[Weitzman] Former Minnesota GM David Kahn, who passed on Curry twice: “I would be happy to talk to you just as soon as you talk to the Clippers (Griffin), Memphis (Thabeet), Sacramento (Evans) & especially Washington, which traded the No. 5 pick to me for Foye & Miller & could have drafted Curry.”

Curry, on the other hand, was something different. He was — and still is — new. It’s probably why so many GMs were wary of selecting him back in the 2009 draft, when he fell to the Warriors at No. 7. There was no way to imagine what he could be because we had never seen it before. It would've been like explaining gravity to someone before Isaac Newton.*

*On a related note: I reached out Tuesday to former Minnesota Timberwolves general manager David Kahn, who passed on Curry twice and used that draft’s fifth and sixth picks on point guards Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn. I wanted to know how Kahn has processed this week.

"I would be happy to talk to you just as soon as you talk to the Clippers (Blake Griffin), Memphis (Hasheem Thabeet), Sacramento (Tyreke Evans) and especially Washington, which traded the No. 5 pick to me straight up for Randy Foye and Mike Miller and could have drafted Curry fifth," Khan texted back.

Damn, a great reminder of the greatness of Ernie Grunfeld.
