    Stephanie dosent have the required skill set to carry a team like a Harden , Lebron and even Luka. They are elite playmakers and in Hardens case elite playmaker/all time great scorer. Steph is just a great scorer. A average playmaker

    Damn, were we too aggressive thinking he could get GS to the playoffs? They are currently only at .500. Should we have asked can he get them to a winning record?

    You were too high on his supporting cast. It's like I've been saying all along....the Warriors have a terrible supporting cast around Curry.

    I’m still high on his supporting cast, as far as it’s enough support to help someone get to the playoffs. I have no doubts that Harden, LeBron, Durant (if healthy) and others wouldn’t be sitting at .500 with these guys.

    Should change the thread title to "Can Steph even carry a team to a playoff berth"?

    Not sure why you think that. Objectively, it's a terrible supporting cast, and given that Curry unlocks Draymond Green's "playmaking", it'd be even worse if Curry were replaced with Lebron, Durant, or Harden.

    Harden would have this current warriors in the 5 or 6 seed at worst. It is what it is. We’ll see what harden does in the playoffs with a great team like Steph had regularly over the years in the playoffs.

    Harden doesn't need to "unlock" anyone else's playmaking b/c he's the ultimate playmaker himself.

    And that's just something Steph isn't capable of.

    Yeah, in his SIXTEENTH season, when he had more mileage on his body than almost everyone in league history at that point. Curry just had a tank break.

    Do you honestly think Draymond Green would be more productive alongside Harden than with Curry?

    Wiseman, Wiggins, and Oubre would absolutely be more productive playing with Harden. Along with the rest of their role players.

    That's what I do know.

    Sounds like you haven't watched many Warriors games this year. You're not aware of how underwhelming Oubre and Wiseman have been.

    Let me know if you want to have an actual discussion. If not, I'm more than happy to trade insults. You're an idiot.
