Fox is legit even without a 3 point shot.

If we draft Monk I could see Curry being dealt in the off-season.

Because we dont need a bench?

Yea, unless you're getting significant return, Curry is a bargain contract next year.

He'll also be a pretty damn good trade asset.
If we draft Monk at tell Curry he's going to the bench we'd most likely lose him for nothing.

Here is my reasoning.
Our team has been pretty good with Curry as a starter so I don't see him losing that job. If we're picking in the top 10 we better be picking a near future starter and not a long-term bench guy. If we're picking someone to eventually replace Dirk or Wes then I'm fine with a mid-lotto pick being a bench player for a year or two.
Curry is a very tradable asset that could get help yield us another starter quality player in a position of need.

The bench can always be filled with FAs and minor trades. I'd much rather see Wes go to the bench than Curry.
