I can't see us trading away either Davis or Fisher anytime soon... Baron is being rapidly transformed into the face of the Warriors and Derek Fisher won't be dished away in any fashion other than to even the contract salaries in another trade (such as a Troy Murphy trade). "Trading one away" is a lot harder than it sounds...

Yeah we do. Baron Davis is a true point guard. The fact that he can score shouldn't scare critics away from his pure playmaking skills. Make no mistake, Baron's a pass-first point guard. It's just that some people have a hard time seeing it because he tends to take the game into his own hands once his team starts going down the tubes.

It kinda looks like Monta Ellis will... Even though his skills seem quite developed, he was a raw high school kid who still has a lot to learn about his role in the NBA (namely, being a point guard).
