What I envision for this team is 5-6 multi faceted guards who are utilized in an impromptu offense scheme. It might be much cheaper to get a late 2 and draft Bryn Forbes but I really like Curry and he has NBA experience that kind of gave us a glimpse of what he can do over 40 games just like Jaeremy Lin did. But we need a high effeicney shooter from 3 there is NO doubt in my mind. Curry had some big assists games down the stretch--he doesnt have the speed I like--but hes got everything else. Thats why you pair Curry with guys with size--guys with speed etc...

He averaged 3.5 assists per 36. That is 2 guard numbers and not even good ones. That being said, if you think that was just situational and he really can be a good passing PG then that is another story. Would like to see some full game tape on him.

The interesting wrinkle now is how much input Hornacek and whatever staff he brings in is given on roster moves. Particularly at the guard spots. Hornacek knows a thing or two about sweet shooting guards.

Think the biggest question is price. Is he just a three point shooter? Then not worth over 6M per. Also, does Phil not prefer players who can play multiple positions and have more length on defense?

with that said, he can SHOOT the ball - and thats always a needed asset. would i take a chance on him - SURE? we have no backcourt depth and we desparately need some

You could see in his # that when he got playing time--he was an adept passer very reasonable rebounder for a guard and a decent defender

But you need to remember when he got those minutes which you seem to over look. The season was over for Sac and most of the teams they were playing and they were just out there playing to play.

Not his fault--they played Rondo who contracts the floor and they lost a lot of games with some good players.

think he has 2 FULL seasons under his belt
not sure what is the most he can make but I think we should consider him if we can get him on a solid deal

1- Thanasis *I have always liked him and I think he can develop in to a role/impact similar to a YOUNG Ariza (though smaller, at the SG/SF, and probably defend some PG)

2- Seth UFA?

3- Justin Holiday has a team option for another season in Chicago that was traded to them by Atlanta in the Hinrich swap
surprised GS didn't resign him and we or another team didn't go after him harder as he played as a 6th man with multiple positions/styles with his size/length/versatility on GS

other brothers? am I missing anyone else that can be CHEAP targets? NOT being sarcastic...

Tyler Zeller/Miles Plumlee *if we do move Lopez for assets/cap space along with Bobdan/Mehjri (Dallas) for cap friendly deals*

Klay Thompson's brother was not very good when he played for us
Millsap's brother had some decent games his first year but took a step back last season

Would these brothers improve our chances in landing their better halves?
I was SOLD on Giannes once I saw him on draftexpress in 2013 summer
I am so intrigued on his size/athleticism/versatility/DEFENSE and TOUGHNESS, could be a YOUNG Magic Johnson/Lebron like game, playing point/forward/center, with more of the size/length of a BIGGER Durant
He probably will be the BEST DEFENSIVE player at some point in the next couple of seasons, with his length/athleticism/size/strength/toughness and willingness to play DEFENSE

Hoping that he signs a 3year deal with a 4th year player option (likely MAX when he is a RFA next summer, so he can be available 2020 or after (when CA's contract expires)

We missed out on Rudy Gobert that draft and just missed Plumlee with the Nets picking 1 before us, though we got Tim Hardaway (that lead us to Grant)

We also missed out on Jovic for Cleanthony Early

What does who's fault it is have to do with the numbers he put up in meaningless games??

Did the Kings play a meaningful game all year? WhenI watch the nba I reinforce my thought process that we need 2 of Crabbe Forbes or Curry AND we need a guard who has speed. You look at each GOOD team and say we could use this a little of that etc. There is no doubt in my mind that the best team we could build would be a deep diverse backcourt with interchageable pieces and high wuality 3 point shooters( and there are not many of them) are important. One guard who has speed is important as well because u watch a guy like Westbrook and he's able to control game flow with his speed with the ball
