OPEN THREAD: Stephen Curry Press Conference @ 2pm on CSN Bay Area

Welcome to the association! (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)

UPDATE (3:34pm): Well that was um... odd. Check out Tim Kawakami's analysis: What today's Curry/Warriors presser told us: 5 minutes of nothing

=======================

UPDATE (1:46pm): My prediction doesn't look that off. See what MT"s got for you: Warriors Want Curry More Than Amare? [Inside the Warriors]

=======================

PREDICTION: The Warriors are not trading Stephen Curry to the Phoenix Suns as part of a deal for Amare Stoudemire.

Why?

Well at 2pm today the Golden State Warriors will be introducing new rookie Stephen Curry. The press conference will actually be broadcast LIVE on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area today, so use the comments section of this piece for your ongoing commentary and what-not.

This probably isn't what Suns fans wanted to hear, but I'm pretty certain a ton of Dubs fans are loving this. As always head on over to the scorching hot Bright Side of the Sun for some sunny fandom.

For you Kings fans out there two things.  1) They will also be broadcasting their intro for Tyreke Evans at 3pm on CSN Bay Area and 2) you should really be hanging out at Sactown Royalty!

The full press release from our friends at Comcast SportsNet Bay Area after the jump.

RECAP: Warriors' 2009 NBA Draft Day - Stephen Curry & Amar'e?

Photo

More photos » by Jason DeCrow - AP

What a day! What a day!

If you haven't been around a computer, television, radio, or friends in the last 24 hours, here's a quick recap. At #7 in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Warriors drafted Davidson guard, Stephen Curry, son of Dell Curry. They had no 2nd round pick. Also, the Dubs are heavily rumored to be involved in a trade of Andris Biedrins, Brandan Wright, and Marco Belinelli for Amare Stoudemire. Some rumors have Kelenna Azubuike and Stephen Curry included.

Even if you don't agree with the moves, you at least had a little fun watching, waiting, anticipating the what the Warriors would do.

GSOM was going crazy yesterday, I don't know when the last time we had that many comments in a single day. We had a lot of comments on the OPEN THREAD: Pre-NBA Draft, every pick prior to #7, #1 Blake Griffin, #2 Hasheem Thabeet, #3 James Harden, #4 Tyreke Evans, #5 Ricky Rubio, and #6 Jonny Flynn, the Warriors own pick, the 7th pick Stephen Curry, the rest of the first round, and a recap of the Warriors day plus 2nd round coverage. Whew!

There were a few thoughts and hopes swirling in the back of my mind as the day went on. Hit the jump for some thoughts or check out what others are writing across the WWW.
