Curry will stay a Warrior, says Don Nelson.

Insight: Newly drafted guard Stephen Curry, from Davidson, has already become the center of discussion in the basketball world. Curry, who is an offensive machine, has been rumored to be on the move later in the offseason in a package deal which involves Suns All-Star forward Amar’e Stoudemire heading to Golden State. However, longtime basketball coach Don Nelson feels that Curry will make an instant impact on the league with the Warriors, and denies the rumors by saying, and I quote, “He can unpack his bags and relax. He can buy a house. We drafted him because we think he’s a terrific
player that fits right into our program. He ain’t going anyplace.”

The Warriors have been known to be an offensive based team for the past couple of years now under Nellie, and it seems there is no better match for Curry other than in Oakland itself. With a backcourt of Monta Ellis, who has proven himself to be a threat on the offensive end, and Curry, who lit up almost every opponent he faced in college, together, the Warriors will be a feared offensive team once again this year.

Knicks interested in Rubio.

Insight: Rumors of the New York Knicks going after 18 year old guard Ricky Rubio have once again come about after Thursday night’s NBA Draft. Team president Donnie Walsh has expressed serious interest in the European phenomenon, more so after he found that the T-Wolevs were caught in somewhat of a pickle Thursday night when they drafted two PGs (Rubio and Jonny Flynn). Rubio’s father stated that he would prefer Rubio to head back to Spain for a season or two.

Walsh jumped on the opportunity to take the Rubio situation off Minnesota’s hands, and is planning to contact them soon. It hasn’t been clear on whether or not the Knicks would give up their draft pick, Jordan Hill, or Knick stars David Lee and Nate Robinson. It’s been whispered that the Knicks are hoping to drop some salary before the 2010 offseason by trading Robinson or Lee, so they can sign superstar players such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and, if still on the market, Chris Bosh.
