What do you think the Warriors would of been like if Richardson would of been traded in the draft, do you think the Warriors would be better or worse think about it, no slam dunk championships would go to goldenstate, no rookie mvp title would go to goldenstate, what would of happened to The Goldenstate Warriors if Jason Richardson never was.

Er... not much. JRich ain't no superstar, and the Warriors aren't an elite team. Who cares about a slam dunk title and a rookie game mvp? You talk about the awards for a week at your school/work and then forget all about it.

Damn bro. Way to hate on the guy's love for JRich and the Warriors.

Let's see... JRich was drafted #5 overall in '01. Now if JRich "never was," then one scenario might have GS drafting Shane Battier who actually went #6 overall to the Grizz. The Warriors at the time had Jamison playing SF and Fortson playing PF, so if Battier actually came to GS then Jamison would slide to the PF, which he preferred, and Fortson would have been the back up 4. The starting 5 could have looked like this:

C Dampier
PF Jamison
SF Battier
SG Hughes
PG Blaylock

Hmmm... not bad. Of course, the entire draft would have came out different and GS may never have gotten Murphy and Arenas.

Other guys to come out of that draft class were Joe Johnson, Richard Jefferson, and Tony Parker among others. The possible scenarios and their reprecussions are endless. But my head is starting to hurt now from all this thinking so i'm just gonna say that i'm glad that Jason Richardson "was and is."
