New Owners, New Era.

It's that time of the year again. Players are now leaving their families back home and starting to slowly return to the cities where their teams are based. This is the time when players start to get serious, when the journey for a championship ring begins. Team training camps are starting next week and in my own opinion, it's a crucial part of the season. New players are fully introduced to veterans and they start to get to know each other and everyone else's style of play. Training camp is the time for everyone to get acquainted and really mesh together, because teamwork is definitely a big part of success on the court. Also, during training camp, players start working out in the gym and in the weight room again, building their muscles, getting faster, working on their weaknesses, trying to get better and be one step ahead of the competition. 

But while other teams are starting to prepare for season, a rumor is going around that my favorite team, the Golden State Warriors, are in the process of appointing a new head coach. Last season, Don Nelson, their former coach, became the most winningest coach in NBA history with a career total of 1,335 wins on April 7, 2010. Not to mention the fact that in 2008, he led the Warriors to the playoffs for the first time in 13 years. But despite all the good things that came out of the "Nelson Era," fans and players weren't too happy with the way Don Nelson coached and dealt with people. For the past couple of years, there has been some tension around the team. Apparently, the new owners are hoping to rid the team of that awkward tension by switching it up and bumping Keith Smart, former assistant coach, to the head coach position and kicking Nelson to the curb. Hopefully, this rumor does come true, I'll be sure to keep this blog updated with that news. But with that being said, with new owners, a new logo, basically a new team and HOPEFULLY a new coach, the future is looking bright for this team that's never really gotten much respect around the league.
