I was against the trade. And not because i dont like JB. But Curry/JB/Dray are not contenders at this age. I would have sent out Wiggins/Steph/Dray for as many draft picks as i could get, and thrown Steph a parade.

And its nit hindsight: i said this at the time.

i actually didn't hate it for you guys as a last hurrah try, you never know.

i know its sacrificing a bit of your future, but Curry and Green sort of deserve it.

Kind of surprised he didn't go to Looney sooner because those Jackson-Davis minutes were not good. He was getting owned on the glass.

Playing a Curry less team can make you look like “world champions” just like OKC playing the Memphis Grizzlies made them look like “World Champions”.


If Ant can maintain his current tear, I don't think anyone left standing in the playoffs can stop Minnesota in a 7 game series

Wolves are playing great. But Warriors without Curry are about 18th in the league, going by the numbers. Any second round team (that is healthy) should be crushing GSW.

Off court, he does a lot of that, but rings aren’t involved.

What makes you think that ? Wolves have played OKC tough in all the games they have played over last 2 seasons..they have the defensive personnel required to slow down Shai.

I mean Kuminga pretty much made up for Curry production and golden state is still outmatched. Wolves just the superior team
