u never know...with the changes to the lotto odds that were made, u don’t have to be the worst of the worst to get a very good pick, and if they do want to be on the level of these sh*t tier teams, all they gotta do is sit Curry out with “injuries” and they’ll be absolutely horrible Lakers were the 11th worst team last year and got the 4th pick...NOP jumped up to 1st
That just shows a pure shooter with mediocre other abilities ain't going anywhere without a great supporting cast. Should have expanded his game in younger years.
Even if Curry sits out they still have Russell and Draymond those are two all stars other teams dont even have 1. Plus, if they are horrible then I'm sure GSW GM will trade Russ for more help, they arent gonna tank unless the whole team gets injured. Are you in favor of the Rox tanking right now and just sitting Harden for the whole season? Since you think its easy for GSW to get a top pick then it should be easier for the Rox right? They havent even won a ring for more than 2 decades whats waiting 1 more year?
Are you serious? Curry doesnt just shoot he has great 1v1 and creation abilities. You are acting like he is Ryan Scrubberson wtf. The only thing Curry sucks at is defense and even then he isnt a huge defensive liability he is just mediocre to below average. When's the last time a pure shooter with mediocre other abilities won unanimous MVP?
No, his defense is a pretty damn big liability and it is being exposed without stars surrounding him at all time.
Don’t think they are intentionally tanking. The team is just flat out garbage right now. DLo is not a good compliment to Steph and more significant is that Steph is not really the kind of player that can carry garbage teammates. He’s just not physically capable of doing that. Obviously, he lacks physical strength but when that is coupled with the lack of elite speed and elite one on one skills, his insane shooting becomes less of a threat due to lack of open looks. Ideally, Curry needs other very good shooters so defenses can’t zone in on him. He also needs a lot of help defensively to make up for his deficiencies on that end (not for a lack of trying). I have always suspected Steph to be a product of his team’s system rather than a truly great player. He’s probably the greatest system player ever, but he’s just not physically built to carry a crappy team the way Harden, LeBron, and other truly transcendent players can.
Please don’t compare the Rockets to what GS is right now, that doesn’t make any sense. We are not in the same situation as them. The Rockets are a contender while GS is a fringe playoff team at best this year.
Yeah but according to you its so easy to tank for picks thats why you are so worried right? Just tank, flip that pick for a better player ez. But the reality is there are reasons why both Rox and GSW won't pack it up and tank unless they got no other choice. That's why your fears are kinda groundless GSW wont shelve draymond and Curry they are gonna try and stay alive till Klay comes back. Losing to OKC is bad but OKC is still a decent team with Steven Adams, Cp3 and Gallo who was prob the Clippers' best player last season. If they lose by 20 pts to the Hornets or Wizards ok then they are tanking. GSW has 3 allstars Rox have 2. Nobody outside Houston considers Harden better is than Curry and most people agree Draymond is better than WB. In a lot of non Rox fans' eyes both GSW and Houston are in the same situation. Cowherd doesnt even think Houston will make the playoffs and lots of the power rankings didnt have Houston top 4.
Hmm, I didn’t know the Pelicans were some great team. I guess GS was gonna lose every game this year. Keep reaching tho.
I never said they were gonna tank and get a top pick. Matter of fact, my 1st post in this thread was that u don’t open up a new arena, charge ridiculous prices, and then tank. I also called them a fringe playoff team. Your reading comprehension is straight trash. Now you’re just wasting my time.
Yes your first post is they weren't gonna tank and got a top pick but your succeeding posts were: So I guess you never said they were gonna tank and get a top pick except when you said it would be better for them to tank and get a top pick. Check yourself, before you wreck yourself.
omg dude...I said it would be better for them to tank...that doesn’t mean that I think they actually will c’mon man, u should be better than this...read what is actually being posted
