    Reports seem to incline towards a Warrior tank to protect it's Lotto7 pick. Might young Mr Ankle Curry be a good Rock? Lowry wouldn't play for many W's losses, but will be ready for their '12-'13 run. Is there a deal to be made?
    W's have been heard to like Luis. Is something workable by the Bay? I'm just askin'. :confused:

    Just my opinion - no deal to be made there. Curry is very much in their plans.

    I like that they could screw Utah over though :)

    Yes we need to root for Warrior opponents to screw over the j*zz

    Top 7 gets them a lot of ping pong balls, and a good PG ready for their return to relevancy.

    Gee, Jazz getting screwed. That just feels right, eh? :p

    IMO, I believe this a very risky addition by subtraction deal for the Warriors. They obviously believe in Klay Thompson as the starting SG going forward, and they are said to think they can flip Stephen Jackson before the trade deadline. I have my doubts about that. Also Bogut is a very high risk move, but I actually wanted the Rockets to take that risk myself.

    You really cant blame them for pulling the trigor, but they are probably thinking that Curry/Thompson is their backcourt of the future and want to get bigs to build around that tandem next year. I applaud the GSW for showing some balls, but I hope it doesn't work out for them so they arent another team that laps Houston next season.

    Next season they (theoretically, anyway) add a healthy (sic) Top 5 center and Top 7 draft pick; Klay is a year older in the Association. They could be tough.

    To ensure Top 7 Lowry/Curry makes a great deal of sense for GSW; SJax/Scola + incentives from GSW to Rox is a closer, I would think. But what thinketh Lacob & Les?

    I'll take Lowry over Curry, thanks.

    Steph's rolled the same ankle like 6 or 7 times. At this point, he's just unlucky.

    Heh, yeah, took me a second to understand, too... Sounded like xiki was trying a little too hard to sound cool and/or save time with some of that silly lingo and those abbreviations. I mean "the W's"? Really???


    ... Anyways, to reiterate, trading Lowry for Curry is an utterly worthless (at best) move. At worst, it makes us a tangibly worse.

    No, bad luck is stepping on a nail. That ankle is just weak. It's not just some unfortunate, random coincidence that he keeps spraining the same ankle.
