It seems every other post in this forum has #6 and Curry, Zach or Lee going somewhere for a lower pick and filler. Each of these players does have some baggage. Curry can't board or play, Zach can't coexist with Curry and doesn't play D, Lee isn't quick enough for small F and doesn't play D. On the positive side, how many players in the draft are a guaranteed 20 ppg like Curry, how many players in the draft are a guaranteed 20 and 10 like Zach and finally how many guaranteed double doubles are there in the draft like Lee. Maybe it is the player but the combination of them together. Remove a piece and the value and results of the remaining pieces work better together. I see no reason to give up the 6 and one of the others to move down since what we give up has a minimum base performance certainty. We can't spend the next 3 years waiting for someone who may not want to come here,may sign an extension in the interim, suffer an injury etc. Maybe someone comes along and is available 4 years from now.

Yes we have to fix our mix-Curry should be worth something-maybe mid to late 1st round. Move Zach to Center-yes he's undersized and still may not play D but will still get u 20 and 10, Lee is workout warrior and has improved his O each year (neither Jordan nor LBJ came in the League with a consistent J) and Lee and will have the minutes if Curry is gone. Just an example and pardon the rant.

Yep... They all short...
We need some long guys...

Zach is truly a rare player... 20 & 10 type seasons & still unable to get his teams into the playoffs... all that & he comes packaged with a max contract that clogs up the payroll for another 3 years & acts like a New Jack City mobster off the court... i can't imagine why teams wouldn't want him.

you may see no reason in wanting to unload his contract but from every indication it seems like Donnie Walsh, the guy who we just hired to fix this franchise & probably knows more about building successful NBA franchises than everyone posting on this forum combined, is looking very deeply into doing just that... he must have a good reason.

We'll see. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and if we can find some sucker (I mean team) to give us good value for Zack, Eddy, and company, I doubt Donnie Walsh will turn that team down.
