Though I never said veto, just that you should take some consolation in having pulled off one heist on Edgar before he quit.
Well, perhaps if Edgar had been allowed to shape his team as he wanted, rather than being stuck with the chronically injured Stephen Curry, the Crotors / Juggernauts wouldn't have finished as poorly as they did.
Curry only missed 10 combined games in his first two seasons. Most people used to believe Curry's old teammate Monta was injury prone. He missed a large part of the 08/09 season, plus some of the next season b/c of his moped accident. However, that was just a blip on the Monta radar.
Curry may yet be 'classified' as injury-prone, but not yet. He is by no means Eric Gordon or Brandon Roy. He may easily play 75-80 games this season. And if he puts up his 18&6, the Juggs can keep him or trade him for KG or some other player that he likes.
Edgar went from an 9th place finish the season before, to a bottom-4 performance last season. It was a mix of bad luck and a royal screw job; I don't think either were predictable.
While a productive KG over a DNP Curry would have helped Edgar's team win a couple of more categories last season, his team was doomed to a bad finish regardless of the trade. Hamilton, Lewis, West, and Okafor all missed 20+ games and Haywood pulled a no show.
The real sad fact is that the Juggs are off to a bad start this season with Wall going down. That's a tough way to start, but hopefully Wall will return soon w/o further problems.
