Davis may not be gone long. The teams apparently have an agreement that the Knicks will release Davis and he will return to the Bulls later this month. Davis, who stands to make $13.9 million this season, is in the last year of his deal.

but i thought they changed the rule after the gary payton trade last year. isn't there some sort of restriction for a player to be traded and then waived where he can't go back to the same team he was traded from?

Thats it, nobody has any thoughts about the the morality of the decisions that have been made by all parties?

Think Eddie, his wife, or family member has to sign a waiver relieving the knicks, bulls, or NBA of any liability in the event Eddie goes down? Where the bulls being "Pus#ies" about it? Fiscally responsable? Morally responsible? Is Eddie putting the money ahead of his family? We got doc's that say its ok to play, and another that says don't! Are the knicks as the only team to step forward being too greedy? What about puplic perceptions of the team if he dies?

We all know its a great deal if he plays well!

Eddie is now married and has two kids. He is a still a child in many ways at the age of 23, and he is a father of two at the same time.

Okay now. Let me see if I can't put this in perspective. Over the last 2 years i've spent some time surfing over on the Bulls Realgm board mainly checking up on the status and availability of Jamal Crawford and Eddy Curry.

However I must comment on the quote above. I have discussed in the past how posters over there talk about Eddy Curry as if he's a "Child" and a "Dummy" and how imo they don't deserve him. Now the first thing I upa and read this morning.....he's being referred to in the same way here with us. The internet is interesting in that it gives people the opportunity to vent their frustrations (i'm at the front of the line). Speaking for myself I can only say that no one can provide any proof beyond their own preconceived notions that Eddy Curry is a "Child". Pull out one example of it...and please don't say he doesn't get rebounds as an example

Infact I think it gives a peak into our own psyche when we make unfounded statements like that....hey, i'm at the top of the list. So please let's refrain from calling this guy a "Child" or "Dumb" or worse. At 22 years old with two kids I think he qualifys quite surely as an adult.....Paxson found that out the hard way (and please, no bizness about this handlers )

Having passed 23 years a long time ago, I marvel at what an idiot I was then. I think it is safe to say that someone 23 years old is a 'child'. I don't think we're calling him stupid- just when he turns 30 he is going to have a very different perspective on life.

Now, lets say he did not secretly have the DNA test, and we'd have to assume that our conjecture about that is unfounded conspiracy thinking, I would argue that not having it and trying to play in face of the possible serious consequences (death) just for $55M instead of $20M is the height of childishness. Its the sense that nothing can stop me, there are no consequences to my actions, I'm immortal.

We'll have to agree to disagree then about your assumptions then. If you were a bonehead and a "child" at 23 years old you're only speaking for yourself. I'd guess that you didn't have nearly the amount of responsibility and stress on you at 23 that Curry does (another assumption). Let's have you take a DNA test first to qualify you for working at your job. This whole concept of generalizing about the mentality of certain atheletes has a familiar undercurrent to it.

So, we can either go there...or not. I'm ready.

i read some good valid points that i never thought of. the fact that it is a risk is true but curry is an adult who can make his own decision. remember, he has been in the league for four years. we have seen him and chandler become immature lazy baby bulls to hard working forces in the middle. this is maturity, folks. he is married now with kids. he loves playing basketball. that is his passion. he is taking a risk but it on his terms. all we can do is think positive.

Yes you are generalizing about atheletes. You have no evidence of this man being a child. You don't know what this man does in his private life. The only thing you know is that he's tall, black and can dunk a basketball at a high percentage rate (where have we heard this before).

In fact it was a very adult and mature decision to stand by his position of not submitting to the Bulls bogus demands of taking that DNA test.
