And Curry > Klay. Option 1 and 2 on their teams. That settles it right?
I'd take Curry, since Brodie and squad is looking like they'll miss the playoffs which kind of points KD likely being the best player on that team but I digress. *shrugs*

And lol I dare you to say that on the Rockets forum. I wanna see their reactions since they'll rage at you for messing with Beard.

TWO SIDES OF THE BALL

And Curry is actually a good defender despite the rumors surrounding him. I don't see your point, his defensive rating and opp fg% is noticeably better than previous years with him having more energy to play both sides since they actually run good plays with Kerr at the helm.

Brodie gambles too much on D, don't let his tenacity and high energy delude you into thinking that automatically translates to great D or something. So overall, again, I take Curry for gravitstional pull, playmaking, average to good defense, etc etc.

Overall he's still the best player between Klay and Curry. End of story.

Every single Golden State fan will tell you that Curry is better than Klay. Curry has the added responsibility of creating his own shot more frequently, and running the offense/getting other guys involved. Klay can hold his own but he's no world class elite defender that shuts guys down every single night.

As for Harden....yhere's a legitimate argument as to who you would rather have on a particular team because they both do different things, but in a vaccum Harden is the better player between he/Klay. He's been carrying the Rockets all year long and the responsibility he has on that team is reminiscent of LeBron's first stint with the Cavs when he had to create for himself and everyone else all game on a consistent basis.

Guys have career nights against Harden a lot, even with Dwight healthy and backing him up.

I don't really see it. Now, if he went with Leonardo or Michelangelo or Donatello I would see it. Dude straight up looks like a ninja turtle.

Man why do you like Reggie so much he garbage. he a ball hogging combo guard that can't shoot and mitch had one good game now hes great...didn't Greg just have a 20-20 game he must be a superstar then.

lol bro ive watched mitch play for a long time. hes great. i dont need a large nba sample size to know. And reggie is the clutch #1 scoring threat we could use to pair up with dre for a long time. Reggie a great player in my opinion. Jennings was that guy for a minute, but post injury im kinda worried now about jennings recovery, so reggie comes up in my mind. Greg's a really good player. Im not displeased. Just looking for a jennings replacement and a greg replacement with a trade like that.

Josh Smith - the 3PT specialist. Shooting 36.1% (22/61) from three since he's with Houston. Was shooting 21.6% (8/37) in Detroit. Playing with a superstar really helps your percentages... He's a very solid piece for the Rockets.

Except he hasn't really played that much period. He played what, 8 games in 2013 due to injury, then bolted to the NBA over fears about pot suspension. Then gets hurt once OKC drafts him, so in the last 2 years he's played what, 20 games?

I watched him a U of M his first year, never seemed all that great, and wasn't he like 20 years old as a freshmen at U of M? Should have been a monster, but instead put up 7 points and 6 boards average. No way MM replaces Moose, at least not in the short term, and most likely not in the long term either.

Good for him and nobody cares, Josh Smith sucks and you're not going to hurt anyone's feelings here over that.

I'm not trying to hurt any feelings. Obviously Smith wasn't a good fit for Detroit. But he's been terrific in Houston. Sort of like Rudy Gay sucked in Toronto but has reinvented himself in Sacramento.

Still have low TS, negative OWS and OPM, turns over the ball more and shoots the 3 more.

I watched him in the tourney, although I'm thinking you might have been watching someone else as he didn't average 20/10:

Against SDSU - 13, against VCU - 21, against Kansas - 25, against, Florida - 11, against Syracuse - 10, against, Louisville - 6
Tourney average 14.3 give or take. He did average 10 boards though, I'll give you that.
