I know there will be an overwhelming majority on this board, but I'm just curious on your takes. It seems that the national media has curry as an all star spot locked, but I think Lilliard is definitely more deserving.
If I was sure Currys ankle wasn't going to be a problem in the future I'd take Curry. Even knowing Currys ankle is always going to be a ? I'd still...... nah fuck it ill go full homer and take Lillard. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Lillard is great but without the injury concerns for Curry I would likely take him. His shooting is just so scary and his passing is better. Lillard though is healthy and should keep getting better.
Was discussing this with a friend and I couldn't come up with many point guards I would trade Lillard for. Most of it boiled down to age or injury history. Lillard vs. anyone else can be argued. Curry - ankle Irving - injuries Westbrook - possibly knees Parker - age Paul - age Rondo - injuries Rose - knees It may be the homer in me. It may be the fact that he hasn't missed a game. It may just be that he's the best for the team long term.
Trust me, when this is all over, Lillard will be considered one of the great PGs to ever play the game. He's really that good
Lillard is blowing up into an explosive scorer with, and most importantly, the clutch gene. Easy choice.
Well last season we would have put Daren Williams in that conversation and he should be. I blame Kidd and I still think DWill is a fantastic point guard with a bad coach. I expect him to be back in the conversation!
Golden State will regret dumping their bench. Losing Jack was huge. They had a solid bench last year.
Dame. And I wouldn't think twice about it. Curry is a straight shooter, but I'm not convinced he makes his entire team better. Dame is just a playmaker, in my opinion.
Lillard is way way better and it's not even close. Lillard may win MVP (or MVP of the Finals even) one day. Curry never will.
Watching that team with Iggy on it an when he was injured is like Night and Day. They really only have two players who can dribble and create for others in the starting unit an thats Curry/Iggy. If one of them is hurt you can attack the lone ball Handler all day. Losing Jack seems to have hurt a bit because they could use a guy off the bench who can control the offense an create for others but I don't the Warriors could afford Jack at what he wanted to be paid.
They should've passed on Iggy and re-signed Jack and Landry. They were a near WCF team with those guys last season and Barnes blossoming in the starting SF spot. They had a horrible offseason and are now a lotto team. Sad.
I think they are comparable. Curry I think is the more elusive guard. Damian is the stronger guard. They both have incredible outside shots and they both do a nice job of carrying their relative teams. They both need work on their D. If I had to give an edge right now. Curry due to his experience and where has been.
I like Iggy over Jack an Landry. Iggy is a better player on both sides of the court then both those guys and a better playmaker as well. I like Barnes coming off the bench as a stretch four or three, keeping Laundry when you want his minutes to go to Barnes isn't an enticing option. I actually like the idea of them moving Lee, if its possible, for some more bench assets and starting Barnes at the 4 and going small.
