OAKLAND--The Warriors play their final game in Portland on Wednesday to wrap up the regular season and after that they can put their fans out of their misery. Warriors fans can start looking forward to the off season where the Warriors will have a very high draft pick, where Stephen Curry will win the rookie of the year. Possibly Warriors ownership will finally, finally change. This season has been lost for a long time, the Warriors have been running out lots of second and third stringers for starters out of necessity because this team has suffered though so many injuries and they made it to the end. It's very easy to say the Warriors could have given up, the guys on the floor certainly played hard every night, they didn't pout and hang their heads they went out there and tried and in a lot of cases you can look at some interesting success stories. Curry obviously and other guys like Anthony Tolliver, Anthony Morrow, and Reggie Williams. Some of these guys were actually interesting to watch night in and night out basically, their certainly not guys you don't want to build your team around, but their guys that could be very good and complimentary players going forward. The Warriors have that going for them and if they can get past this injury bug, they can get healthy and add an impact player in the draft, this team can be in position to do okay next season. This is what the Warriors look like on the court and off the court and obviously the story is whose going to buy the team from owner Chris Cohan. Everybody thinks its going to be Oracle guru Larry Ellison and there is not reason to think it will be someone else. As I have said in previous reports whose going to out bid Larry Ellison? The guy is the third richest guy in the United States and is richer than anybody else in the NBA. So again whose going to out bid him? He has more money than anyone else, so you would think he would be the odds on favorite to win a bid for Golden State considering he's interested. We won't know for a couple of months, it's always the talk and the negotiating that goes on and it's always a tough road when your going through this process and the New Jersey Nets selling to a Billionaire Russian guy that only recently got finalized and that was announced at the beginning of the season so the process will take awhile. So keep in mind the whole organization of the Warriors story is going to be a work in process from the owners negotiations to player personnel.
