Or don nelson's reasoning for benching curry: "He doesn't have any tattoos. You can't start in the NBA if you don't have tattoos"

So glad those years are over.

Curry does have some small, tasteful Davidson tattoo though.

Bet he's got a saucy tramp stamp.

On Ellis: One of the reasons we were able to tame the beast so to speak was because the Warriors were all he knew, he owed us for being a moped riding j-off. He owes nothing to the Bucks or any future teams. Kinda makes you wonder what he was actually like behind the scenes - we know he was Jackson's butt buddy but I wonder how much of a chemistry detriment he actually was.

In a thread below, check out what Pastor Jack had to say about Monta's affect on chemistry

'You know'

Sad to see Brandon Roy continue to milk teams with his bad knees. I wonder how much it cost the Wolves?

Eric Gordon looks like the next guy (along with Andrew Bynum) who seems to be intentially milking contract dollars by not fully disclosing his condition....sigh. Warriors could have easily been a team that traded for him only to find they had a guy who bases his game on athleticism and has bad wheels....

I haven't been following the draft much this year, can anyone tell me how CJ McCollum compares to Stephen Curry? He seems to have an eerily similar profile as Steph did, and is projected to go around that same draft range. Seems like he's going to be the steal of the draft if he projects to be Curry.

Nate Robinson going full Nate Robinson right now. Throwing up a total stinker after being red hot for several games. Inconsistent player.

That's pretty much what you get. Everybody has a little honeymoon period with Nate when they see how exciting he can be when he's on a roll, but then you realize he does the same things whether they're working or not, and that at least half the time they're not, and then the honeymoon's over.

The NBA looking ridiculous again with Marc Gasol only making second team all NBA defense after winning dpoy....as c crazy as the crap refs and them owning the Hornets.

It's because the media votes for DPOY and coaches vote for all-NBA, right?

Kind of nice not knowing when the draft lottery is.... there's a 200 page thread that will never happen.

I was just thinking today this is the first year in so long that I have no idea when the important draft dates are, feels strange.

Im the exact opposite.. I was so gunshy of watching the NCAA, locking into a good player just to watch us pass on them. Trying to sell myself on guys who werent as good. Now Ive been looking at draft stock and mocks knowing I cant possibly be disappointed. I care about the draft 100x more..

And just to reiterate - That Trey Burke kid I was hyping last year: potential top 3 pick. Reminds me a lot of CP3. Also, pity the team that drafts Shabazz. You know it will be Sac.

Exactly what I was thinking. He may as well head over right now and get acclimated to the city, since they're sticking around there.

I'll admit it, I will miss our draft day threads. For so long we've been frothing at the mouth for weeks before the draft pimping kids for our annual 3rd-7th pick.

I'd actually be fine with us trading someone to get a lotto pick this season, just because I want to drink beer and watch the draft :lol:

It's sad, I know.

Are the Warriors looking to trade or buy themselves into the draft:

Rice is a projected late first/early second round pick.
Below is from Charles F. Gardner, beat writer for the Bucks:

Rice needs to convince NBA teams he has matured after being tossed off the Georgia Tech team, leading to his unusual journey to the D-League.

He said he spoke with the Bucks, San Antonio, Boston and Golden State on Wednesday.

"Everybody wants to know what happened," said Rice, who faced charges after a shooting incident outside an Atlanta nightclub in March 2012. "I've been working on and off the court to mature and become better.
