    Curry >>> Lowry
    Udoh < Patterson
    Thompson = Morris?

    It comes down to the centerpiece and Curry is oozing of all-star potential while Lowry is just a very good starting point guard.

    Kyle Lowry is currently better than Stephen Curry.

    Marcus Morris was the 14th pick. Great potential.

    Patrick Patterson is the guy that puts the deal over the top for the Rockets.
    His Al Horford body and midrange jumper are nasty, and what is he? 21? 22?

    Hell, Chase Budinger might be a better option than Thompson...

    He's a much bigger name than Lowry, and he has more potential.

    I love Lowry to death, but if I'm trading my superstar and planning on going through a rebuilding mode, I'd take Curry over him.

    You people thought Paul wanted to be here or that we could get him? Get outta here ;) :p

    Chasing that hot air again!

    And give up on getting Dwight while you're at it.

    And Nene? Well, he very may well stay in Denver.

    Not looking good!! Except if you were wishing for Samuel Dalembert. :p Maybe him.

    Sounds like an idiotic pipe dream and they still wouldn't even be a 50 win team.

    No he's not. I think we have a tendency of overrating our own players.

    STFU!! :mad::mad::mad:

    I'm hella pissed that Morey get's blackballed once again.

    What's the point of gathering all these assets? All it does is mess up team chemistry.

    Of all the things this team lacks... Chemistry is most certainly not on that list.

    Although I hate it Curry is valued higher over Lowry because of his ceiling, possible all star potential, and high scoring ability. Sad to say that defense is highly underrated in this league.

    Why do you think all Battier's expiring netted us was Thabeet and a 2nd rounder.

    DM is not the incompitent GM you're trying to paint him out to be with your eye-rollies over photos. :confused::rolleyes:

    Reeko is right we don't have the high draft picks of the Golden State's, last year's Nets, or even current Thunder squad that is a championship contender by sucking balls for like ever.

    I have to admit that I don't like it much from the Warriors' front, signing Tyson Chandler won't guarantee a Chris Paul extension (it was reported that such a signing would only increase the chances of that happening) and while Monte Ellis will be the best players Paul has ever played with it won't be enough to get the Warriors over the hump. They can't offer Paul the opportunity to bring in Dwight either while a team like Houston potentially could depending on how they use their cap space.

    Source adamant that Eric Gordon is NOT in Clips' offer to NO for CP3. As Yahoo! reported earlier, LAC, GSW, BOS making strongest pitches.

    If I were the Hornets, I am taking the Stephen Curry offer RIGHT NOW before they change their mind.

    Not that Curry is as good as CP or anything, but a very young likely futuer All Star is just about the best you can expect in a distressed sale.

    Curry is only 14, he has tons of time to improve.

    It just amazes me that anybody really thinks that CP3 is worth $10,000,000.00 a year more than Kyle Lowry.
    If the free agent were going to sign is that stupid to be drawn here by that then maybe we don't want him.

    I say he is. 36-46 with Monta Ellis, Dorrell Wright, David Lee and Andris Biedrins?

    Are we sure that Stephen Curry isn't a Gilbert Arenas clone at best?

    Can he play PG? Can he LEAD?

    After the trade deadline, yeah but our roster was in constant flux prior.
