Warriors Draft Curry I The Pick That Screwed The Knicks 

It was written in the stars.

@@jewunit347 man some real deep shit you talking right there. This is going to make for 1 hellauva documentary one day !

Kerr didn't agreed to Coach the Knicks, he got an offer from the Knicks and Warriors, and he chose the Warriors.

@@yajson Because they have Steph

@@MaxPotentialGreatness man you are so right! I think it’ll be a little more iconic then Jordan’s. Curry had a different approach to basketball as opposed to “if you don’t wanna play that way, then don’t play that way” mentality.

And Sorry for Knicks

@@DarrenStevensohnOfficial never sorry for the knicks

They even gave us wiggins and kuminga lol

*timberfools

Np

and thanks again for wiggins

@@noreljohnquintal6396 warriors really be out here robbing Minnesota on repeat

no problem bro this will only haunt me for the rest of my life edit: probably until the end of our franchise

And a double thank you for Kuminga as well.

The Warriors sure know how to get the most out of those Minnesota draft picks

2009... Timberwolves passed on Steph TWICE. Selected Flynn and Rubio... two fricking guards, at that.

the Twolves are the real champs here. lmao warriors should send some champ rings to twolves. lol

Tell It Like it Is

NTR vibes here. 😄

Either that or Mello would ran him out of town for stealing his spotlight. Just like he did with Lin.

As a Knicks fan, I agree with this. Glad he didn’t go to NY. We woulda ruined this man’s career

Even if he go to the knicks it doesn't mean they win a chip curry is great but he's a choker he can't even win without green and thompson and k.d give him additional 2 chips but kd is a bitch too so who cares

Precisely. Ending up in Golden State alongside Monte Ellis when he was at his best allowed him to develop. Anyone with half a brain who watched him at Davidson would have known he had the potential to be the best player on a team (not the all-time great he has become, but still an All-Star caliber player), but his slight build and those ankles would have rolled all over the Madison Square Garden floor if they pushed him too soon.

Timberwolves worst franchise in history and it’s not even close.

@@taigewang3534 I would say the Kings is worse

@@taigewang3534 what are you talking about casual lmao, they're not even close to the worst. It will always be the Kings.

@@taigewang3534 Damn, kings are so bad you forgot they existed

Can’t blame the Kings for taking Tyreke Evans tho he was playing like an All-star his rookie season. If he was healthy, he would be way better than Kat and DLo combined

Steph's ankles are irrelevant. As long as they could land Carmelo, Knicks would gladly give up the farm to make this trade a reality🤷‍♂️

GSW tried trading Curry to the Bucks. The Bucks preferred Ellis in the trade. It's not like the Warriors were behind Curry through everything but everything turned out for the better...unless you're the Cavs.

@@tawfeeqismail9279 Yeahh They decilen curry becsuse of his issue on his Ankle that's the weakness of Curry his fragile Ankle that's why he live on 3's but right now he improve his finishing skills Bucks fired their medical staff after they sees Curry careers fly high ....

They weren’t trading Curry… lmao the Knicks don’t trade injury riddled players, they get them

@Huey Freeman 😆😆😆 so true!

Or his career might cut short because of his injuries

They knicks did nothing. It was the wolves

Steph was drafted BEFORE the Knicks picked

Agreed. One thing about the GSW that gets criminally overlooked is their ability to find diamonds in the rough through the draft or talented players that other organizations gave up on & properly develope them. The NYK haven't had that reputation since Pat Riley left in the mid-90's.

His ingregity,and skills too big to be demized to trash,naw...

@@falsch4761 Fr, linsanity was one of those "what ifs" in the league

Curry was almost traded to the bucks luckily monta ellis was the sacrificial lamb

Joe is so ballsy, addressing the boing fans that they will add another banner.

@@willc5723 Warriors offered Curry first but Bucks said no thanks due to his ankles. Can't believe how much of a generational blessing those once wobbly ankles were. It kept on giving.

Great question. Golden State seems to have run into so much good luck after picking Steph that you can't say it happened by design. As someone else pointed out, had the Warriors not sold the team to Guber and Lacob, Steph's career could have gone in an entire different direction. You also have to consider the effect of Steph's early ankle injuries and how they contributed to him being the biggest bargain in the NBA for a few years and allowed the team additional financial flexibility. Then you add the drafting of Klay, Draymond along with the shrewd move of trading away Monta Ellis for Bogut, the firing of Mark Jackson, hiring Steve Kerr, signing KD, losing KD and Klay, then Steph to injury then winning the chip 2 years later. Talk about improbable!

Agree , like what happened to Jeremy Lin 😥

@@ericg3496 James Dolan, owner of the Knicks wanted to sign Jeremy to a decent contract under 4 million (most likely below 3 million with possibly only for one year) which he thought was quite generous, but instead of immediately attempting to sign the player, Dolan waited till the end of the season which was a bad move. Houston offered 25 million for a 3 year contract which the Knicks didn't want to match, and also because Carmelo Anthony didn't like the position he was going to be in if Jeremy Lin stayed with the team. The Knicks never got enough with Carmelo alone on the team, since, he likes playing hero ball, and Houston decided to give the team to James Harden rather than let Jeremy Lin lead. There's a lot of drama up in the box seats on the ownership level and players are just the pawns.

Jrue

@@strongestd8266 s/o to him dude got his ring 🤷🏾‍♂️

there is a nba team in minnesota? didn't know that...

Because the knicks are willing to draft curry, even curry expected to play for them. Minnesota doesnt care about him

Literally everyone talks about us taking 2 guards over curry

Yea somehow the knicks stay in the media. No matter how bad they are, we still have to talk about the most valuable team in the NBA

Knicks for clicks

Sorry dude sounds like being a Knicks fan is tough

@@jessISaRicePrincess Ever heard of suckramento kings?

@@lancelistones6782 doing much better than the knicks as of lately thats for sure

Now Wiggs and their 7th pick that turned into Kuminga

Ricky Rubio is understandable. Who is jonny flynn? Lol

@@ardtob exactly 🤣

To be fair. Rubio was scouted as the Next Pistol Pete and Flynn was a superstar in college. Too bad they did not unlock their real game.

Jeremy Lin is the example. They will prefer diva like Carmelo than develop young guys

Mark Jackson did not spread the floor when he was there. Mark Jackson implanted a tough defensive mindset to the team. Mark Jackson had Steph taking long twos and play a more traditional PG. He was running big man post up/iso to Harrison Barnes and David Lee. It was Steve Kerr that redesigned the offense to let draymond playmake and run curry off ball. He also implanted a pass heavy offense.

Yep, so true

When you mentioned “spreading” you made my mouth water. 🤸

@@DoesRocksFloat That's true I forgot about David Lee who was an all star in that system. Yes Steve Kerr designed an offense to take Curry to the next level. Mark Jackson should get credit those teams consistently made the playoffs.

You claiming phi-slamma jamma with h Hakeem and Drexler was a mid major??? Other than that you're right.

Don't forget DWade

@@jw3638 he was a star in college bruh

@@nolanarmstrong2458 That's my point

@@jw3638 Wade went to Marquette not a mid major.

Exactly, they are the one who shot themselves in the foot.

Curry's dad told the Minnesota management that they dont like to play there.

😂

Well dolan screwed the knick, if that ever counts as knicks screwing knicks.

@@lk5388 Phil Jackson screwed the Knicks harder than anybody. “We’re gonna draft two foreign project players that don’t project well and put them next to the aging star Carmelo Anthony”

@@coreyhansen9711 Porzingis was good for the Knicks though, the Knicks pissed him off and he left then became bad

@@olsmellyknuckles9653 His career went south because of injury.

They are also a toxic fan base that will turn on their own players

@@Eric42000 so does every fan base. Go to any fan community chat and you’ll find a fan trashing a team player.

I've seen more highlights of Knicks fans booing their own team/players than any other team. But I agree it's happened with other teams too

@@liferealgood nah there’s levels to it. 76ers and Boston are the top level of toxic fans with Knicks, Lakers and maybe Suns at the 2nd level. Rest of the league is average levels of toxicity.

@@olsmellyknuckles9653 those are probably some of the bigger fan bases so yea you would probably see more toxicity because you would see a bigger representation. I can’t remember/recall ever once seeing a Kings fan being toxic because I hardly see one but I know they exist.

Hindsight is 20/20, ofcourse the Minnesota Timberwolves did not know that both Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins would be all Star candidates.

The Kings will always be worse though.

Exactly

Or even better, Melo demands he be traded just like Linsanity.

He was meant to be a Knick I’m telling you it’s no other way and guess who was a free agent the following summer who became his biggest rival … they would’ve been onna same team

You must be from the future Ryan.... see you at the parade

@@TheMarslMcFly thank you sir

Dolan and his daddy are the absolute worst thing for Knicks and the culture of basketball in general it's seems they don't even remotely care it's all about money to them.

all they had to do was make a phone call to the 'Wolves: "...... hello, Minny, let's make a deal......."

Thank you Don Nelson, as a Warriors fan 👏.

Rubio is a BUST. They compared him to Nash. not even close.

@Confessions Of A Movie Freak : Yes, he was a bust

@Confessions Of A Movie Freak He was a Bust. He never learned to shoot. A Vastly overrated passer as well. You see how dramatically the suns changed when they got rid of him and brought a real point guard in Chris Paul?

But the Flynn one? Yikes

It reminds me of when MJ came back from his 1st retirement and dropped The Double Nickel on the the Knicks. MSG is THE venue for legendary performances…at the Knicks’ expense! 😂

that's not true at all , you're forgetting there was almost a moment the Warriors fumbled the bag and would have built around Monta Ellis because of Curry's constant Ankle issues. Meanwhile NY was already heading towards a shooting favored system whichMike D'Antoni was in favor of. It was just badluck for NY, if they get Curry the Knicks never make the horrible trade for Carmelo and the franchise is changed forver.

@@RuskiVodkaaaa yeah you got a decent argument there. I'd forgotten about D,Antoni .

@@19eightyforeisnow and don't forget Warriors back then had a bad ownership team - as in one of the worst in the league in the last 2 decades
