we REALLY need a trade honestly, but for who, I don't know.
Wow, that sucks. (The unsigned jersey) The thing is, and what tilts the balance towards curry for me is the fact that , although they need someone of the defensive versatility like Brown offers, todays team depends on offense. Granted, Pop wants to improve the defense but I dont see how Brown would impact the overall Team D. He would be a liability at the end of the day because he is a liability in the halfcourt. Curry, on the other hand, offers size , toughness, (hopefully) hunger, and would breath oxygen into the post (something that is starting to lack along Timmys transition.). The offense with a motivated curry would exlpode IMO. Besides, it should be evident that they are already looking for a 3rd center given that tiago may hit the market next offseason.

gary neal today...i dont care how many points he scored, he had like 4 stupid fouls which look like was all caught on repeated moves by iggy and brewer....
how can u focus on defense when pop doesnt field his best players on the court, whether its the starters or players of the bench...just stupid combination of rotations...
well this sucks. Curry's dunk was a no show
did parker play, tbh?

wow - you clearly did not watch any nugget games last year.
btw i didnt get a chance to watch the game but reading this game thread i expected currys line to read 6-8 fg for 15 points. at least.
something like that based on the posts in this thread.
Chicken Nuggets gunna be ok I reckon.
Having good post offense also helps your defense. It can break up the other team's offensive rhythm and it also allows you to get your defense set.
Al Jefferson seems very reasonable...
if by post offense you mean bangin' and pushin', that's one thing, but blair and splitter (the second especially) have terrific post moves..
Blair and Splitter don't have many post moves at all. Splitter is average in the post, hardly has any moves. He keeps trying the same move most of the time.
Anyway, Curry is the one I want. I think Pop should have a sit down with him and see if he is committed to getting in shape, getting his conditioning up and then staying there even if he doesn't get court time.
imho splitter is only behind scola and timmy for old school post moves, in the league.. he has that dribble, footwork and cold blood to come to the rim at will.. he has a lot of other flaws in his game, but that isn't one of them.. However sayin' he's behind only two people ain't sayin' much since post moves are basically a lost art in today's nba..
Raven I'm going to disagree with you, on Splitter and his post moves. Tiago, wants to have post moves. At one point someone started to teach him the basics. While he was overseas his size and athleticism allowed his rudimentary post abilities to work quite well especially in lower level leagues. To some extent he wasn't as effective of a post player at Bilbao, and he hasn't been in the NBA. I think he has a good start but for top tier leagues he needs both more polish and some expansion to his post moves, and a bit more strength in both his legs and his upper body to take a bit of contact without moving out of position and balance. I didn't see this years preseason games but from watching Curry in the past he really had about the same level of post moves as Splitter, but because of his massive size (he's huge now he was more so.) defenders were unable to muscle him as effectively, and he didn't show continued up and under attempts because once he started through to the basket the only things possibly stopping him were whistles, and perhaps a couple of top end centers.
I think Tiago needs more practice and confidence to improve his post moves. The team has to actually look for him in the post. That's why it may be useful playing with TD because he would get defended by the 4. With a height advantage it would be easier to practice his post moves.
