I was thinking this... but so was AH

http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/blog/2009/06/2_minutes_to_midnight.html

"Another thing you can expect is for the Knicks to keep in touch with the Rockets about the Tracy McGrady situation, especially if the reports about Yao Ming are accurate to the point that his ankle injury could cause him to miss extended time. Would Rockets GM Daryl Morey consider Eddy Curry in a deal for McGrady? I'm told that would be a conversation starter. Perhaps Curry ($10.5M) and Cuttino Mobely ($9M, 80 percent insured) would be worthwhile for the Rockets.

For the Knicks, this scenario for McGrady ($23M expiring) would be a win-win mainly because you can move Curry's money off the 2010 ledger (and maybe result in Lee's contract having less of an impact) and though you'd likely have to wait a month into the season for him (shoulder and knee), he could show up determined to earn another big contract."

I agree.

And I'll re-post what I said in the other topic here too:

RealGM wiretap is quick, eh?

Anyway, Hahn must reads message boards. Either that or he used the emails he got about that exact scenario as a "source" and made up some fake interest in Curry from the Rockets. The Rockets can do much better than Curry in a trade for an expiring deal.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Absolute no-brainer unless Houston starts asking for future draft picks.

It might have a better shot than some of your predictions DJ...

See: Knicks will get 1st pick last year and Knicks will get Rubio this year.

I wouldn't hesitate to add in the 2nd rounder from Denver next year, or hell, give them Toney Douglas if it gets the deal done.

I'd throw David in with Eddy, if necessary, to ensure its completion. If Curry and Mobley is enough, keep Lee at 7-8 million.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

I wouldnt laugh this off, there is something to the Curry for TMac talks cause we keep hearing about it from various sources.


Cant discount how much the organization and the fans hate TMac...plus they are probably in panic mode after the Yao news.

Daryl Morey kicked off the 2010 free agency with a Tweet just minutes before midnight announcing that he is set to meet with Marcin Gortat.

"Meeting in a few w/ Gortat," wrote the Rockets general manager. "Send a note to him NOW at rocketsfanslovegortat@gmail.com. He will receive. Show him how much we want him in Red!"

Well there you go. A cheaper and better option.

Gortat sucks.

No he doesn't and he is way better than fatso and going to command half his salary.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

There is a way to make Curry useful in the NBA. If anyone can uncover it its the progressive Rockets.

Even if Houston does sign Gortat, I wouldn't necessarily consider it a deal breaker. The guy looked good in the playoffs, but he still has yet to prove that can play starter minutes and maintain his level of play.

I'd be shocked if this rumor did have any legs, and even if it did, I think Curry would still need to come in next year and prove he's able to play before we can ship him off.

You guys heard that Yao is done for his career, right? So Gortat is probably a good signing for them.
WE AIN'T NOWHERE WITH THIS BUM CHOKER IN CARMELO. GIVE ME STARKS'S 2-21 ANY DAY OVER THIS LACKLUSTER CLUSTEREFF.
