Amaré to Warriors for Curry, Biedrins, Wright and/or Belinelli?

lol @ dee brown making 30 g's a year. i can make more than that bussing tables at a restaurant

Curry better be a Warrior.

 

[bence23]

i won't watch ONE game if we trade amare too..%+$* this front office.

 

[lavious]

...seems like fans of both teams think they're getting fleeced...

if curry isn't involved how can warrior fans be upset? when's the last time the W's had a legit low post presence that draws double teams?

...wright will never be a starter on a good team, belinelli is still a mystery (on his way to being half a bum). can't believe warrior fans would ratherhave andris playing center than amare...

Its clear the W's are getting the better end of the deal esp when there not givening up Curry. It will be interesting who has more wins next year the Suns or the W's. Nicks fans will forever be salty

Well, maybe this is payback to the Knicks when they mysteriously got the #1 pick over the W's and drafted Patrick Ewing.

andris fits well in this style of play.
marco h as talent, and so does wright. he may not be starter quality, but he'll get a great role player.
the only thing that i like about this trade is that it gets rid of the LONG rotation the warriors have. their bench is STACKED with talent, but nelsondoesn't want to play them. imo, if they can trade either jax or corey with cj watson for lets say, barbosa to even out the deal, i dont think any warriorwould complain.

 

[enlightened thought]

seems that the suns really want curry and the warriors are refusing to include him in the package. i don't think nelson is going to give kerr everythinghe wants. that's the leverage that golden state has in the deal right now: Curry. if the suns want him, i would think (or hope at least), that we'dkeep either wright or bellinelli, include buike and take back clark from there.

 

[bangdak]

not surprised the suns want curry.
curry+nash is

why dont the warriors try to get rid of cj watson + all them other bums.

 

[enlightened thought]

^cj's a free agent. he actually might just be the missing piece the suns need...sign and trade his *@@.

Because as you said, they're bums (and Watson is a FA). The other team has to want them to trade for them you know...

 

[sooperhooper]

Amare on the warriors is a good look. Him and Steph would do good as teammates, assuming he stays.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Steve Kerr is ******ed.

When I think of "killer instinct," I think of someone like a Paul Pierce or Kobe Bryant who steps up their game in the 4th quarter. That's what I meant. I know how Stoudemire plays. I don't need to see youtube clips of the guy.

I'm not saying that Biedrins neck and neck with Stoudemire. I know that Stoudemire is better offensively. I know he's more of what the defense will focus on. Again, the reason why I like Biedrins is the certainty of Biedrins. I don't like the uncertainty of Stoudemire, mainly his contract situation. I'm not confident that Stoudemire will sign an extension with us. So let's say Stoudemire leaves after a year, then what? We're left with nothing from that trade.

Again, Biedrins is not a bum. Biedrins is a good center and we have certainty with Biedrins. If you read a lot of the replies from those who dislike the trade, we refer to it as a rent-a-player move.

Yes, he was only effective with Baron on the team because Crawford and Watson weren't a scoring threat like diddy. I mean your mad cuz were giving up Beans but were gonna get what we need because we ain't changing coaches anytime soon.

Yes, Stoudemire would have matched up better with Boozer. That's part of the pros with Stoudemire. Biedrins struggled with Boozer, but what's why we added Turiaf to also put a bulkier body on Boozer. Again, it's his contract situation why I'm so hesitant to embrace this trade.

I know how Stoudemire plays. I'm said I don't watch much of Stoudemire's game because I speaking on his killer instinct, not his game and talent. I know how he plays. I know he's got talent. I know his game.

Like i said in my first response:
I mean i understand you guys argument we are giving up alot, but if amare is extending his contract before the deal goes down then thats not your "rent-a-player".

I wouldn't give that up for Amar'e not just because of the ditching after a year part. He's a primma donna and if things don't work out (remember Jackson and Maggette last year) then they're stuck with Amar'e for so many years with a big contract too. I just think the Warriors are giving up a lot and not even getting rid of Jackson or Maggette? The Warriors have players that could be solid components for the future while Amar'e is more of a quick fix thing. Not saying he's old, but he's established and we know what he brings and he's probably not going to change. The younger guys can still groom their game and try and fit a need.

IMO Biedrins just suits the system better. He's got more length and works harder for boards. He's not as athletic or talented as Amar'e, but he's fine with not having the ball in his hands or having plays called for him. He's effective without having to be a scorer (and he's fine with it) while Amar'e wants and needs the ball in his hands to be most effective. And his effort on the defensive end is

. I feel both are better as PF's, but AB is the better between the two at the center position.

Yeah, i understand your logic but in order to trade for something we desperately want we also have to give up something. We're not the lakers or celtics,who get handed superstars for all their bums. This is gonna be new direction from riley and the current staff. Making moves that mullin couldn't make oragree upon. We are trading a efficient guy for a superstar big man, which is my main point. We have lacked that since Chris Webber's rookie year. So, yeahi'm fine with getting Stat with a contract extension with sacrificing Beans because this waiting for a superstar tosign or draft is not gonna happen anytime soon. Most of those packaged players don't get significant minutes anyways, so we might as well get rid of thembecause we all know were gonna lose them in free agency or out bid for them when their contract extension is up for renewal. And we certainly have alot ofcapable backups to play because of Nellys style.

According to the Arizona Republic, the Suns thought the deal was a go. Curry was supposed to be included. Now GSW acting like they wanted Curry all along.

 

[solefuljs]

Suns won't make this move without Curry.

 

[clutchshooter]

f that.

warriors backing out.

you give steph curry to steve nash!

you give steph curry to steve nash right now!

 

[maddog345]

Hasn't GS learned that trading away their players doesn't work for them? Curry & Ellis in the back court is a scary offensive combo. Amare bestdays are past him. Biedrins has been playing better each year he has been in the NBA. He is forming into a really nice center. Don't do it Golden State.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Imagine the defense of a Nash/Curry backcourt.

 

[enlightened thought]

it's just a long winded game of poker with nelson (not rowell, not riley) and kerr. i hope nelson doesn't lose though

[onetrust]

true story

 

[bhzmafia14]

Just imagine if the Warriors lose Wright, Biedrins and Curry then Stoudemire leaves in 2010. What would the team have?
