As for the posts about, it's not wall's fault we are 500. Now one is saying wall is better than curry but Wall is a great PG! He is a pretty different beast than Curry too. 6 other gms other than EG passed on Curry so lets not play like no one else missed on him. I'm not defending EG, hell knows I want him gone tomorrow so we can hire Kenny the Jet smith! The wiz are playing well, and are on the up swing, lets be happy about that ok!
Well five GMs technically passed on Stephen Curry in the draft given that Minnesota had two picks. Although you could point to the other GMs who didn't trade Washington for the number 5 pick including San Antonio and Portland...
It's one thing to draft James Harden or Blake Griffin over Curry. At the time, I think anyone would have done that. And Tyreke Evans was a 19 year old who had started and been terrific in his 1 year at UConn.
OTOH, drafting Jonny Flynn instead of Stephen Curry... now *that* was an amazingly bad decision. Flynn hadn't even been good in college! That's what Kahn did w/ the pick he got from us for Foye and Miller.
In some ways the worst thing about the trade (at the time) was that we didn't at least get back Minny's #18 pick, which they traded to Denver for just about nothing and Denver used to pick Ty Lawson. I thought Lawson was the most certain to succeed in the league of any player in that draft.
