Theres no way that they let Curry back, it was an awful idea in the first place and never worked out for the team. See ya Eddy

Yeah no offense but you guys have no idea whether or not Curry will be back.

Has anybody heard Kobe's quote about Lebron. Kobe basically said that 1 championship for Lebron won't cut it. He also said that when he and Shaq got their first, they looked at MJ with 6 and said they need more than that.

we should have freaking gone after this guy years ago.

I think we wanted him before but could not afford him

I can't remember whether we ever went after him when he was a free agent.

I do know for a fact the Sonics offered him to us for Wade, trying to remember whether it was right after Wade was drafted, or after we brought in Shaq. I think it was the latter though, they figured we might want to pair Ray with Shaq, and we turned them down.

I'm counting Curry out, I've always thought he was useless, this goes back to his Knicks days when he was actually in decent shape.

We still may bring him back, but I have absolutely no expectations from him. That said, I'll never understand why so many of you have such heated arguments over who our 14th/15th men are.

I think Riley's comments put Varnado into play, along with Hamilton and Harris. I guess there's a reason to watch the Summer League games this year. That and to see Cole, hopefully, tear it up. PEACE.

Hopefully Cole has developed a floater. I cringe every time he drives to the basket for a layup.

Yeah, he's gone. Pat gave Ray his number, and there was no point last season where Eddy looked ready to go. He could go to the NBDL, but that's about it. Maybe someone will give him the last seat on the bench as a project. PEACE.

my back is broken!

I was wondering why chris kaman is still on the market, centers usually get paid....fast. If we could pull a sign and trade for him, that would be great. And yes, i would be willing to give NO cole if we were to get kaman.

Varnado will get one of the spots.

Kaman would be a great pickup but he's too expensive for us. We should just roll the dice with what we have.

I've been looking too. I missed Rashard's presser and only saw the first couple minutes of Ray's before going out.
