GSW Draft Pick Watch

Kentucky puts odd characthers in the NBA
Dinner Bel Mel
Antoine Shimmy Walker
Demarcus Crybaby Cousins
John Overhyped Wall
Scott Big Ears Padgett
Sam don't call me jordan Bowie
The Under Kanter

Thought PKM would enjoy this. I found it on another site.

Favors would have been my first choice for one of 'the picks' I'd be curious who the other three are for you. My three are Favors, Kanter, and Burks. You probably include Hayward, but to me he's more of a Ginobili, not a superstar, but a player who makes things happen on the court. Then again, I'm pretty sure some people consider Ginobili a superstar, and others probably think Hayward is a superstar in the making, so we'll see. (man, ugly game)

Ginobli, one of three key players on team with multiple championships. He used to be one of my favorite players before the flopping got ridiculous. I'd be be very impressed to see Burks or Hayward match his success.

That would be a turrible team, I agree. Actually, I'm here for the Jazz. My posts substantiate that truth.

I don't think you're right. If this were the case who would be the representative for the pick in the lottery draw? Would it be KOC sitting there crossing his fingers that he doesn't win the lottery and therefore lose the pick back to GS, or would it be a GS representative praying that they win the lottery so that they don't have to send the pick away. I've never seen a scenario anything like that in the lottery and I think that's because the ownership transfers based on the original pick position without regard to the lottery.

These protected picks happen all the time and a lot of them are "Top-3" protected. No reason to do that UNLESS you're protecting yourself from finishing just out of the playoffs, but then winning one of the 3 spots in the lottery.

I guarantee you that the draft pick is POST-lottery. Before the lottery is held, there are no official draft positions, just chances for the lottery drawing.

You are probably right. Well lets go #8 pick!

I've changed my tune on this. I agree, which is why I'm rooting for them to lose. Unless Curry is practically done for the year, then I think they will struggle mightily. Either way, I will root for them to be bad since I don't like Mark Jackson, I hate how their team is built, I think their ownership is stupid, and whenever it is the Jazz get this pick, I'd like it to be higher rather than lower.

Yeah if Curry's ankle is chronically injured they may be one of the sixth worst teams. That would suck so hopefully that ankle gets helped by the new shoes Nike is developing.
 
Bump.
Huge 4th quarter comeback to tie and then a win in OT for GS against the Lebronians. Both DWade and LeBron missed 3-pointers in the last 35 seconds of OT that would have tied the game. Kudos to Nate Robinson for a terrific game off the bench and Dorell Wright with a double double and 53 mins. They'll be toast for their next game, but a win is a win.

Mods - should this thread be stickied?


And yes, this is a case of wanting GS to suck, but not too badly. I know it's only 10 games in, but GS had the 3rd worst record. Now they're right there mongst the 6-12 crowd. Need them to keep winning every third game or so.
 
GSW is tied for 8th with Milwaukee and Memphis. Toronto, Sacramento, Cleveland and Phoenix are still ahead of them.
 
Here is a list of the teams with a worse record than GS:

Boston
Milwaukee
Phoenix
Toronto
Sacramento
New Orleans
Detroit
New Jersey
Charlotte
Washington

Only Boston and Milwaukee are surprises to me. As it sits right now the Jazz would lose their own pick and get the 11th pick via GS.

Just thought that I would update everyone.

With that GS talk if GS offered us Curry for say harris would you do it with Currys bad ankle and all

With the way that Nate Robinson is playing for them maybe Curry seems a little more expendable at this point. This might be the time to go hard to get him.

I'd gladly take him off their hands. The Jazz could probably just sit him for the rest of the year, too. Which honestly, I don't think would be a bad idea for his sake. That ankle could be a career ender if he or those around him don't start taking it seriously.

Even with a bum ankle, GS is going to ask for a good haul for him, so what would you give up to get him?

We'd have to give up one of our bigs (Favors, Kanter, Al, or Paul), so which one?

BTW, I'm all for getting him. I'd give up Hayward (nice that he had a good game against them) and Al to get him, and we'd probably have to involve a 3rd team.

The salaries make it really hard to do, but here's the best I could come up with:

I think this would make us worse this year, but we'd be an extremely dangerous team down the road.

That is not a bad trade at all. I think that GSW would still want something like a future first or second round pick and they will probably ask for their own back this year. In order to get Curry it meant that we lost CJ and AJ then I do it without question. I also like Biedrins as an option off the bench.
 
Aren't you guys nervous about Curry's ankle? G.S. can't ask for a big haul while Curry's long-term health is in question. I'd love the have Curry but what margodydek suggested seems more worthy of a fully healthy Curry.
 
Yell I would be extremely cautious in a trade for Curry because ankles rarely get better especially a serious one.
