GSW wants their pick back.

I think everybody likes Curry's game. Right now though, he just looks like one of those guys who will continually find his way to the DL.

If they get a top 7 pick, which is not a certainty, then we'll probably just get their pick next year.

True. But having a top-10 pick in a deep draft is much more valuable than a late lottery pick in an uncertain draft. It also means we get a younger player in a year earlier to start building chemistry. Or having a #8-#10 pick now might lead to a good trade on draft day (for example combining it with Jefferson or Harris).

Seriously, what do they have to offer other than Curry? I would be pretty upset if KOC did a deal where we got Bogut and they got their pick back.

That sounds a lot like the team is admitting to tanking. Doesn't that violate some rule?
 
One issue the Warriors have is that they don't have a super sophisticated fan base, and their fan base doesn't trust the organization. The fans want to win this year and every year, so this is putting pressure on the Warriors' FO and coaching staff to be competitive. At the same time the Ws need picks to grow through the draft and need to tank a bit to do it. Still, the fans are tired of the Warriors drafting players who don't stay and become great players for other teams---Chris Webber, Latrell Sprewell, Gilbert Arenas, Mitch Richmond, Jason Richardson, etc. The fans are tired of losing, and their patience for rebuilding is pretty thin.

Edit: Add Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin, ...

When this is your draft history, you can't blame the fans for being impatient:

2005- Ike Diogu
2006- Patrick O'Bryant
2007- Marco Belinelli
2008- Anthony Randolph
2009- Stephen Curry
2010- Edpe Udoh
2011- Klay Thompson

It's okay to miss on some of your draft picks, but you occasionally have to hit it big (usually requiring a top 3 pick) or consistently pick solid starters that can either play for your team or turn into assets. If I ran the Warriors I would ABSOLUTELY tank. By tank I mean trade any player over the age of 25 for youth and draft picks, then keep accumulating high picks to eventually turn it around. It doesn't always work (Sacramento) but sometimes it works great (OKC).

Wait, I thought only KOC missed on draft picks. You mean there's a team that has done even WORSE and with generally much higher picks?
