I don't believe this means Curry is gone. To be honest with you, I felt that both Lee and Frye forming our front court was an excellent idea to begin with at the start of the season. This would allow us to bring Curry along slower to become acclimated to the rigours of getting out on the break. Of course, this will take time for him to get into the shape and the mindset of doing so on the regular, so I believe bringing him off the bench is best. Getting rid of him all together I believe is a bit extreme especially when you consider the Mavs run the ball with Erick Dampier and DeSagna Diop as their two centers. Those two players have nothing on Curry in terms of baseline to baseline speed or athletic ability to fit into the break. The only advantage they do have on Curry is the know how of how to fit in with the break which came from experience of playing in the system. Curry has even more importance for this team when the ball is slowed down which occurs most of the team even with running teams. In this set, Curry becomes the focus of the offense similar to what the Lakers did with Kareem and ShowTime Lakers. And NO to the people I know that will come out and ask me a dumb question like "so you think Curry is as good as Kareem." You don't have to be Kareem to play a role similar to his. Tim Thomas played a role similar to what Dirk does on the Mavs this season. Is Thomas Dirk? Do they have the same impact? Alright then. They both still effected the game in a positive way, just one moreso than the other.

As for David Lee, I love the way he fits into the team but I just wish he'd look to add more strength to keep his man in check defensively. You could be aggressive all you want but you need so mass there to attempt to hold your position from time to time.
