Curry needs guys who are shooters around him. And he needs his guards to keep their men out of the paint.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

The focus of the offense is GOING to be CURRY! I don't know why this should put so much fear in people.
It might have something to do with the 1 to 5 assist to turnover ratio

morris almond can stroke the rock.

sean williams defends the basket better than anyone coming out of college.

those are two dudes who'd complement curry real nicely, one offensively, one defensively.


these are the two players I would target in this upcomming draft. Knicks need another pick however. Maybe Phoenix is willing to part with one of their 3 first rounders which will allow us to have the 2 picks we need to land these 2 prospects.

It would make sense to deal Frye and the pick for a chance at the lottery...
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

Yes, I hate building around Curry, but that is where we are. We have Curry. We gave up a lot to get him, so let's go full force ahead with the plan. Build around the guy. Every move should be made with him in mind. Enough half-asse, "oooooh Francis or Jalen are available" BS.
I just hope that people will like me

Dude he has only had the higher level of TO's later in the season. He'll get that under control as this team as a WHOLE improves in it's ball movement and as he adds the short jumper to his game. He'll be able to face the defense a few more possessions and make it easier to see and make passes. A few less offensive fouls will go a long way towards him not having so many TO's. Most of Curry's TO's aren't the kind that lead directly to baskets for the other team. His are fouls. On the season Curry avg'd .8 asts and 3.64 TO's. He can and I believe will improve those numbers. As Isiah improves the shooting around Curry and he makes better passes I believe he'll be up over 1 ast next year and in time probably end up near 2 asts a game. Because he handles the ball so much his TO's may always be around 3 a game, but I don't see that as a huge problem.

Throughout his whole career, he's always had between five and ten turnovers for every assist. It's not something new.

Look I'm only concerned with how he's progressing this season and going forward. I didn't know you were speaking about his entire career.. THIS year his TO's increased as the injuries mounted. This year I believe he could easily have avg'd 1 asts on the season if we had stayed relatively healthy. He was getting better at passing the ball, but without our best perimeter players that took some of that away. I think that also effected his TO's cuz he was pressing and forcing his offense thus drawing more offensive fouls. I'm saying that his game will improve in those areas, cuz it's already begun to happen and will only get better as the team get's better around him. You just know that Isiah is going to look to maximize Curry's game by adding the shooting we need.

How about just get a center that doesn't need to be catered to at every position? If Isiah knew we needed someone that can make the entry pass he should have taken the past passing point in the draft, if he knew we needed a shooter why not sign one in the offseason....

to many things need to be catered to for eddy to make up for his lack of overal game

Bingo! If you find out that the player you're trying to build around is so limited that he has to be catered to at every position, then it's a sign to ditch the plan and start all over!

^ Iverson needed to be catered to.

NOT like Eddy does! (And I wouldn't build a team around Iverson anyway.)

Yeah a second scorer and a team that wants to play defense and collect their checks.....we wouldn't have to do much of anything right now as a team if AI was in his prime with Collins, Balkman and Lee and Frye nailing jumpers at the 5.

Yao is a weak rebounder for his height, and he can be exposed on pick and rolls or against quicker Centers and PF's.


He's a better passer and shotblocker though, and a more sophisticated scorer, but he's also older and has alot more basketball experience.

write this down

Randolph Morris can play. His crash course in the NBA was not any indication of his long-term future. I would like to see how he performs over the Summer and into next fall.

Morris would be a first-round draft pick if his name were in the draft

I was just disappointed that he didn't get burn in the last couple of games. Or not enough tick.

It was nice to give Randolph Morris a taste of first-class travel arrangements instead of sending him home to Atlanta - but throwing him on the floor for long stretches against seasoned pros could have dome more damage than good to his confidence.

There was no precedent for such a transition in the history of the NBA. Why push him?

Once he gets oriented, settles in and catches his breath - Morris will have the opportunity to orient himself and adjust his game to the new pace.

What does Yao have to do with this. He's a legit franchise player. You can't even compare him and Eddy.
