Curry is on track to beat his 3 point record...again. Only needs 27 three pointers from here on out and they have plenty of games remaining.

I just can't comprehend how great of a player he is. He's singlehandedly revolutionizing the guard game like Jordan and Kobe did.

Copeland signs with the Magic. Wish we picked him up, would have been a nice 3 pt threat on a vet min contract.

The Bucks cut Copeland TO SIGN Steve Novak. I'd take Steve Novak for the Pistons, not Copeland. Copeland is a poor defender, not a good rebounder, and is only bouncing around the NBA because of what he did (fluke) in his rookie season with the Knicks.

Even with the Magic about to waive him, i still wouldn't consider him.

I do believe our own Isiah Thomas was as good as curry except that IT had to deal with handchecking and much tougher defenses. I wouldn't say he's revolutionized the guard posistion as currently he's the only guard doing what he does. If 10-15 years from now we have kids pulling Curry shots from just past half court or making the NBA look like a pick up game, i'll say that Curry revolutionized the game. I just think like Shaq was, Curry is a anomaly.

I think there are tons of guys just as athletic and skilled as Jordan and Kobe, probably in almost every single draft. What separates those players is their mentality and imposing will on the game. Guys like Tmac and Vince Carter easily could have been the GOAT if they had Jordan's mentality.

Curry is superior at shooting while Isaiah Thomas was superior at Ball Handling, Passing, Defense and Driving to the Hoop.

Zeke >>> Curry if they both played in Today's NBA. Zeke would have 15apg, higher PPG as defenses are softer now and probably average 2spg.

Looks like Joe Johnson was waived by Brooklyn. I can see him being a nice addition to many teams, including Detroit. Seems highly unlikely he'll end up with the Pistons though.

I see him going to a contender like OKC or ClE, but hopefully he doesn't end up on an East team that we're competing with for a playoff spot (MIA, CHI, ATL, etc.).

Johnson would be great, but I can't see him coming to Detroit.

I agree right now I would take isiah over curry,but curry still has alot of time and if he keeps going on his trajectory,then he will pass isiah.I think the real test is to see what curry could do with a team that isnt as stacked or if curry can become the type of leader isiah was.I dont think curry will have that same pit bull mentality that isiah had,thats something that your born with.Regardless,watching the rest of currys career (and if it stays on track) should be like watching another jordan,kobe,etc.

I dont think anyone would argue about what seperates the greats and the rest of the guys, that had the skills but not what really counted,which is the brain.The question is,does curry have it,so far yes.but theres still plenty of time for that to change or the real bi#$h and what every player dreads , injuries,which curry has dealt with and could return,especialy if GSW continue to make it to the finals every year,that will wear on alot of those guys.

Johnson would be awesome,I think he will take the same path as iggy,become a really great super 6th player,a guy anyone team would love to have coming off the bench and a leader in the locker room.

Looks like copeland got waived by the magic. He could be another option for Detroit.
