Let's start with the obvious piece. The 2009 draft is remembered by Knick fans as the draft in which Donnie Walsh and Mike D'Antoni broadcast to anyone who would listen that they intended to draft Stephen Curry at No. 8 overall. Curry was projected as a fringe lottery pick, but Minnesota and Golden State both had needs at guard, and Curry was in the mix, among the more highly rated Brandon Jennings, Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn. The Warriors claim they wanted Curry all along, but the Knicks brass running a PR campaign for the Davidson star certainly wouldn't have disabused them on that preference.
