View Full Version : This is what the Dubs wanted right? Curry as a Warrior, who cares bout team record?

The priority was Curry retiring with the team even if it means they dont contend the next two years and they acquire less ammo for a rebuild as a result, right?
No assets back for Curry, no top of the draft type losing season. They'll finish 40-42 and get knocked out of the play-in and have nothing to show for it. But at least Curry is there.
It's ok if thats what they want. I'm just confirming.
The team and its future is less important to the fans than Steph Curry's presence, yes?

They beat OKC the other night so who cares about any of that other shit. And yes, Steph is bigger than the franchise at the moment.
Curry and Lebron should just play together. At the very least they’d have fun in their twilights.

Remember when people cried about Ainge trading old KG & Pierce away? That trade got them Tatum, Brown and another chip. :lol

At least Curry and the Warriors won a ring in the parity era. Lebron hasn't been able to get higher than the play-in bracket yet. :lol

Ainge suggested Red trade Bird and Mchale too. I think the pacers offered something like Smits and Reggie and change for washed Bird. And Indiana is the only place he would have played other than Boston. And Minnesota was supposedly trying to get Mchale right after expansion. They definitely would have been a good team to take some first rounders from.
Instead…Red traded Ainge to the Kings a couple months later. I’m not saying one led to the other. I’m just saying both things happened.

Curry literally made the Warriors entire history and legacy. He transformed them like MJ did the Bulls. Don't really mind if they give him a couple legacy years.
It's almost certain that the franchise will never come close to what they accomplished with him going forward even if the NBA existed for another 1000 years.

What is this "parity" era? If it's starting when there we no repeat champions (2019), then Lebron's 2020 ring is obviously in the parity era.

It took way more than that though. Zingis and Jrue and White trio were more important when they won. Tatum and Brown alone aren't scary at all.

Who won FMVP? Thank you.
And I believe the Celtics made a Finals with Tatum & Brown & without Jrue & Zingis.

No surprise coming from a Curry fan.

As a Dubs fan I don’t care one way or the other.
If a legit good trade came up send him out.
If they wanna cement his legacy as a Warrior for life that’s cool too.
OP seek help.

Whether teams are scared or not they've led the Celtics to the conference finals 5 times. The other starters are important but it's a bit stupid to act like they're more important. The Celtics won the East with Porzingis playing something like two games. When Porzingis is out there he can make a major difference, he's a matchup nightmare and works well as a finisher, floor spacer, and room protector. Scores a lot of buckets off of assists from Tatum and Brown (contrary to the narrative being posted by a certain box score stalking idiot). But he's not the team mvp missing 20+ games a year.

That Celtics trade isn’t even remotely relevant to this. First you are talking TWO players. Kevin Garnett who was only there six seasons and Paul Pierce who isn’t even somewhat close to STEPH CURRY. Plus the Nets were a unique situation going all in not just on trades but signings too.
The best way to rebut 1987stan though is asking him why didn’t the Lakers trade Kobe? They bummed out forever before LeBron came and saved the day.
