If AB shuts down Curry is he immediately our most valuable trade chip?

Funny semirelated quote of the day (Jon Gruden from the Pats vs Eagles game): “Man, I gotta tell ya, I’m calling Marcus Cannon ‘Pork Vindaloo’ because he’s getting ruined by way too much Curry.”

I am thinking Bradley will be on Curry most of the game.  If he shuts curry down won't all contenders be banging down our door for his services?

If AB shuts down Curry and we win, and all the contenders are "banging down our door" for him, why not consider us a contender as well?

Because if we win I am assuming Klay isn't playing.  If the Celtics lose tonight we aren't contenders, if we win we also aren't contenders

Aside from Golde State, San Antonio, and Cleveland, are there really any contenders?

Nope, but we are incredibly far removed from that group

Not all that relevant here but I'm not sure if anyone in the league is close to that group.

LA has been eh. The hornets raptors Bulls heat and pacers aren't scaring anyone. I think the thunder(and probably la too)  are probably the only other team that you could say is definitely better than us

To say that Boston is the second best team in the East and the 4th best overall team in the league is very Green goggle colored.


And even if Bradley shuts down Curry (which he won't) it's only one game. It might be a "statement" in a what-if scenario...But its only one game.

I thought the same as other posters:

1) Don't see Steph being shut down
                 
2) IF AB can shut down Steph why trade him? Everyone doesn't have to be trade bait. I'd like to keep him.
