Why does the Golden State Warriors always let go of good players in their lineup, engages in bad trades?

Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison, Jason Richardson, Vince Carter (draft pick), Larry Hughes, Mitch Richmond, Chris Webber, Tim Hardaway (for Bimbo Coles), even Chris Gatling, Avery Johnson, etc. Many of these players became a star after playing for the warriors. Imagine if the warriors only retained them in their lineup. Perhaps that also explains why it took them years before they were able to earn a playoff spot again. I just hope they won't let go of Baron Davis after a season or two.

to have salary space....... but they also sucks....
Reply:team cemistry) it doesent matter to much that the players are superstars it mainly matters how good they get along on the court .If u had a team full of not great but good players that played great togeather on the court they would make the playoffs 75% of the time. Yeah those guys you said did become stars after golden state but really golden state was never a great team never could get their roster right. But the players were traded from them were often traded to good teams with good team cemistry and good rosters.
Reply:Most of those trades were made when Gary St. Jean was the GM, and you're right he was terrible. The Owners let him over-stay his welcome for way too long(6yrs of bad decison making). I think new GM(Chris Mullin) is doing a decent job, except for the crazy contract he gave Adonal Foyle. Mullin's best move was to bring back Nellie. I think the Warriors are on the right track, but just like most of the other teams in the league we need a solid Center.
