Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
I'm sure Eric Gordon is really hoping the Hornets do not match any offer

They pretty much have to. If they don't keep him the CP3 trade becomes a laughable joke.

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.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
JJ isn't great. Still not sure what you're talking about and where you're getting your argument from.

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 only thing J.J. Barea has that's superior to Steph Curry is his girlfriend.
