Diaw recalled that while he hadn't yet become an NBA player, Parker -- the then-19-year-old Spurs rookie -- invited him to coach Gregg Popovich's home for Christmas dinner.

Diaw found it odd, he said, that a coach of Popovich's stature would ask his first-year guard over for a meal on Christmas, and odder still that the rookie could invite his own guests. During that dinner, the story went, somewhere in between the main course and dessert, Parker and Popovich disappeared.

"I go look around the house," Diaw said. "Then I see Pop doing film with Tony about the game the night before. Pop was yelling at Tony.

"And I'm like, 'Wow.' So, in the same night, you could have the family setting, all the loving and care, and at the same time caring about making Tony a better player on Christmas night. That's when I knew Tony was in good hands and that his career was going to be great."

Saying we should take advantage of Wemby's rookie contract and add an aging veteran similar to what Pat Riley did to get Shaq to pair with Wade, which led to the 06 Title.

His suggestion is Castle+Keldon+Barnes+PIcks for Steph Curry.

I don't think GSW does it without Curry demanding it.

The team plays better with Sochan. I really like him coming off the bench.

If they keep him in the bench big role like today, I like it.

If they cram him back into the lineup at the expense of Castle, that's dumb.
