Rumours are circulating that Colangelo wants to move up to get Curry

2. What is Bryan Colangelo Going To Do?

Last year, Colangelo stole the spotlight when he managed to move T.J. Ford, Rasho Nestrovic and his No. 17 pick for Jermaine O’Neal, causing massive excitement on the NBA forums and in Toronto fan clubs. What’s he got in store for us this year?

Shawn Marion, Anthony Parker, Andrea Bargnani, Chris Bosh and the No. 9 pick are all at his disposal. It’s apparently leaking out that Colangelo is going after Stephen Curry, but so are Golden State and the Knicks, who draft ahead of the Raptors at No. 7 and 8. Nobody packages trades like Colangelo so keeping your ear to the rails that pass through Toronto is going to be an interesting tag-along right up until draft day.

3. Where Is Stephen Curry Going?

Only Curry knows how good he will be in the NBA. He’s an undersized, 6-foot-3 shooting guard parading as a point-guard. He’ll be a defensive liability due to his sub-par athleticism and only his shooting can save him. As much as I like Curry’s energy, his vibe and his go-getterness, I can’t help but think of Adam Morrison and J.J. Redick when I think of Curry. He’s projected as the seventh pick to Golden State, but lord knows that Toronto and New York are trying to figure out how to grab him. For two teams that are already undersized and outclassed in the backcourt, I’m just not sure why they find Curry so damn appealing

What would you say to this??

I'd say Colangelo needs to lay off the sauce, if that is true.

AR1815 · 06-24-2009, 11:51 PM

I really hope not; he's not gonna be much better than Redick. He is undersized and is exclusively a shooter.

I don't know, i just saw ESPN talking about him and they said he's a great shooter/Ball handler/Passer and has a great assist to TO ratio. His main downside is he's undersized.

I really want to believe this is a smokescreen of some sort. I want no part of Curry. Especially if they have to move up to get him. If BC wants to move up I'd hope it would be for Rubio or Harden.

10gizzle · 06-25-2009, 12:01 AM

Yeah, I just don't seem him fitting as well as some other players we could grab...

I'll take Jrue Holiday over him...

thriller92 · 06-25-2009, 01:18 AM

BC wants every player in the draft from the last 50 years.

last thing we need is another shooter
Rubio>Curry
if you're going to trade up, atleast make it worth the cost

The cost to get Rubio would be Bosh or Calderon?? And the cost to move up a few spots won't! But i'd rather try and get Derozan/Holiday/Flynn or even Johnson!
