Wow, not even close. They play two different positions with different skill sets.
Yikes, Orlando Magic targeting Mike Malone for their head coaching job.

Austin Rivers upside is basically a poor man's OJ Mayo, but with an NBA pedigree.

His floor is Jordan Crawford.

No thanks.
Wasn't interested in Rivers either. He's a good shooter, but IMO, I'd rather have Curry over him.

I think there are only three players in this draft that have a legitimate chance of becoming superstars.

Anthony Davis, MKG, and Andre Drummond.

And one other player (Bradley Beal) with an elite skill (shooting ability) who is a potential All-Star.

The only thing Harrison Barnes and Brandan Wright have in common is the school they went to.

That comparison is way off.

Lets look at the Monta trade now..

The trade was really Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh
for Andrew Bogut, Stephen Jackson

We wouldnt have gotten the #7 pick if we didn't make that trade, so I'd add Barnes to what we got
We traded Jackson for Jefferson and pick 30, with that pick we got Festes Ezeli

Monte Ellis, Ekpe Udoh for Andrew Bogut, Richard Jefferson, Harrison barnes, Festes Ezeli

Looks like a great trade to me
There was many people in here that didnt like the trade, I liked it since the first time I heard of it

Still looks bad, because could have done much better.

Dont agree at all. People have this vision that Monta is a great superstar with a huge trade value. I just dont see it. I think the deal they got was about as good as they were going to get if they wanted a legit Big.

Undersized scoring guard and a defensive PF for a legit and proven center, a bad contract, a SF with all star potential, and Festes Ezeli who is basically a bigger Ekpe Udoh.
Doesn't look bad to me

No thanks.

Hard to say at this point. There are a lot of people who would disagree with you on MKG in regards to superstar capability. In my opinion he will be very good but as a whole I dont see anyone in this draft outside of Davis being a superstar. Hopefully Barnes will prove me wrong.

Even though Joe Dumars is a horrible GM, the Pistons have a brighter future than the Warriors.

Greg Monroe and Drummond.

Two players the Warriors passed on. SMH.


I understand the Warriors didn't actually want to put in the time and effort required to develop a center like Drummond.

It's really unfortunate that we're in this dumb win-now mentality when our Bogut-Curry-Lee core tops out at maybe a 7th seed and a first round exit.

Hopefully is right. Now we may not even be a lottery team, I don't see how we can get better from here. The only hope for NBA teams to truly compete seems to be the lottery.
With our luck had we taken Drummond, he would have developed well on his last year of his rookie contract only to demand a high contract

Nah. Steph Curry had better court vision, passing ability, and was one of the best pure shooting prospects EVER.
