In case you missed it yesterday the Warriors sent Jamal Crawford to the Atlanta Hawks in what amounts to mostly a salary dump for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton.

Dont Deal BIEDRINS

amare’s not worth that much anymore, plus we would be way better if we had biedrins and amare playin 4 and 5..i say trade wright belineli and either captain jack or dare i say curry.
so wright belineli and curry for amare and grant hill or barnes

They’re not giving up Amare without us including at least one of Randolph, Biedrins or Monta.

without curry it is OK, but with it is too much, I like Amare but he is a risk now...

He is not the same guy he was, I am not saying it is a bad deal, but we are taking a big chance, we are not contenderrs with him, lets keep going young and be competitive, trade our newly acquired expirings for more talent. dedication maybe speedy and maggette would be more to my liking, I know it is less than would probably do it but I would throw in beli or wright. I do not think he is an all star anymore, a stud for a year or two maybe, i would rather take a chance on a couple young guys personally. It is not a win now philosophy but I do not think we are taking it all next year with Amare…. just what I think

Stoudemire plays no defense and isn’t even a good rebounder. I don’t want to give up too much for him.

Wright, Biedrins, Belineli isn’t all that much. It’d be nice if we could get back into the draft and get someone like Blair to shore up the front court for that scenario.

why aren’t law/claxton being invloved in the trade if the Suns are just trying to shed money?

can’t we do something like Andris + law + claxton + belli for amare? Wouldn’t that be better for both teams involved?

Exaclty what I was going to post. Everyone's sayin dont include Curry in the trade for Amare..

but where does Curry fit in. Do you guys see him as a potential 1 and have him and Monta in the backcourt. I would think right now Monta and Jack have the backcourt on lock down. What if it was AB/BW and Curry for Amare

by CSalMJS on Jun 25, 2009 8:00 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Initially off the bench playing 1 and 2 probably. Him, Monta and Jack will play together in some rotations, othertimes he’ll give Monta or Jack a breather. Eventually he’ll slide into the starting lineup, which, as it sits right now, would make him a 1. But I would expect that 1-2 years down the road so there’s lots of room for roster changes. When you’re a team that’s not built to win now you have to be flexible – it’s not a problem at all.

by Missing Barry on Jun 25, 2009 8:04 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Curry will take less shots...

Crawford was already an established scorer, and felt like he needed 20 shots a game. Curry is not an established NBA scorer, and will only take a select amount of shots, being behind Ellis, Jackson, etc…

by samuraaaaiiiiiii on Jun 25, 2009 9:41 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think we should swap picks with the suns

Earl Clark would be excellent for our team

(Amare + Clark + Barnes) for (Andris + BW + Belli +Curry)

Amigo!

Apparently, Monta’s tantrum throwing of drafting a PG has worked (rumor?). Another SG? According to Jae 1/2 of the game is defense. I wonder if Monta has worked on that during off-season, along with his attitude (rumors again?), play making, court decision, passing, offense fouls and etc. etc (What? You want him to be our PG?). I wonder if Curry is good at defense. Apparently, like Monta he’s great at finishing…

But would that be enough?

Yo, the Warriors should jump in here, give away a future 2nd rounder pick, and get Patty Mills. Everyone talks about Rubio, but Mills played legitimately well against NBA players instead of showed “potential” but in actuality had 6 points Rubio.

But if next year is a strong draft, which I’ve heard it will be, I could see why they would stand pat.

monta, curry, jack, randolph, amare. Bench: MAggette, turiaf, morrow, law.

Ellis will dominate the minutes at PG, if Curry is not around we re-sign CJ or pick up a bkup to play 5-10 min per game … and no, Marco is not a PG and people should stop suggesting …

I agree with this, I just don’t see a reason why that backup can’t be Law. I don’t know a lot about Law, I know he hasn’t lived up to expectations, but I have a hard time believing he can’t be as good as CJ Watson for ~10 minutes a game.

AR starts as the 4 this season over bwright (probably because AR has a better mid range shot).

There's no need to worry.

Curry most likely won’t be involved in the trade…the Warriors are too high on him and know that they got a steal. If an Amare trade does go down, it would most likely involve Beans, Wright, Belinelli, and Azubuike.

pheonix is high on him

Clearly if they trade amare they want to rebuild. You don’t give away a 26 year old all star Power Forward for a good starting center with limited upside and 2 unproven largely disappointing young players. Yeah they could want buike… but more likely they want pg for future as nash is probably gone

why not?

what do we need him for? we are over stocked on guards. he is a combo guard.

if we can get barnes/clark in the trade too we’d be better off

nelson absolutely gushed about Curry

just heard an interview w. Roye on the radio. the coach directly stated that curry could become a point guard on the level of Nash. he had high praise for the way he sees the game, involves his teammates, and runs the break. this could all be spin, but it sounds like curry will get all the work, coaching, and playing opportunity possible to eventually become a starting point guard.

You’re not serious as you? Those guys are supermodels compared to some members of the league. Think Charlie Villaneuva, Josh Boone, Sheldon Williams, Sam Cassel…

except Kirilenko, that dude’s on their level. Anyways the point is while none of my examples are on the same team, each one of their individual ugliness is greater than all the guys you listed combined.

Nellie

is so going to use him at the point and just have Monta focus on slashing and leaking out on the break.

Those passes aren’t flashy but they are instinctive and spot on in terms of placement and timing. Monta will never have that kind of vision. This is now 2 drafts in a row where the Warriors have selected someone who has the skillset and upside to become the best player out of their class. I’m pumped up and hope they wont trade him for an Amare rental.

some Suns fans, uh, are

pleased with the proposed Andris + package:

I’m actually extremely pysched for this trade. By far more value than I could have anticipated getting for Stoudemire.
Make that two happy people. If this trade goes down as suggested…Amare for Bellinelli, B. Wright, Biedrins, & Curry…the Suns will be getting a steal of a deal. They’d be getting 4 young, athletic building blocks, and it sounds like cap room as well. Not bad for injury-prone player with terrible attitude who can’t rebound or play a lick of defense.
Damn? You mean the Suns got rid of a offense only player and replace him with folks with real upside? EXCELLENT TRADE. The Suns are getting more talented and younger in a hurry. I’m sure the W fans will love seeing Amare getting 5 rebounds a game while scoring 30 points… after his opponent scored 35. Good riddance. His best years are clearly behind him.

some are, uh, not as pleased!

The only good thing about this trade is that idiotic fans like you that know nothing about basketball or the players we’re going to trade for, will no longer follow the suns when the suck during a “rebuilding” process. Your post is ridiculous because Biedrins has no offensive games, yes he’s great defensivley but we are now lacking any type of post offense. Brandon Wright will fill that need? The same guy who can’t get on the court in Golden State? And you’re willing to trade a perrenial allstar, argueably the best offensive power forward in the game? Say what you want but his offensive abilities far outweigh his defensive issues.
… If this goes through the Suns just lost 8 rebounds a game, the best finisher arguably and 25 points a game. There are 3 players who play PF in this league who can do better than that offense and none are available… Bosh, Duncan, Garnett. As we did not get them this team will be winning 40 games at the most next year.

and Suns fans have the same arguments GSoMers have had about extending Amare:

I would not pay Amare a max contract if he has to be constantly prod[d]ed to play defense and rebound. He is a good offensive player, not franchise player. There is a major difference between the two.

and some have, um, insight into GSW depth:

Beidrins is good, but the other guys aren’t. Maybe if Randolph was in the trade, but we are getting Bellineli a bench warmer.

What’s next for PHX?

I wonder if Nash is on his way out too?
I don’t think he’ll want to play with, Richardson, Dudley, Clark, and Beidrins

you keep saying this

without any real explanation to it. I say we toss em Belineli OR Curry. As long as we can keep one of em we will have a legit backup PG for ellis. look at my post just below to see my projected trade and starting lineup.

i really hope the trade goes as follows:

amare + (earlclark or barnes)

for

andris + BW + (curry or belli)

this would be a great trade for both teams involved.

imagine:

PG: ellis – curry or belli
SG: jackson – morrow
SF: clark or barnes – buki/maggs
PF: Randolph – buki/maggs
C: Amare – turiaf

that would be sweet for us, and im sure the suns would be happy with that trade as well.

Trade is RED-HOT - An UPDATE

I’m not going to name my source, but a reliable one told me within the last few minutes that trade of Biedrins/Belinelli/Wright/7th pick was way too much for Larry Riley to handle, with him being “displeased” about the situation.

However, a new trade offer is on the table, centering on Andris Biedrins, Stephen Curry AND another draft pick.

Of course, things may change overnight, and nothing can be agreed upon until next Wednesday (because of Biedrins’ base-level contract), but it appears the Warriors are working hard to make this work. With this being said, the trade cannot be officially-league approved until JULY 8th.

Good point

Plus, we need to get rid of players. I like the bench players for the Warriors, but we have too many. At least two of Buike/Belinelli/Curry need to go, plus Wright. Nellie probably wants an 8 man rotation, 9 max. Ellis, Jackson, Maggs, Randolph, Amare, Morrow, back-up, back-up. Almost guaranteed that either Curry or Belinelli will go, as well as one of Wright or Buike, depending on whether Nellie wants to play really small or not.

Quite some statement. “As good a passer as has ever played college basketball.” I suspect that others would disagree with Knight (though not to his face unless they desired to get punched in the grill) but nonetheless, it’s a good endorsement.

No!

At most with Amare, we’ll make it to the second round. One guy won’t really change the Warriors. Dude is good, I give him that, but he is getting older. Plus he has already gone through surgeries, any more, I don’t know.

really? sure he needed microfracture surgery a few years back and it took a while for him to recover. but his only other significant injury was caused by getting poked in the eye. i dont think warrants him getting labeled “injury prone.”

well if we trade for amare

seeing that everyone is sayintrade beins, beli, wright, and possibly curry, well to be honest i cant really see monta as our point so if we loose curry i think we should make a trade to the clips for Barron, or portland for Patty Mills, or take 1 point guard of the greedy timberwolves hands.

People need to stop with the jokes involving the Minnesota Timberwolves and their point guards because it’s old already. Yeah, they drafted four of them, but two (Ty Lawson and Nick Calathes) were traded and one (Ricky Rubio) is probably staying in Spain. So, in the end, how many point guards did they end up with for the 2009-10 season? One.
