PTI was on TSN and we had one of our posters post what they said on the show. And the two guys said this.

Watching PTI right now, and at oddsmakers Kornheiser says there's a 100% chance he's traded and Wilbon's saying there's a 90% chance

i dont get it, why would the Warriors trade Curry... im so confused. Have you guys heard anything?

Nothing has been officialy leaked that I know of, but Joe Lacob was quoted in his recent interviews stating that he really wanted to trade for a star player. Perhaps there is a deal in the works? Who knows.

Lacob also stated that most things you hear in the media are nothing but ass cheese chinese whisper BS rumors. Most likely PTI are just making shat up to blab on about to keep their prime time slot.

New Warriors owner Joe Lacob stated he was willing to trade anyone including Stephen Curry if the Warriors could get a superstar back in the trade. Here's the link:

wow, why not grow with your young players than make a short sighted move to get a superstar. Melo isnt going to re-sign in GSW (no offense) and i dont see CP3 doing it either. What other "superstar" would be available... I would just keep Curry, develop Udoh and get another high draft pick and draft a wing player. I just dont understand why he wants a superstar now of all times.

He's impatient, and hates losing by the sounds of it.

So do they have anything extra or did they just read the Lacob comments and concluded 90 and 100% out of their asses?

Just people running with what little info is out there, insinuations are created, news floods out... etc etc. :lol:

Then people starting thinking it's real except for the one's in the know.

If you can get a superstar without tearing your entire team apart, you do it - you don't wait for "the time to be right."

Even if Melo was to re-sign with us I wouldn't want to trade Curry (plus whatever else) for him. Now if we could get CP3... a Monta/CP3 backcourt would be the best backcourt in the League. If we could do that and still keep some pieces around him Lacob should do that in a second. Of course, I doubt the NBA wants to deal the central piece in their new team.

There's no guarantee that you're "building up" to anything. Has Portand built something up? But if you can add one player, the right player - a CP3, LeBron, KG kind of player - that will instantly make you a threat to contend.

There are very few true different makers in the League so if you have a chance to get one you have to roll the dice.

I doubt this has legs, but it would speak to Curry's "distressed" state of mind lately. He has been playing with less confidence, and that can happen when a player gets wind that their name is in trade conversations. I don't doubt that Riley was given a green light on trading Curry for an EXTENDED Melo long ago, but that's a lot different than actually shopping a player with Curry's gate draw and potential,

As a rule, east coast guys don't know dick about the Warriors.

Watch the national media members that try to make a story out of some fairly innocuous, obvious answers from the Lacob interview. Whoever you see running with it, mark 'em down for future reference as worthless spinsters.

Dumb has been playing Curry less even in the 4th he gets benched sometimes

killacalijatt · Post #14 » by **killacalijatt** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 12:41 am

weve all noticed it, it seems like he's in Dumbs doghouse and its funny becuase Dumb should throw himself in his own doghouse

He's protecting Steph's ankle by keeping his minutes down. And PTI don't give to craps about the Warriors or even know anything more than the names of several of our players.

Honestly these shows throw crap against the wall constantly because that's the way ESPN likes things. Useless news. It's why we see scrawls that only show a Heat score. It's why we get over saturated with Brett Favre news.

Curry might be traded, but most likely not. Because getting a superstar is near impossible these days without some serious luck. Name a down on their luck team that has a superstar available? Then start a new rumor....The Carmelo one is played out. He's going to be a Knick sooner or later, just like he always was.

New Jersey's owner used the situation to get his lowly franchise some pub.

This is all just talk (which there's a lot of going on right now). The trade front seems to be heating up at this juncture which in turn will result in trade rumors. Warriors may just be making some noise because almost everyone else is doing it.

I wouldn't be too worried because what Lacob is actually saying if you read between the lines (which I don't think is too difficult in this case) send us a superstar and you can potentially have Curry (or even Monta for that matter but Curry would be the logical choice here).

So what. Who's going to be willing to do that or what superstars are currently on the market besides Carmelo and we all know he's not coming here. The 90% in the article mentioned really is 99% not happening.

I could see us trading for Chris Paul.

Why would CP3 leave NO for GS?

turk3d · Post #19 » by **turk3d** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 1:05 am

Because NO management decides to trade him. I guess you forgot that he's under contract to that organization. He has no say in the matter and it's up to them whether or not they want to even discuss it with them.
:lol:

As pointed out above, it's not up to Paul. He is under contract. It is up to the owners of his contract rights, the NBA board of governors.

The City of New Orleans has disrespected and failed to support an NBA marquee asset in Chris Paul. The couldn't fill the lower bowl while the team was near 1st place. The NBA wants Paul in a market where his value can be fully realized for the league. I doubt he will be traded before the summer. The league has to finish negotiating the idiot proof arena lease that will insulate the next NO owner from horrible fan support. After that lease is done, look for Paul to be dealt to a larger, more supportive NBA market where the league can increase a franchise ticket price and value by planting a bonifide superstar (like the Sf Bay Area.) If you are going to extract Paul from New Orleans ahead of a new owner, you would want to replace that asset with a cost effective (rookie contract) type of gate attraction, enter Steph Curry.

It may or may not happen, but it would be a highly beneficial reallocation of business assets to swap Steph and Paul. You put Paul in GS, you can get the team in the playoffs every year, and you can get that new area in downtown SF, and you can get a 90th percentile ticket price for lower bowl and luxury suites . . . none of which are possible in the city of New Orleans. It's just not a suportive NBA market, and while the NBA business overlords are making the decisions, don't expect NO Hornets decisions to be made in the team's basketball interest. The fans just haven't earned that kind of consideration.
