Warriors receive young stars
Prince, McDyess, Frye new Warriors....



In massive news just released from the GSW HQ, the Warriors have just been involved in two trades. New GM John Williamson was believed to be the brains behind each trade. In the first trade that was put through earlier this afternoon the Warriors received New York Knicks rookie Channing Frye, in exchange for 2 future first round draft picks.

"I am not angry or disapointed in any way, it just shakes up my whole preseason being traded so close to the first game. I am excited to be a Warrior, it will be a hell of a lot of fun playing alongside Baron and Richardson" said Frye shortly after being traded.

In the second trade, the one which will have people talking for the next few weeks the Warriors were involved in a 6 man trade which was rumored to be just to snare Tayshaun Prince to the team. The Warriors lose young forward Troy Murphy, long term starter Mike Dunleavy and young centre Andries Biedrins to Detroit. Along with Prince, the Warriors also receive veteran forward Antonio McDyess and guard Devin Ham.

"I'm ecstatic to be picked up by the Warriors, this is a team that has recruited well over the past few years and to be a part of it is extremly exciting. I know in Detroit we were an extremly strong team, however its going to be like starting all over again here in Golden State. Playing alongside Richardson, Davies and now Frye also is going to be exciting" said Prince after being picked up by the Warriors.

The Warriors 2005-2006 release to the public has been put back 24 hours to coincide with the massive trade. However here is a sneak peek at the expected starting five with all new players to date included.
