#Warriors offer for Melo would be Stephen Curry, Biedrins, and picks...GSW unsure tho about parting w Curry
I have been happily entertaining all the Melo threads, but the line in the sand has been drawn. A recent fanshot from mekanikal actually cites a league source saying the Warriors could offer Curry and Biedrins and draft picks for Melo. This is absolutely shocking. It's one thing to give up Ellis and B. Wright, but Curry? Curry AND Biedrins? Curry AND Biedrins AND draft picks? I hope you'll all join with me in saying WTF, and putting your expressions of anger on this page.
We have a duty to express our feelings about the badness of this potential deal. We must make sure JOE LACOB and LARRY RILEY understand that this move would crush the hopes of GSW fans and the future of the franchise. Please join with me to make sure we express our voices clearly and loudly!!! We must prevail!!!

HELL NO!
Trade Curry for anyone other than top 5 players in the league (Dah-wight Howard, Bron Bron, Wade, Paul, Durantula) and I will QUIT the Warriors.
Sorry, this is nothing like your post
This is a call to action, with a poll attached. And your high horse is getting tired, GET OFF! =)

Don’t believe it and don’t worry, there absolutely zero chance the warriors trade Binky till after his rookie contract expires.
Lights please, lights please, turn off the lights.

wow
I agree. Curry is the hope. The next Nash. No way I want to watch the kind of ball we’d play after swapping Curry for Melo.
Beans is negotiable. But only if we get some kind of assurance from management that at least next year they’d try to sign a top level center. Gasol, Gortat, Oden… OK? But Lee didn’t come out here to play center.
But let’s give Riley some credit. He is too smart for this. Heck, he wouldn’t give up Curry for Stoudemire – and that was way before Curry proved himself. Curry HAS to be untouchable.
Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
To me, Curry is not untouchable
But pretty darn close. Only 5 players I trade him for in no particular order: Durant, LeBron, Howard, Paul, Wade.
…really? You think he’s the 6th most valuable asset in the NBA…?

If it is framed with "Building a championship team for the next decade"
I could comfortably say yes.
They could certainly be argument with another 10 players or so, but those are the clearcut 5 that I have no arguments against trading Curry for.
I’d trade Curry for Deron Williams, maybe Rondo, no one really comes to mind at the moment.
But if guys like Kobe, Nash, etc were younger, then I’d pull the trigger.
Yeah i wouldn’t trade Curry for Kobe at this point either.
If Nash was 2 years younger, and we needed to replace Baron i’d do it. Nash is really good.

I would agree with D.Will
But I think it’s easier to build a team around Curry then Rondo or Rose.
Definately not for Kobe, Nash, Duncan, or any other aged player at this point in their respective careers.
It's questionable
Would i trade Curry for nash or curry today? No. If I had a deep playoff team and was one player away, i might reconsider. It’s all about when your team’s ‘window’ is
I don’t necessarily disagree with your premise, I just think the list should be bigger. There are a number of good young players throughout the NBA at the moment.

Probably better
If only was replaced with atleast. =)

Please include a poll on your FP posting
And can you reveal the names/addressess of the people that vote yes so we know who to lynch?
Definitely a poll...

Wow, you don't get much attention at home do you?
What if Mike is giving Evans props for his call to action, analysis, and poll?
Vs. you posting a link?
you posted a fanshot
those don’t last too long. I want to make sure we get a poll going ASAP, and make our voices heard loudly in opposition.
(Also, I acknowledged your fanshot.)

Who said yes!!???!?!?!?
I would become a Nuggets fan if this trade goes down UNLESS we find a way to get CP3 as well which I highly doubt. Curry is the face of the franchise and it would call for a riot if he traded away for possibly a one year rental. Let’s not forget they’re asking for our ONLY legit center.
I’d say we’re overreacting to one Twitter feed, but yeah, who the hell said “yes?”

Help - I dont follow Twitter
Im having a hard time understanding who the source is for this information. The Warriors “would” trade Curry. What does that mean? That a source confirms we have made an offer? Or that is what Denver wants?
What makes this more deserving of attention than, say one of the many, many trade ideas that pop up on this site every day?
We didnt go after Amare because of Curry, and he has only developed quicker than we thought he would, it just doesnt make sense for us to go through with this trade.
(and we already have a sg who can put up a lot of shots and be a top 5 ppg scorer in the league anyway).
by WestCoastWarrior on Aug 31, 2010 3:32 PM PDT reply actions
the source is likely talking about trade scenarios he's been hearing
my guess is the Warriors management is floating these ideas around to see how they are received…we need to make clear that this particular deal is not received well at all!
In that case...
Hell no!!
and
Shame on you for even considering!!

The tweet originated from Jon Rothstein (www.twitter.com/jonrothstein) who is a “College Basketball Insider for the MSG Network, Talk Show Host for 1050 ESPN NY, Studio Host for Compass Media Networks.”
I actually replied to the one about Curry and asked if this was his guess or if it was from a league source and he replied “league source…”

Thnx
Way to keep digging. It just seems misleading because it says we “would” give up Curry, and also that we are unsure about parting with Curry.
by WestCoastWarrior on Sep 1, 2010 8:37 AM PDT up reply actions
Don’t give them Curry. Don’t give them Biedrins. Don’t give them a combination of the two. Don’t trade Monta + Biedrins. Maybe trade Monta, but that’s it. I would take Ellis and Biedrins at 18 million combined than Melo around 18 million a season. Melo has never had as good a season as Ellis did in 07-08. He has never had a season like Biedrins did from 06-07, 07-08, and 08-09. They are both individually better than Melo unless they have a career worst years.

they wouldn't take just Monta though
no chance in hell. not for Melo at least who, while isn’t near worth what curry is, still seems a bitter undervalued in this thread. I mean it sounds like people don’t even want Melo and I think he would be the missing piece assuming we dont give up too much for him.
TRADE:
Monta Ellis, Dorell Wright, pick(s) for MELO
which leaves us with…
PG – Stephen Curry, Jeremy Lin, Charlie Bell
SG – Reggie Williams, backup?
SF – Carmelo Anthony, Vlad
PF – David Lee, Brandan Wright, Epke Udoh
C – Andris Bidrins, Dan Gadzuric
OR
TRADE: Monta Ellis, Brandan Wright, pick(s) for MELO
which leaves us with…
PG – Stephen Curry, Jeremy Lin, Charlie Bell
SG – Reggie Williams, backup? Dorell Wright if he can play the 2?
SF – Carmelo Anthony, Dorell Wright, Vlad
PF – David Lee, Udoh
C – Andris Biedrins, Gadzuric
WIN

WTF!!!!!!! Curry’s the only one that’s untouchable on this team. Deal’s off the table.
by Jason Caffey FTW on Aug 31, 2010 4:01 PM PDT reply actions
Thats how Im feel'n
It just doesnt make sense. We didnt make an Amare move because of Curry, why would we make a Melo move (with Curry now being a year older and proven).
by WestCoastWarrior on Aug 31, 2010 5:02 PM PDT up reply actions
how about
just hell no to that deal. i’d still take melo in a heartbeat if the deal was monta + wright + expirings/picks
Impossible for Warriors to agree to this ....... hopefully
Curry for Carmelo …. no thanks. Carmelo on our team & then Monta & Lin running the point … hopefully this is just a joke.
Wow, you guys overreact to a non-credible source....
You know I spit technique to the freshest freak

Why would the Warriors want to try and win with Moped and Melo?
by WestCoastWarrior on Sep 1, 2010 8:39 AM PDT reply actions
Moped + Melo?
Let’s just trade Curry to get Mags back at a max contract. That trade would be psychotic.
Cut.
hella no!!!!!
Curry is staying here. Trade Monta instead. He don’t want to be here anyways.
