Is it time for Curry to ask for a trade? 

Post#1 » by Romulus » Mon Jan 6, 2025 5:01 am

We know this FO is incapable of making any trades before the deadline. We also know this team isn't good enough, period.

So what's the point of Curry staying here?

Is it time for Steph to finally go to the FO and ask for a trade?

he likely won't do it, but at this point he probably should. if he really wants to have another shot at a title.
if he's happy with what he has accomplished, then he has no reason to leave.

According to some, it's jk that should request a trade because he's better than steph...

Who?

I feel like i'm one of JK's biggest supporters here and have never seen anyone remotely suggest that.

On the other hand, you crack on JK every chance you get....like you just did in a thread about Curry.

Guess you didnt see todays game thread. And yes, many do make outrageous claims.

And yes, many jk supporters tend to ignore his flaws and almost always bring up boxscore stats or isolated highlights to prove otherwise. Hate to say, but jk isnt the second coming of giannis. Jk isnt a sf. You are a hater..blah blah.. Speaking for myself, I dont think ive said much regarding jk that isn't true.

I've called him a tweener who is likely a 4 in our system.
I've called him a one way player who works best as a bench dynamo.
Hes a horrible off ball/help defender, but decent on ball vs certain type of players.
He cant shoot.
Low bbiq.
Hes got bad hips and feet while lacking some functional athleticism. He's an elite straight ahead runner and a leaper, etc..
And now that Kerr has him in a better role, he's flourished.

Not just here, but other places as well. Jk is put on a hof pedestal and any criticism on him is taken as a fabricated crack. I'm not sure he even goes 7th in a redraft. That's not hate, it's fact.

Zzzz, one can dream.

Pretty obvious the f/o ain't breaking the band up until they have squeezed every last drop from yesteryear. Steph will get his city by city "Kobe" farewell tour at the expense of any actual competing. Real warriors fans will be teary-eyed and complain how underpaid he is.

Wake me in three years.

for the record, I second every single word you posted on JK.
quite frankly the consideration given to him by some on this board is unjustified, it doesn't have any validation based on real facts.

He shouldn't ask for a trade, but he isn't blameless either.

He's the best player on the team and is still capable of being the no.1 on a contender.

But, him getting paid 60M in his 35+ years handicaps us on what we can do with the rotation.

We needed the rookies to be homerun picks (at least one) to offset that salary.

I just checked the game thread. I couldn’t see anyone claiming JK as anything really.

Re Curry. I hope he will never ask for a trade. I’d stop watching NBA basketball if he was playing for someone else. In saying that, if he went to MDJ and asked for a trade I wouldn’t blame him.

nah we wouldn't have any rings if not for the paycuts he took earlier in his career... that's a bag I don't mind paying

the Dray extension is a different story though

Sure you pay it, but it also makes it difficult to build a team.

How many value contracts do you think we have? Maybe 2 that aren't on a rookie deal?

and you come to this BS conclusion based on what post exactly?
we don't blame everything on JK, which is a BS, and you know that. we simply don't think he's proved to be a future all-star like some on this board have already established (apparently he is the second coming of jaylen brown....), nor to deserve the big bag he and his agent are seeking to extend, which is not a small detail when you put the conversation about kuminga into context.
and personally, I don't believe any of the youngsters - JK included - is that good to rely on them in the present or build on them for the future, that yes.

on the second part of your post, people never wrote literally "JK is better than curry", but when some pointed out the warriors are 5-2 with kuminga/without curry vs 5 playoff team and 0-3 with curry/without kuminga vs o playoffs team after the W against MEM, the implied argument seems to be quite clear.
you should check your facts better next time.

Don’t be funny. No one said here that Kuminga > Curry. Need to have very good imagination or to be really dumb to see it my post. The point is this team is playing really good where Curry missing games. Another good post was from Vagelis, where he mentioned that Curry/Green playing style disconnected from rest of a team.

don't try to turn the tables on what you posted now.
your post wasn't simply "warriors are 5-2 vs 5 playoff team without curry and 0-3 vs non-playoffs team with curry", you added with/without kuminga to the mix. there is a difference. when you add that there is clearly an implied argument. and it's not being funny.

joe lacob is the luckiest mf in the history of sports....he won a lottery and thinks he earned the money because he is good at this business. he will get the ugly truth when Curry retires..actually if he is smart with his money he should sell his stake now and take the money and run.
