That's how much the Warriors have committed this summer...did they spend it better than they did when Mullin signed Richardson, Dunleavy and Murphy, then traded them all?

It sort of looks like they've spent it in the exact same fashion, no?

Richardson, supposed to be the franchise player and perimeter scorer = Monta Ellis

Dunleavy, supposed to be the versatile forward and wingman = Corey Maggette

Murphy, supposed to be the versatile bruiser down low = Andris Biedrins

The different this year, though, is the addition of Turiaf and Azubuike as nice pieces off the bench sort of give you insurance for these guys if things don't quite go as planned.

Also, Ellis is better than Richardson, Mags is WAY better than Dunleavy and Biedrins is better than Murphy.
