if it weren't Donnie Walsh making the pick, I would hate this pick, but Walsh is one of the best GMs in all of sports.

5:20 p.m.: There is a strong possibility that the Stephen Curry pick was made for the Suns. It seems Phoenix was concerned Curry would be taken with one of Minnesota's two picks. We could be looking at an announcement next week that Amare Stoudemire is going to Golden State in a deal for Andris Biedrins, Stephen Curry and some other Warriors players like Marco Belinelli and/or Brandan Wright.
5:10 p.m.: If the Suns have a deal in place with Golden State, the Suns are thrilled after Minnesota took two point guards without tabbing Curry. There was just a cheer from Phoenix's basketball operations office when the sixth pick was announced. This deal might not be announced tonight because of base-year compensation on Andris Biedrins. The Suns were hoping Stephen Curry or Jordan Hill would fall and be available at the Warriors' seventh pick. Now, both are. Hill might be more of a need help but the Suns might be surprised that Curry is even possible. The Suns have liked Curry for a long time, dating back to a time in the scouting process when they thought he might be there at No. 14.

So I’m hearing Andris Biedrins, Brandan Wright, Marco Belinelli and Azubuike plus the No. 7 for Phoenix Star big man Amare Stoudemire. I heard they are ironing out a contract extension. Will post more info as I get it …
The numbers match perfectly. Biedrins ($9M), Buike ($3.1M), Wright ($2.6M) and Belinelli ($1.5M) is $16.2 for next seasons. Stoudemire is set for $16.4 …
By the way, as best as I can tell, the max extension for Stoudemire would be three years for $61.4M million, which is $95.5M over five years. …
Azubuike has veto power up until July 124, the one year anniversary of the deal. But they don’t need Azubuike. They’d still be within 25 percent without him …
Biedrins is a Base-year compensation player, which would really make this deal hard to pull off. But I at some point in July (not sure if it’s the 1st, the start of the new season, or 15th, the anniversary of the signing) the BYC status falls away. So they can only agree in principle for now. … Kawakami just found out it’s July 1 the BYC status drops off. …
But they could do the deal even with Biedrins being base year. That means his salary is worth $4.5 million instead of $9 million. So with Azubuike in tow, they still can come within 25 percent of Stoudemire’s salary, even if it takes one more player to throw in. Still, it would be more feasible to wait until July 1.

beef - i hate the 30 sec interviews they do with players after they get drafted... you already know the answer theyll give... pretty pointless.
