    And we're going after Durant first while the players we need probably get snapped up by other teams

    Been wanting Seth on our team since he was tearing it up in the D-League last season!

    I don't see what's so terrible about Seth curry. I watched that game where he was lights out shooting and had like 15 assists for Sacramento. The dude is a legit starting point guard. And in a three point league, he's way more valuable than someone like beverley.

    He's got potential in an MDA offense.

    I feel like we've been spending too much time trying to hit home runs when we could be just as effective with base hits. IOW, we routinely miss out on quality players who aren't stars but can contribute in many ways and bolster our bench.

    Now that we have D'Antoni, everyone's just about collecting one dimensional shooters. No one ever questions how a player is on defense at all anymore. I hope Morey is wiser.

    Harden is going to handle the ball - that is a fact - we need players that compliment him not WEAKER ones to take the ball away from him.

    Here's some FACTS.

    1) Seth Curry was touted as the best perimeter defender on the Kings.

    2) The Rockets don't have a single GREAT shooter. Curry can be that guy.

    I don't know if his limited career will make him undervalue or the fact that he had that 15 assist game in his limited career will make him overvalued.

    same thing for the last name curry. either people will think "are you kidding?" or "wow, i bet he'll be like steph."

    if he could really be had for $5M or under, i would definitely take him and give him 20 minutes a game. maybe the 45% 3 point shooting in such limited time was a fluke, but given his genes that would seem unlikely.


    and bringing back troy daniels would also be great. cheap shooters are something you can always use.

    No harm in giving him a chance. Harden will probably trust him to knock them down.

    Doesn't have the greatest handle, and he is pretty damn slow. That said, I am down to throw Harden out there with an elite shooter. Jimmer, Seth, etc...

    In D'Antoni's offense, we won't have to worry too much about defense anyway and as we saw this year, the defense of Ariza, Dwight & Beverley did not amount to **** so might as well get guys who can knock down those shots Harden creates!! Can you imagine all those wide open threes going in? We could've won way more games based on that alone.

    Stephen Curry is an unrestricted free agent next offseason. You bring in Seth this year to lure Stephen next year. We can have the real MVP and the people's MVP on the same team.

    I looke at some of the game logs and the opposing guards did seem to have a lower field goal percentage? Westbrook, lillard, and wall.I thought he was a solid defender. Did he defend opposing teams points or their two guards? Some games where he played a lot were with rondo starting whose also pretty well regarded, but I believe more man to man

    Here are some facts :

    1. You have mentioned the Kings in your example, LOL.

    2. You mentioned Curry and GREAT shooter both in the same sentence, but somehow you don't understand NBDL is a different league than the NBA.
