Who Will Stop Don Nelson from Destroying the Golden State Warriors?

Days after news hitting the media about Monta Ellis wanting out in Golden State, the starting point guard spot is now in question. Reports say that Don Nelson has informed Jamal Crawford that if he does not opt out of his remaining two year contract this offseason, he will be traded.

Lets just recap the last few weeks of what Nelson has done to this team. He has ticked off Ellis, the starting shooting guard, and has him missing team photos. Then, he manages to anger the only player who has been consistent for the Warriors this year in Jamal Crawford. 

I am a die hard Warriors fan and this to me just pisses me off. Tell me why Warriors management is putting up with this? 

In the Contra Costa Times, the same article that reported Nelson giving the ultimatum to Crawford, says that management does not feel the same way as Nelson does about Crawford. 

This is perfect. We have the coach and management not on the same page. We have the coach who does not want to be here, who is only here to make money and try and get the all-time wins record. 

So how long will management put up with Nelson's antics and destroying the team?  How many players will the Warriors lose because Nelson simply does not like young talent?

With the most different starting lineups in the NBA this season, Don Nelson has managed to take a team with the most potential in the NBA to a laughing stock. I wonder if he flips coins to see who is going to start each game because he will go five to seven games without playing Marco or Anthony and then all the sudden start them for three games. 

With this season already gone by, the Warriors have BIG decisions to make this offseason. The first thing that needs to be done is fire Don Nelson, or else, say goodbye to all the talent on the roster. 

Secondly, Biedrins needs to be traded to the East because he does not have the talent to compete in the West.

If the Warriors continue on this pace this season, they are in for another lottery pick who will ride the bench for a few seasons before ever seeing the floor under Nelson.
