    It's a stupid fucking question that assumes we need to choose one, or the other. We don't. So, the correct answer is: both. No one is asking GSW if they should keep KD or Curry.

    Didn't realize CJ was a (sneaker) free agent. If you're Adidas, do you make a huge pitch to try to get him and Dame together?

    As I often tell my son, "what if" questions that postulate ridiculous hypotheticals are not worthy of response.

    He respects the fact that I don't condescend to him. When he's legitimately seeking knowledge, I answer him as best I can. When he asks something pointless and ridiculous, I call him out.

    Perhaps if BGDbot's programmer had done the same early in his development, we'd see fewer glitches.

    Yes. CJ has a very marketable personality.

    He is getting up there in age, but at least he isn't clutching his chest and threatening to come join Elizabeth...

    KD and Curry are very different players though, whereas the duplicity of Dame and CJ skillsets & physicality limits their combined effectiveness (both score first guards).

    IMO we need to trade one of them (Dame imo) for an all-star caliber small-forward, to have that level of talent spread-out at PG (CJ), SF (trade addition) & C (Nurkic).
