[...] even work out for the Warriors he wanted not to land there so badly, and Dell Curry was none too pleased about his son falling to the team in Oakland. It doesn’t make sense for Golden State to draft [...]

I think that we’re giving up way too much for Amare. Keep Steph Curry! Our backcourt will be virtually ungaurdable with him and Monte in it. That would give us a slasher that can get into the lane and draw contact and can also finish plus we’ll have the long range snipers in Steph and Morrow to kick out to when the lane collapses. I would give up Beidrins. Amare draws the double team, Andris doesn’t. I like the guy but he has no post game. Thanks for all your hard work, loyalty and dedication but, you gotta go. Marco still has upside. I think in the right situation he could start to really blossom and who better to play with than Steve Nash. I like Wright as a back-up to Randolph but we can always find one in free agency. Having Amare and Randolph in the front court gives us something intimidating. Amare would have to agree to work out a long term deal before I would even consider entertaining this deal. Andris, BW, Belli for Amare sounds decent. But not with Steph Curry in the mix! Unless we get PHX’s #1 Earl Clark. I still would take Curry over Clark but Clark is no chump! And bringing Amare to the team along with Clark would give us a solid stable of athletic big men.

mullin couldn’t pull this trade off. he failed getting garnett. i will give props to riley/nelson if they make the amare trade and also keep curry. but again, these are the warriors. it will never happen.

Amare isn’t a true center. beans is good I think if you pair them up it’d be vicious

Yea I agree with lufty I souldn’t trade the house for amare. I’d like to see him come don’t get me wrong but not for the price i’m hearing. The key of trades are to make your team better by adding talent not subtracting. Ife we trade for amare we gotta key our key players. Thats been the problem with the warriors since day one instead of adding to their team they get rid of the good players on thir team. I say find a deal that allows us to keep andris montae and curry and get amare. The suns are desperate to trade him and its obvious to see hes not interested in coming back to phoenix so they should be able to pull it off. I know mullin could do it but im not sure about riley. I’d like to see if they could pull it off by trading marco, buike, bw, and magette. The trade machine said it’d work but will phoenix take a deal like that? Throw in a next year 1st rounder and I think so.

They finally did something right for once but I have a feeling that drunk Nellie will trade Curry for over worked/broken down Amare. I would take Amare 2 years ago but not now especially when they want the young core of AB, BW, Marco and Curry… way too much!!!
But we all know what direction this franchise is going “downward” until they get rid of “drunk Nellie” and “basketball guru or he thinks he is Rowell”.

Love the pick. Curry could be that point we need with Monte staying at off guard. BUT, all this could be for nothing with one stupid trade. I would love to get Amare but the W’s are giving up way to much. I do not want to see Biedrins go. I have seen this guy get better and better each year. He puts up a double / double just about every night. Biedrins is one of the few centers that can play in the game. If there was a way to get Amare and not let Biedrins go then I’m all for it. Give up Crap Jack. Not sure way you W’s fans like this guy so much. Does it really matter??? As long as Don (no D) Nelly runs ths team the W’s will do nothing. But hey, I’t a great time out right???? LOL

It only makes sense for him to stay if they don’t try and make a point guard out of him.

I am good with the Curry draft.

I would not trade for Amare, no disrespect, but my feeling is that the W’s have so much young talent to trade with that getting a big time rebounding four would be relatively easy.
Amare has too many unknowns, physically and emotionally, he is inconsistent; it seems difficult to keep him engaged.

If Monta and Curry can play together they could be devastating. If not there is always a market for either of them.

We have not seen this Warriors team yet. Last year all the injuries may have been a blessing in disguise as we got to see the development of some of the younger players. But with the players on the roster now this can be a dangerous team. I never hear mention that Capn’ Jack has been playing hurt the past two years, now he has been working out and is going to have a monster year. Ant is getting BIG in the upper body and will be more experienced. Morrow will make significant forward strides. Monta will be significantly better and if he has not been alienated by Nelson and Riley.
B. Wright, J. Davidson, R. Kurz, playing Nellie’s style would seem to indicate a need for depth as well.

Just in terms of physical talent, ability and potential these Warriors don’t need much, if anything at all. I would like to see the Warriors keep most of the roster and again maybe add a veteran rebounder who can play with his back to the basket and pass out of there.

I keep hearing that relations between Nelson/Riley and Monta are not good. If this is the case then all bets are off, without cohesion between Jack, Monta and the coaches this team will be awful. Otherwise I have to agree with Stephen, Monta, Morrow, Turiaf, and AR this can be a very, very dangerous team and I for one am looking forward to a full healthy roster playing together . . . oh yeah, this is going to be fun.

I think AB, BW and Marco is enough for Amare, given his locker room questions, defensive reputation, and injury history. Obviously the Suns don’t think so. The Arizona newspaper, azcentral has a bunch of pictures of Curry up on their page, talking about “the future”. They hope one day Curry’s number will “hang from the rafters”.

Funny stuff. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

The Dubs can’t just go out and get a veteran PG to replace him either. They’ve committed to give Monte a chance at the PG position. Curry is perfect there as a backup until they conclude that Monte does or doesn’t work there.
