Am I the only one who thinks a backcourt of 6'3" Curry, 6'4" Foye, and 6'0" Telfair is a bad idea?

The thinking is that Foye and Telfair arent building blocks going forward. Jefferson/Love are, and Curry fits well enough with them.

even still, Curry is like 6th-7th on my board.

No my brother, you do not fight alone.

You see the distant flames,
they bellow in the night.
You fight in all our names
for what we know is right.
And when you all get shot
and cannot carry on,
though you die,
La Resistance lives on.

No, I agree, but that's not the only reason I'm not high on Curry.

But if someone wanted to get high on curry, how would you suggest it? Smoke it? Inject it? Snort it? Do that thing with a spoon and a candle?

All you have to do is touch it. "Come and touch it, Dave."

Smoke 'em. Just like CP3 will do next year.

No wonder Kahn is so enamored with him.

Ah, you must have gone to school at Yardale, where you had a 4.0 grade point average.

I'm political and stuff.

I have nothing against us taking Curry. He should be in the mix.

P.S. Has anyone heard anything about Derozan lately? It seems like his agents are trying to protect him a little too much and perhaps hurting his stock.

I've heard DeRozan's name mentioned at #3 to the Thunder. Presti loves him. It's a long shot, but if he doesn't go there, I could see him falling a ways.

#3 seems way too high, I think he should go not earlier than 9 :wink:

That's injecting it...I'm pretty sure. Yeah, the suburban white boy (well white-ish) is pretty sure on this one. Because I watch Breaking Bad. You do that spoon/lighter thing to melt whatever your shooting up, and then you suck it up in the syringe and go to town.

I feel really odd sayig this, but...I hope Chad Ford's right. I'd prefer Curry to Evans, but I'd be fine if we took either of them.

Wow, if the Kahn Man can swindle some deal that lands us Rubio without moving Love....he would be my kind of Kahn artist. I want Rubio as bad as the next guy, but who in their right mind would push away True Love? Any package for Rubio that doesn't move True Love or Big Al, I'm all for it, and have been all along. Make it happen Kahn Man.

My new dream scenario is #6, #18 and #28 for #2 and then trade Foye to someone for Earl Clark.

Rubio/Telfair
Miller/Brew
Clark/Gomes
Love/Craig
Jeffy.

I could handle taking a chance on Clark, cuz the potential is so huge in this line-up. Hopefully Clark has some foot speed and it'd be crazy. And once Miller and Gomes expire the team is even better with our young talent developed.

Krapinsky · Post #38 » by **Krapinsky** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:48 am

I think I would trade Love for Rubio --- after the draft as it would have to be ----if we got Derozan at 6 (for alley oops) and Clark at 18 (for pick and rolls), essentially getting 2 players that would make the most of Rubio's abilities. Derozan could be a 2/3 and Clark a 3/4 so we could go big or small.

Rubio/Tellie
Miller/Foye
Derozan/Brewer/Gomes
Clark/Smith
Jefferson/Maddog

dunkonu21 · Post #39 » by **dunkonu21** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 1:27 am

Also, not bad Dr. Kapinsky. That's the first scenario I've heard where I don't hate trading Love. Mostly cuz you picked players I like the most. But it's doubtful Clark lasts til 18 don't ya think?

I agree, it's very doubtful. I'd probably give up one of these combos to move up and make it happen--

Foye + #28,
#18 + #28
