On June 28, the Warriors have the ninth pick in the 2006 NBA draft. With anxiety over their drafting position now relieved, the Warriors can get down to the business of deciding who to choose with old number nine. First though, they ought to give some long, hard thought to who is going to do the deciding.

Unfortunately,the Decider is a bit preoccupied right now with his own messes, so GState's candidates for the next round of Medal of Freedom awards -- owner Chris Cohan, VP of basketball ops Chris Mullin, and GM Rod Higgins -- are going to have to handle things on their own again this year. Y'uh-oh.

Cohan is apparently dead set on supplanting Donald Sterling as the most inept owner in recent NBA history. Since becoming majority owner of the team in 1995, the Warriors have never finished above .500, have not made the playoffs once, have burned through seven head coaches, and have done jack squat with 11 straight lottery picks.
