And Curry can't defend his position or rebound. He's a bad player.

Curry=5RPG ugh thats gross....But, they aren't talking about Curry playing D and rebounding, from what I'm reading they are only talking offense, low post in particular. I think most agree that Curry is sorta bumish.

Well, my counter point has always been that low post scoring is nice and all, but if you want to increase your scoring and sacrifice rebounding and defense, why not just play the Dirk/Bass frontline? You're essentially accomplishing the same thing without acquring a terrible locker room person with a horrible contract, and not losing a core piece of your team.

And Damp can't catch a basketball...what's your point? They're both scrubs. But for a team that lacks low post scoring and has a PG that is supposed to create easy baskets, Curry would be a better fit - seeing as how he actually can catch a basketball. I'd sacrifice Curry's lack of defensive skills for his offense if I'm signing Diop to be my low post defensive presence. With Damp and Diop you have two offensively inept centers. With Curry and Diop you're giving the opponent a different look when one subs in for the other.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of any of those guys...

...

And with Curry and Dirk you have defensively inept post players. Ming would be loving it.

Damp alone, no. Damp with Kidd, yes.
