Curry has been the best back up guard we’ve had in ten years! We won’t keep him because another team will want him!

One thought I have is a sign & trade to help us bring Aaron Gordon here.

That's not saying much. Curry fucking sucks. Yes, he may be better than Nolan Smith, he may be better than Taurean Green. But he is not a legit NBA player. He's basically a better shooting, but worse at everything else, Napier. He flat out does not belong on a Playoff roster.

C'mon man, this has been such a bad take from you all year.

No, it really hasn't. He had a "good" stretch when we had a stretch of games against bad teams. Curry is just not a good player. Unless you consider Shabazz Napier a good player. He can sometimes shoot, and he can sometimes steal the ball, but mostly he sucks on offense, and gets blown by on defense.

You're being ridiculous like you have been all year when it comes to Curry. You do realize there is an area between a slightly better Nolan Smith and being a "good player" right? To think he doesn't even deserve a roster spot for the minimum is just a horrible basketball take and questions any credibility you have. You're a good poster except when it comes to this weird fascination with hating Curry.
 
Curry will be given an offer sheet that we simply cannot afford to match; that’s how good he is. Simons will have to grow quickly as I see many minutes for him next year.

Hood will be the focus and we will have a shot at Kanter. Based upon Leonards play however, he’s already signed, so realistically Kanter will head elsewhere.

Turner, Harkless and Aminu must be replaced. Going to be difficult.

And CJ, and Stotts, and really everyone on the team not Named Jusuf or Dame probably need to be replaced.

Were you watching? We made it to the WCF’s without Nurkic. Wholesale changes are not necessary nor even realistic.

It’s about Aminu, Harkless and Turner and acquiring a Damon Green-like player.

Watched all but 2-3 games all season long. I was definitely watching. Our team knows they cant beat GS, so its either make a lot of changes to change that or wait til Steph retires I guess...
 
Curry isn't terrible but he won't be worth what some other team will give him. He's easily replaceable. I don't think he's as good at defense as some here do. I actually think he's pretty poor defensively. He only has one offensive skill and he wasn't very helpful all playoffs except for one game.

honestly, we wont get one. the team we have, when healthy, is pretty fuckin good. our bench could be starters (albeit on a shitty team, but still) on a different team. i think, full heartily, our team could have made the finals if we were full strength. for that reason, we should keep the team intact.

I got as far as re-sign...Curry. FUCK THAT. That dude sucks and I would not even pay him the vet min to return. Go lead a team to the lottery, go play in Europe, go play in Chine - but DO NOT play for the Blazers!

You're trippin. Really.
 
Curry isn't talented enough to be a great starter, but he's an excellent reserve. He's a passable defender (i.e. he doesn't kill on you on that end of the floor), a great shooter and is a competent ball-handler and passer. That skillset is immensely valuable in a team dynamic, even if he's not a world-beater as an individual talent. I don't think Portland will be able to match the best offers he gets, and it'll be a shame to lose him.

I stand by my comment. Curry has been our best back up.

that's fine and your prerogative. People stand beside their own bad hot takes all the time. I have myself. Didn't make me right

most of those players on that list I gave you had better seasons for Portland than Curry did this year
 
I think Aaron Gordon looks good right now... probably don’t have to give up as much
 
Has anyone worked out what Aaron Gordon is? He kind of lacks the skills to be a SF but is shooting a really low % so presumably he doesn't play like a low post guy. I think Orlando would jump at a Gordon-for-CJ trade, which should mean we shouldn't do it.
 
I don't want Aaron Gordon....he's a highlight reel who doesn't produce at that level game to game. We can do better than Aaron Gordon to build a contender
