2nd best SG in the game at the time doesn't mean anything. We can play that game.
Steph- best pg in the game. 2 time MVP in his prime.
Klay- top 3 sg and one of the best defensive wing players in the league. Top 3 shooter ever. In his prime.
Draymond- best pf in the league (ad is a center)and most versatile defender in the league.
Don't you shit on the good name of Donyell Marshall like that and think you can get away with.Wade, who was Miami's best player and maybe the best teammate LeBron has ever had has never been on Steph's level. They have 2 of the top 3 players in the game bro. It's not even close to the same thing.
Prime Wade isn't on Steph's level. Period. The Wade LeBron played with was post prime anyway.
Agree to disagree. 2 different players to compare IMO.
Wade was a slasher and a better defender.
Curry has terrific vision and crazy range.
I wouldn't say one is definitively better than the other. If we are going to play the "rings game" Wade won one by himself, one with Shaq and two with Lebron. Curry will probably get there, but as you noted he has more help so he can't be as good as Wade (I don't really believe that).
What alternate reality did Wade win one himself?
I'll go ahead and say Wade was a much better player than Curry.
The perception is Curry is just a spot up shooter I guess, for some reason
Percentages? I'm on mobile.Player A
30.1 pts/game, 5.4 rebs, 6.7 assists (age 27)
23.8 pts/game, 4.3 rebs, 7.7 assists (age 26)
Player B
30.2 pts/game, 5.0 rebs, 7.2 assists (age 28)
26.6 pts/game, 4.8 rebs, 6.5 assists (age 27)
This is Steph Curry the two years before Durant joined, and Dwyane Wade the two years before LeBron joined
They seem pretty comparable to me.

my point is and remains, why are people angry in the first damn place?
You guys are fishing for arguments or what?
Wade vs Curry lol
They're completely different players. Like not even close.
Nah. Curry just a shooter brah.They both dribble the ball

Because he is the 2nd best player in the league and joined a 73 win team. So for the next 2 years we know who wins and that they'll probably steam roll without any sort of "they might lose moment". The only way they lose is if 2 of their big 4 get hurt
Nah. Curry just a shooter brah.
so?
he was a free agent
dudes get released and traded in sports all the time with very little say so in their destinations
Durant played within the rules and chose his spot
more power to that man
You can go over the cap/tax to re-sign guys already on your team if you do it right mechanically... Warriors owners aren't billionaires who cry poor (after stealing a team from Seattle) so I think they'll be OK.He will not get re-upped. They're all getting max money, you can't have 4. Unless they all take less and Klay leaves a max offer on the table to stay.

You are one of those unicorns that just cannot process the thoughts of other people
People like competitiveness, he left a team that had the Warriors down 3-1 and joined the warriors to get an easy ship. That rubs people the wrong way, which apparently you just can't understand. Had he gone to Boston, Spurs, Wizards, anywhere but the Warriors he would not have been hated by anyone except the dumb Thudner fans for a few months. Then they'd get over it too.

Cap is going up and they'll cycle through role players to keep tax down.$440m a year? We'll see.
i dont understand it
i really dont
had he gone out east, he would've had to beat lebron just to get to the finals then what...ultimately lose to the warriors?
if he goes anywhere else in the west, then you have to fight the warriors just to get to the finals to possibly lose to the cavs?
im just not that invested b/c those same people would've loved for KD to sign to "their" team
faux outrage is still faux
Cap is going up and they'll cycle through role players to keep tax down.
Biggest problem for Warriors now is Iggy gone (unless they're going to break the bank for a 33-year old which I doubt) and Livingston is about to get way more expensive. They'll need some more West, Zaza vets want a ring types plus McGee reclamation projects. Need McCaw/Clark to play bigger minutes too.
Yep forecasting the 2020 cap situation of a team means it'll definitely happen
30ppg is still 30ppg
