    put Curry on the Rocket (he is a shooting guard) and put Harden on GS and I don't know that the Rockets make the playoffs. Golden State would have a better record than the Clips. Pure conjecture of course. I like Harden, bigger body that has potential for better D if he chooses to improve his D. Tall guards (a common thing in the NBA) can post up, out muscle and thus murder Curry.

    If the rumors were true, Clipps are idiots for turning down the Griffin/Jordan for Dwight/Anderson offer. Coulda had CP3 and Dwight! smh

    Who's Best?

    That could be answered by the open market. If teams had the option to 'redraft' any 3 of these guys who do you think would be in most demand?
    Not to be a homer, but I would surely think The Beard would command the most attention and demand.
    Curry is a great shooter and Blake can certainly add some inside athleticism, but as far as overall impact for a team and being a 'game changer', it's The Beard.
    Top 5 in scoring in addition to 'intangibles' like finishing at the basket and dagger-like 3's in clutch situations. Much like he did to SA in the Conference Finals last year. He came in and took over some of those games.
    Curry can add some firepower for sure at times, but Blake gets most of his off of clean up around the rim. I've rarely seen Blake 'take over a game' offensively and put them over the top. THAT makes a difference to most teams.
    Fear the Beard.......

    Harden, but both Curry and Griffin are close.
