I ONCE CUT MY ARM,
AND THE NBA DRIBBLED OUT
Often, I'll attempt to climb high in the sky on the wings of poesy prose, but sometimes they melt

![Sherwood Strauss talks about the Golden State Warriors future with Stephon Curry in his latest piece at Warriorsworld. The possibility of a trade between GS and Memphis (Rudy Gay for Monta Ellis respectively) seems like a good idea. I guess Gay and Curry are buddies and Strauss was right in pointing out Ellis’ hindrance of Curry’s game.
A long time ago, I asked Stephen Curry: “Is there any player who you’d love to play with and love to have on the team? One particular guy?”
Stephen ignored the who’d/whom error and quickly said, “Rudy Gay,” as though the choice was obvious.
I asked, “Rudy Gay?” with a cadence that betrayed holy incredulity.
Curry responded: “Definitely. Leave it at that, Rudy Gay.”
He didn’t exactly leave it at that. There was somesuch about Don Nelson’s system and how Rudy would fit in.
[…]
A Gay-Ellis trade excises Curry’s rival playmaker while bringing a friend. It is a statement of loyalty and faith. The risky downsides would be a) If Curry leaves anyway or b) If Curry isn’t good enough to warrant such maneuvering. I personally believe that Curry is good enough to build around. If you buy that much, then that blurrs the question of, “How do you improve this team?” If a potential bad move keeps Curry in the Bay, is it a bad move?
The emphasis was mine because if I was a Warriors fan that’s what I’d worry about. The Warriors got a great player in Stephon Curry, but I’m not sure he’s big enough to warrant him as “Your main guy” that you can build around. His frame is Durant-esque, but without the length. I do think Ellis for Gay helps both teams though. Memphis could use a gunner, and Ellis fits that perfectly. Gay and Curry would be two peas in a pod judging from Strauss’ earlier interview.
