Stephan Curry is good, but he's not a franchise changer. We would have been just fine drafting Jennings, our point guard of the future, and keeping Wilson Chandler. That should be number one. Completely missing on Jennings because he wasnt some soft ass boy scout or whatever it is D'ivatoni is looking for in his players was disgraceful.

3. Not signing David Lee for 7mm per
4 Last years full draft[take your pick because Jordan Hill is going to Houston and he wasn't anywhere near the BPA ]
5 Signing Anthony Roberson over Anthony Morrow
6 Getting nothing for Nate Robinson over 2 years
7 Putting so much faith in Chris Duhon this year
8 Inability to find cheap players who can play like a CJ Watson--hey Donnie did you see him play tonight--maybe we shouldve brought him in for cheap this summer instead of throwing all of the eggs in the basket with Duhon and overpaying for Douglas?
9 Trading Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford prematurely and getting nothing except cap space[this could be significantly higher--its a wait and see.
10 Only attempt at a 7 footer was darko

I feel something very bad brewing--so I am allowed to swap. So far this effort has been stale and poor. There is a ton of dysfunction and they have only 1 plan.

and waiting for the usual nyk season to fall apart would have helped get more for them? salary dumps dont seem to be fetching high returns lately. wiz got nothing asset wise for butler/haywod.

I put my foot down there---Curry and Lopez will be all stars in this league at the most important positions---I'll eat my underwear if they arent. Im going to tell you Stephon Curry is better than almost anyone believes.

I don't see Curry as an all-star. Dude is what he is which is a very good shooter. I want to see him outside of Nellie ball. I think Lopez will be an all-star as well. The center position is all but dead.

Lopez, perhaps, might be an All-Star in the same vein as a Chris Kamen. A decent player who is often very good on many nights, but has little impact on wins or losses. Lopez is the number one option on a team that is challenging as the worst of all-time. And it's not like the Nets are that under-talented. Doesnt that speak volumes to you?

And I like Curry but not as much as you do. At the end of the day he is a 6'3 shooting guard. What defensive stop is he going to make when it counts most? What physical will is he going to impose? He's just an upgraded Nate Robinson.

We're in a tough spot, but dont go losin' your mind on me.

He's not Tim Duncan but he will be an impact player. I was going through NJ stats--they are shooting 42% as a team--Brook is shooting over 50--without Brook--this would be an NBA team shooting in the high 30's--I don't think that has ever been accomplished in the NBA. Their starting PF is barely shooting 40%--unheard of.

Small ball big ball--there is nothing that will prevent Curry from being an all star. He's going to push for ROY. I cant believe some of the talent at the PG position for these rookies. Having S Curry fall one more notch or just acquiring him with Chandler at 5 is a franchise changer.

Jennings & Chandler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stephan Curry

The hell we gunna do with a 6'3 shooting guard. Again, I like Curry and I wish he would have fallen to us at number 8, but I'm over it. I watch him a lot out her in Cali. He's coo, but thats it.

Jennings, tho. Damn. A POINT GUARD!

This will be a tough one--worthy of coming back in 5 years to look at--if Im not dead
