no doubt, i don't think he's close to that level yet... i always thought Curry wouldn't be able to handle the PG position but i was wrong, he's done a fine job & is making some nice passes... everyone knew he could shoot but he's doing other things like rebounding & collecting his dimes that i didn't think he could really pull off at this level because of his skinny frame & the fact i thought he'd be another undersized SG, but he's proving he is a legit prospect at the PG position... it's too bad he didn't slip to us at #8.

The kis is already one of the best shooters in the entire league. That's what you look at when determining who he is. He doesn't have a low post threat on the team and is lighting it up out there.

Me too. I didnt see those PG skills coming at all. Especially not this early.

Why did the Knicks tip their hand so hard on this cat? They literally put a neon sign on his back and initiated the Don King hype.

true. It not like there is a huge money difference between 7 or 8 and he would definitely rather be here than there, I'll tell you that much.

First of all, its [barkley] terrible [/barkley] that Nelson is the career leader in victories because that dude is a disgrace.

Anyway, how much brighter would this team look with curry on our team right now? Drafting him might have been the difference in a playoff birth and a potential championship down the road. We'd look a lot more appealing to Lebron if we had this cat as well as other free agents.

Oh well.

And don't give me that non sense about who he's playing with cause D lee had the worst PG in the league, and a bunch of lame duck chuckers filling out the roster.

i love david lee. but the question is - is dlee better than bosh or amar'e? and the answer is no.

i would not be opposed to pairing dlee with bosh or amar'e, but i think it makes more sense to pair those guys with a playmaker like joe johnson and try to get a big man in the middle somehow. marcus camby, anyone?

if it is somehow possible to Joe Johnson, Amar'e and Camby... i'd be thrilled:

Toney
Joe Johnson
Gallo
Amar'e
Camby

bench: wilson, walker, barron annnnnd ... duhon (lol, you know he'll be back at the minimum, mike loves him)

that's a 55-60 win team

if we substitute DLee for Amar'e, it's a very good team, but without a dominant inside scorer. and I don't think Joe Johnson comes here unless he's coming with a bosh or amar'e type.

I understand all that, but i don't understand is how d lee gets crucified for his defense, yet a player like say...ohhh...Curry gets to put up 40 and gets praises.

Im confused as to how 70% of the players in the league are horrible one on one defenders, yet we are looking at amare, booze, and bosh like there light years ahead of lee in any defensive catagory, we still are going to give up 106 points.

Curry lets everyone blow by him, and if he was here, we would be better offensively, which would win us a few more games, but the defensive issue would be over looked base on us out scoring everbody, which will be the cas next season, and as long as MDA is our coach

Didn't you just say his game is hyper inflated? And you think he would have put up the same on the knicks and we make the playoffs?

Given that we had Chris Duhon starting for a majority of the season, yes I think he could have at least had us fighting for a playoff spot.

I mean, there is some middle ground. I think he's good and I would want him on our team. Do I think he is a future top-10 and would I want him over D-Wade? Cant say all that.

I thought The Dwade comment was sarcastic, you can't be serious

hahaha. We talking about Briggs here. My man is the G.O.A.T when it comes to getting carried away with his flavors of the month. Naw, he wasnt be sarcastic.

Two quick quotes of the top of my head. He said Bogut would be way better than KG and he said he would rather have Anthony Randolph and B. Lopez over Lebron James. Duke is a psycho.
