    Russell Westbrook - I thought this ? was gonna be a mega-bust
    Andray Blatche - This dude is becoming a superstar
    D.Wade - I didn't think he was gonna be that good coming outta Marquette
    K. Durant - I knew he was gon' be good, but I didnt think he was going to be this fukkn spectacular.

    D-Wade- I liked him at marquette. I thought he was too small for a 2guard and not a natural point

    Whoa.. slow down. Superstar?! Naaaaahh! Blatche has had a few stretches like this before in his career. Dont get too overhyped.

    I didnt think Monta Ellis wasnt as good as he is. Before the season everybody was tellin me how he was gonna be a superstar this year I just kept denying it cuz I didnt believe it. After watching every game Ive come to realize that I was wrong when it came to him not being able to put up 25 a night, BUT I told everyone of the people who told me he was gonna be good, that he cant carry a team by himself and that he cant be the best player on the team to win. If you guys ever watch Warrior gms, you'll see that the game is ALOT easier for Steph Curry and everybody else when hes NOT in the gm

    very true Monte is a great player but that duo just wont works and this off season one of them will have to go but knowing how the warriors operate they'll probably trade the both of them for expiring deals and draft picks.

    No way will they trade Curry unless its in a package deal for like D-Wade or something. Ellis is a little more expendable because hes a scorer. There are plenty of guys who can score on the perimeter, and there's definitely guys who can score more efficiently than Ellis. I see Ellis getting traded in a sign and trade deal for Rudy ? and Thabeet

    I wouldnt put it past the Warriors to trade them both but i would prefer to keep curry and move Ellis for a big man like Al Jefferson or the deal you proposed but the front office has zero common sense

    Nah I wouldnt want Al Jefferson. He doesnt fit our system. But if Nellie leaves (which I hope he does), then I might consider it.
