Curry shouldn't be starting anymore

[CS707]

You want to waste Stephs last years? Let him go somewhere he can be useful, and also shorten the down years for GSW at same time. Its win win.

I mean… if Steph asked for it I’d hope the organization would honor his request out of respect and desire to maintain the relationship well past retirement but certain organizations are off limits. F**k Houston.

You mean get to the down years quicker. No one knows how long we’ll be down for. It’s highly unlikely we get anyone nearly as good as curry in the next 50 years.

GSW won’t win with this old group and their salaries. It’s just impossible. We could have a chance if we had model of SAN 2014, but our young players nowhere near Kawhi level and veterans salaries are x2 than Parker/Ginobili/Duncan

I await with bated breath the better ideas you guys will come up with to improve this team.

[Old_Blue]

Next season will be Curry's age 37-38 year. This is old.

Therefore...

Curry shouldn't be starting anymore

OP's suggestion reads like the guy in Ohio who, for no effing reason, changes the brand of cat food he's feeding his cat. Immediately afterwards, his cat disappears. Then, this guy turns on the TV and hears that Haitian immigrants have been eating peoples' pets but that Trump is going to stop all that. So, the guy votes for Trump. A few days after the election, the guy sees his cat on his neighbor's porch...eating his same old cat food. Meanwhile, the guy's Haitian neighbor has disappeared.

What is the point? I don't know. I'm not Aesop. But, I don't want to see Steph disappear simply because, for no effing reason, someone thinks it's a bright idea to not start him.

It's not impossible, since 2020 I watched a vastly more talented team in Boston get beat twice in the ECF by a pretty bad Miami roster. The biggest factor in the playoffs is health and if Butler isn't undercut like he was in a freak accident maybe they get out of the first round quicker which gives Curry some rest, Curry's hamstring injury doesn't happen and you don't have a limited Butler for the Minnesota series. To say impossible is just not being honest, very difficult would be fair to say.

Curry put up 30+ in 20 of his 71 games and averaged almost 27 ppg after the all-star break meaning mostly with Butler on the roster, I think it's a no brainier that he's still a high level player. He put up 24 ppg against Houston who was one of the top defensive teams in the league who had unique defenders who could really make Curry work. He's fine, Butler as a facilitator who can give up around 20 a night is fine but they do need others around them being able to soak up some minutes without just completely tanking.

Injuries happen, it happened to GS all at once in the past which led to high draft picks and even without help from those picks, GS still won another championship. Boston is now going through somewhat the same situation, injuries happen and with that, you never know what can happen. One thing that can help negate the loss of a top scorer on a team is to have a great defense and GS had a very good defense with some not so good defenders scattered throughout the rotation. A few upgrades, some good health and this team will have a chance to compete for another championship.

How is it impossible when if Steph didn't get hurt there's a good shot we're winning this year?

In general, I think you are more than likely to live a good and prosperous life if, on all occasions, you do or believe the exact opposite of whatever it is Jester suggests. However, in this case, I feel obligated to concur with his assessment.

To be fair the cap now is x2.5+ what it was then.

I think you need to take a break from posting.

OP is the same guy that wanted to start Pat Spencer in the playoffs. I didn't read his entire post, but I hope he wasn't suggesting Steph come off the bench for Spencer

What a nifty idea! How ever did you come up with it?

[Arlo]

Yeah, this is too much internet for me today...

A thread I posted right after the playoffs elimination last year.

No team as old as the Warriors has won a championship. Doing the regular expected thing isn't going give the team the best chance to win. As the saying goes the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Creative thinking is required.

In my view the team has enough talent to win. Whether deployment of it can be optimized is the limiting factor.

Please check your view on more time. Looking at OKC or even DEN I don't know how it possible to take seriously this nonsense. I undesrtand that win +30pts against CHI can grow wings, but you shouldn't let go of reality.

Does Steph Curry play for this team?
Yes.

Did the team go better than 50% in this recent stretch without him?
Yes.

The team has a shot.

Posting this thread was bad enough but homie bumping it months later still looking back thinking he cooked is insanity
