else. Uh, shooting 3s won't help the Warriors at all, seeing as 5 of the current 12 Warriors can hit treys with relative ease. He did not fit with the Mavericks' gameplan, let alone will he in Nellie's up-and-down style. He may have playoff experience and "veteran savvy" that could benefit the team, but in reality, all he would do is take away valuable minutes from Wright and Lasme.

The glimmer of hope is that Mullin never reveals his signing plans. As Lifelong from Golden State of Mind put it, the best we can hope for is that this is a huge smokescreen for a monumentally better player.

It's deflating for a Warriors fan to drop from a KG to a Croshere. If this is the best Mullin can do, then God save the franchise.
