Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

I like Barea but in no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy is he better than Curry. Come on man give it up.
I guess. I just don't get why I have to accept that Curry is so much better or better at all. Why is my opinion not being the same so wrong? People get all mad, I'm actually literally laughing at you guys. I could understand if Curry just won the league scoring title or MVP or something huge but he hasn't. All you have to go by is opinion and both of their stat sheets which means basically nothing unless JJ had horrible stats or Curry had GOAT stats. It's like saying Wendys is better than McDonalds and arguing with me over it.

Is it really that big of a deal? Maybe I'm overreacting but telling me to gtfo, calling me names and shit makes me think I'm making you guys legit upset over this. There's something wrong with you people.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

Because Barea isn't even close to being on the same level as Curry. That's like comparing Rudy Gay to Leborn James, it's just on a different scale of talent.
When did I ever say Rudy Gay was on the level of Lebron James? Nobody is saying that. I'm putting a young player in Stephen Curry who has potential to break out of his shell on the same level as of right now with JJ Barea when Barea has really been hitting his stride and signed to a nice contract with the T'Wolves.

Somebody posted examples of how he thinks the Warriors are a better team player to player comparison and when it comes down to it analytically JJ is going to help a team win just as much as Curry is as of right now until Curry can break out of his shell and become the next big superstar future hall of famer like some of you that obviously think he is. Which I doubt he'll ever become by the way.

47% from the field, 44% from 3, and 90% from the line. No player in league history has entered the NBA with this type of efficiency. You are selling Curry way short. He is a future All Star without question, something Barea will never even come close to approaching.

I'm really loving how the Hornets are looking now by adding, TheBrow, Rivers and Darius Miller. Miller is an absolute steal for them in the second round.

I like Rivers a lot but I'm not sold on him. Not all that athletic, and IMO he doesn't have a true NBA position. He will have to play point because he isn't big enough or athletic enough to play the 2, and he average like 1.7 assists at Duke and more turnovers than assists. He has potential, but he will be a bit of a project while he develops his PG skills.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

People like to make assumptions like they know now all along that Curry will be this great player so my opinion is whack but I'm not concerned about those people. I'm focused on right now and right now Barea is playing just as good and Curry doesn't have much to speak for. I'm sure if you asked Curry who's better he'd say he was but at the same time he'd probably have the maturity to realize that JJ is great and that he has a long way to go before he can claim to be what you all think he'll be.

It's like saying that Anthony Davis is a top 10 player in the league because he was just drafted tonight. In time yes, maybe but it's going to take time and with Curry he hasn't produced nearly enough yet for me to even put him over somebody like Barea who I think is great and have so much love for watching him play the game. If Curry was so good he'd be that good already and we wouldn't be calling him underrated.

If anything all this proves is that JJ is indeed the most underrated player and the most disrespected one.

Every season Curry has been in the league he has been more productive and efficient than ANY single season Barea has had.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

This past season Curry averaged 15/5/3/2 on 49/46/81 shooting. The worst numbers of his career so far.

J.J. Barea put up 11/6/3/1 on 40/37/78 shooting. The best numbers of his career.

Yeah Curry hasn't his prime yet but that doesn't change the fact that he's better than Barea.

Who would you rather have Anthony Davis or Shelden Williams?

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

Barea isn't that good. he is an average bench player that plays a role. Curry doesn't have to improve at all to be better than him because he already is. His stats are better, he plays better, and anyone that knows anything about basketball considers him better than Barea.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

The Rockets are a joke:
Luis Scola
Donatas Motiejunas
Terrence Jones
Royce White
Marcus Morris
Patrick Patterson
Jon Brockman
Jon Leuer

Oh this is just their PF's.
I told the Rockets to die 2 days ago & they did on draft night...At least when Sacramento & Charlotte traffic jam certain positions, it's with semi productive players



Gordon is gonna be one sad man playing alongside Rivers :lmao

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

I wonder if Hornets are planning not to keep Gordon. I think that would be a terrible mistake, seeing as Gordon is a fantastic scorer and can be a star and great sidekick or even superstar(pretty big stretch, but it is possible). I think they should have drafted Marshall over him, he isn't fast or athletic or anything, but he would have been able to find Gordon and Davis on breaks and just set them up in general.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

They should have drafted Kendall. I dont think Gordon should leave. Play with Davis, Rivers maybe another lotto pick next year and with a young nucleus, make some noise. Unless he is very impatient than go to Indy I Guess. Though I dont see many reasons to leave.

Rockets will obviously trade many of their PF's
