I don't know if this is possible. I know that GSW have made some dumb moves in the past, but I really couldn't see any franchise letting go a talent as good as Curry except mayb LAC and The Griz. There is no front ofice I could imagine that would allow a trade to Rockets for Curry. Not with our current assets. Our asets are perfect for a rebuilding team, the funny thing is, Curry is the sort of player you rebuild around. It's just too much of a paradox for us to give great rebuilding assets to a team in order to acquire a player that is perfect for that rebuilding team.
It's dumb but from what I read GS expected more out of him... I would say Lee is the weak link of their 3...
I'm just thinking how sick a team of Curry Kmart Twill Pat and <insert center>, I'm not sold on Hill yet, would be in a few years. Or even Lee at Sg trade Kmart for a center, I'm not sold on Curry's defense maybe we don't want to run into 2 guards that cant defend.. We would be a very solid team in 3 years.
If Curry goes anywhere, its the LA Lakers where he will replace an aging and imminently retiring Kobe.
Stephen Curry is the next Steve Nash I believe Stephen Curry can be a franchise player. I'd give up ANYONE on this roster except Kevin Martin for Stephen Curry. Curry is only in his 2nd year, plays in the backcourt to one of the highest usage players in the league, Monta Ellis is a awesome player, top 15 in the league, so Curry is a bit overshadowed. I believe we can rebuild our team entirely around Stephen Curry. Game after game, we can see flashes the best of Stephen Curry (39 points, 14-20) amid another Warriors loss. Which is fitting: Curry is raising his game as the Warriors capsize into a sewer. Perhaps that’s why Steph’s getting so little credit. If it seems like I’m debating a strawman, just know the strawman is cobbled from my Twitter feed. The blue bird is flooded with Curry complaints, every Dubs game. And the point here isn’t to emotionally defend Curry from that silent noise, but instead to parse why his meaningful improvement is getting ignored, or worse, derided. Curry: Moping his way to underrated Better than projected What fans aren’t seeing: Easier scoring Curry is getting to the cup more often, and he’s getting fouled. Last year, Steph tallied 2.6 attempts at the rim per contest. This year, he’s at 3.2. When rimward, he’s gone from converting 57.6% of his shots to 65.5%, and far fewer–nearly 20% fewer–of those shots are assisted. Curry’s gotten more clever with his drives, and that’s showing up in the free throw numbers–4.2 FTA per game to 2.5 FTA. His herky-jerk dribble that becomes a loping, sideways-hook-layup is finally paying off at close range. Who knew that could work? Curry: Moping his way to underrated It’s hard to sell fans on Stephen Curry acting more like Corey Maggette, but this is a good phenomenon. The capacity to whistle-prompt will improve his efficiency going forward. I worried about Steph’s ability to create anything other than a jumpshot. He’s doing that, plus the jumpshots are going in. And by “going in,” I mean, “Ray Allen and Steve Nash had a baby, who still actually looks like a baby.” What fans are seeing: Bad body language in response to bad mistakes When Curry acts like Cousins, it undermines conceptions of his pedigree–and that’s part of the problem. When benched or frustrated, Stephen has a tendency to outwardly pout. I’m reminded of the Suns game when Smart gave him a fourth quarter hook. My periphery recognized a teen nun on the bench, and when I swiveled, it was actually Steph–with a towel draped over his sagging head. His shoulders were slumped, his face was contorted. Fans hate this, especially when some associate Steph with wealthy entitlement. I am not sure why, but we often put athletes on a stretcher of conflicting demands. We want basketball players to despise failure, but beam outward positivity in response to failure. What I am sure of: Curry’s response to individual mistakes is tangibly unpleasant. Perhaps it’s golfing instincts, but he often evokes an old man reacting to a botched putt. There’s the angry air punch, the “Why me??” shrug, the rolled eyes. Most observers prefer Monta’s cold, focused, “I will tear down the gates of hell” demeanor. And when do we most often see Curry at his worst? In response to Curry at his worst. When Steph screws up, he compounds the problem with histrionics. This makes the mistake more memorable, attaches a story to a turnover, inflates the impact on our consciousness. It’s to the point where announcer Bob Fitzgerald is suggesting that Stephen Curry “stop throwing one-hand passes.” Though Steph has a tendency to toss the occasional awful, one-hand turnover, telling a guard to cease passing one-handed is quite frankly, insane. Bob Cousy happened a long time ago. These memorable turnovers highlight another issue that fans seem to have with No. 30: He hasn’t markedly improved as a facilitator. Curry’s assist-to-turnover ratio is essentially what it was last year. My argument in Curry’s defense would be that he’s accruing more turnovers with increased driving, and that his passing game really shined in Monta’s absence last year (8.3 assists per game, sans Ellis). More to the point, Curry isn’t the team’s primary ballhandler–he trails Ellis in usage rate again. If you want Stephen to produce like a pointguard, he should handle the rock like a pointguard. For now, those whining about Curry are most justified when whining about Curry’s whining. And to everyone who complains about defense? That’s a team-wide problem, worthy of its own post. Until the Warriors get a better defensive frontline, I can’t see how Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry can survive. Curry is too slow to guard the top PGs in the league and Ellis is too small to guard the bigger guards in the league. The reason why Curry’s minutes are down is because he’s either in foul trouble and/or he can’t defend the other team’s PG. Ellis is the better defensive player, so he’s always going to be on the court. Plus, Curry’s defensive intensity isn’t there on a consistent basis. Lastly, both Curry and Ellis show flashes of making others around them better, but the lack of consistency and focus on both ends of the floor make their individual games a whole lot better than their team game. Golden State need to trade either Stephen Curry or Monta Ellis. Ellis is right now totally beasting it, and he is right now one of the best players in the NBA. I never really understood the Ellis hate from stats-geeks. Ellis was the only one on that team doing anything productive and he is blamed for all of the Warriors' losses. But back to topic--I want us to clear the house to rebuild around Stephen Curry Lowry + Scola for Curry + Biedrins Ellis handles the ball just as much if not more then Curry and yet everyone expects his assists to be higher when he doesnt have the ball in his hands as much as CP3 and Deron Williams. Curry will be the next Steve Nash.
Lowry over curry? You're joking right? Curry is a starting point guard, Lowry is a very solid back up. Saying you would start Lowry over curry is like saying you would have him playing behind jarret jack ( Lowry, i think, is better but they are pretty similar ). Would be a waste of talent.
i'm just thinking of the magic that would come from having a backcourt defense of curry and martin, lol Even Dwight couldn't make up for that, could he? lol
there is not a single person on this roster I would not give up in a heart beat for Curry I mean lets take back all their bad contracts while at it. but its not going to happen of course
Right... since he isn't even a real point guard it makes so much sense. -Stephen Curry is a nice player, but he's not a superstar. Has he made Golden State win that many more games...??? Let somebody else overpay for him and DRAFT THE JIMMER!!! Pretty much same skillset, talent level, BBIQ, passing abilities, shooting, etc.... just a mormon version of Steph Curry.
Except for the fact Jimmer is not a true PG and undersized at 6"2 to be a SG. Oh and the fact he does not Have the same skillet, bbiq, talent level, passing abilities, shooting, etc.. . Aside from that, yes, pretty much the same player.
They are available, him and Monta.... For a SUPERSTAR. We don't have one so there's no way we even have a sliver of chance at either of them.
