I kind of thought about this one too, when I saw Diaw and Bell traded. Newsday has an article and mentions an interest in Eddy Curry for Diaw, but I'm sure that might be some conjecture. I was hoping to just rid the salary cap of anything to do with Curry's salary by 2010. It mentions Diaw + Raja Bell + S Mays for E Curry and M Rose (which is pure conjecture).

But I am all about J Jeffries and E Curry for B Diaw and R Bell. But I don't see that happening.

Curry is not a Larry Brown type of player....so I don't think that would be considered.

Nope.

Diaw is an overrated scrub.

We want to trade Curry for Darko. That's what we want. We won't get it but that's what we want.

2010 my friend. If anyone on this present roster is signed beyond 2010 it will be Duhon, Lee, Nate --- and one or two of Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Amare.

Not.. DIAW. Overrated fatass that he is.

That takes only $1.5 mil off our 2010 cap figure and adds a lot in future years because of Diaw's contract. I wouldn't do it unless we were also getting rid of Jeffries.

Eddy Curry is in the wrong profession. He should have been chief marketing spokesman for McDonald's.

The only trade I want coming out of Charlotte is Curry for Felton and The Great Moushtacio. Keep the 2010 plan alive. We get an ending contract in Felton and another that expires next year. Felton can be a rental.

I also read Dlee and Curry for those two.

THe prize for Cats would be Curry who played very well for Larry.

I don't know the lengh of Raja's contract, and don't really know whose minutes he takes.

Boris is a keeper for MDA.

But there is a plan, and Would Boris fit in? Short term sure, but longer term I don't know.

If he can get rid of JJ and Curry for Boris and even Raja that would be huge!

From the Cats view, it would help them.

Or Curry and Q.

Or Curry and TT.

But not Curry and Dlee.

For DLee I want their first round pick unprotected next year. Mr. Double Double is in his prime and produces.

I'd like to see Emeka in MDA ball!

How is Diaw a keeper? The guy had ONE good season in his entire career! That season was a contract year, traded from a team he hated, he was lean and muscular, and Amare was out of commission. And Mike's system turned him into a star, he signed for big money after that, and turned into a gigantic fat giggling piece of uninspired CRAP.

His one good season is so far in the past I can't understand why people love this guy. HE STINKS! He's Jefferies with a little bit more offense. That's it!

Screw him. Let him sit there and stink in Charlotte! I don't want him nor his contract anywhere NEAR our KNICKS.

Diaw's not good, and his contract is only $2 mil less than Curry. The goal is to shed Curry's salary completely.

I'll take Bell & May for Rose in a heartbeat, though.

Conceptually, I agree. However, Diaw's contract could become more tradeable than Curry's currently is, even though it is longer. Diaw can thrive within Mike's system again and in doing so, it would be a more valuable contract. Assuming that Diaw can go back to his form while starting for Mike D in Phoenix, he would be easier to trade than an out of shape Curry. Even if we kept Diaw and could not trade, you know that he would fit within the system. If it were to happen, I would view it as a lateral move that puts us in a slightly better position for 2010, but otherwise gives us a more tradeable asset. I don't see the B-Cats making that trade though.

I would love Diaw on the Knicks --- you have to be careful to look purely at the guys stats with the Suns as he was sharing the ball with 3-all stars in Nash, Amare & Marion - not to mention Barbosa.

What Diaw gave the Suns was a super versatile player who could play 1-5 and create mis-matches at numerous positions. He's an above average post player and he is a ball faciliator who plays beautifully in Mike D's system.

I believe both Diaw's and Eddy's deals are 3-years (Eddy having option years which that fat tard will surely exercise).

Diaw for Eddy = playoffs for Knicks and makes us a very dangerous round 1 opponent.

Diaw also minimizes time for guys like Q-fat and JJ.

Diaw's deal has already been traded once so it can be done again -- particularly if his value is boosted. This is a much better scenario than having Eddy's dead deal in our hands.

Real GM says Diaw has an extra year. As does Alan Hahn, who started this rumor.

I would think Diaw would take JJ's time. BUT, Curry has a trade kicker... I am not sure what the effect of that is. That's why I doubt this trade happens.

Diaw's deal ends in 2011. Curry has this year and an option for next year which would guarantee the last 2 years of his contract. I think most are assuming that at the end of 2009 Curry will not void the last 2 years of his contract, ie both have 3 year deals left.

Curry's contract ends in 2010-2011. It is presumed that he picks up the player option (He has 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 remaining). Diaw's contract ends in 2011-12. He received a 5 year extension in October 2006, but that extension did not begin until the 2007-2008 season. That contract was for 07-08, 08-09, 09-10, 10-11 and 11-12.
