a) curry and dj are too similar and i wouldnt want to play them together so unless we had another deal to move dj then it wouldnt work
b) beans is ALWAYS injured. when healthy he has value but he is never healthy
that being said... the people suggesting that dj is better than curry now need to step back from the kool-aid just a tad. dj has been fantastic since silas came here, but curry is simply a better all around player, better shooter, better passer and better defender. the only reason their numbers are similar this year (since the coaching change) is because
a) curry had an awful ankle injury that has limited him
b) curry shares the backcourt with ellis
if the warriors called us today and offered us curry for dj straight the bobcats would be all over it.
True. DJ was underrated and is doing well,but Curry's a more talented PG. That...gets irrelevant fast if the idea is to use Curry as a SG. There's a lot of his best qualities matter less and matchups would be more difficult.
There is no #1 pick to trade...shooting this down. Just as Augustin was a nice surprise for the Bobcats,Dorell Wright was a nice surprice for GSW,a guy paid around $3 mill who's numbers are not far from Wallace's..and he's younger. Whether injured to much,underused,uncoached...whatever...Biedrins is the only C GSW has...and a half year of Nazr won't do much to offset that. GSW fans are numb to the effects of sloppy,lazy coaching and bonehead moves by the front office. Biedrins is the same age as rookie Udoh...so it's damn silly to just dump him without any other option in place.
For the Bob's,Wallace has been the face of the franchise. Were they a contender,or a big market,or even not around winning college teams, The Bob's could shuffle players (as GSW has) randomly. They need to be putting butts in the seats however. If G Wallace goes,it has to bring in a deal the fans get behind.
CENSORED... No comment.
