According to a source close to Curry, the Knicks' veteran center met with James in Ohio to discuss Curry's future, which may or may not include having LeBron as a teammate. The conversation, the source said, "had nothing to do with Eddy trying to recruit LeBron to New York."

In fact, Curry may have been recruiting himself to join James either in Cleveland or Chicago. Curry is entering the final year of his contract and has told close friends he'd welcome a buyout from the Knicks in order to become a free agent.

Curry has talked about returning to his hometown of Chicago to restart his career. The Bulls are one of several teams with salary cap room to sign James, who is expected to visit New York, New Jersey and Chicago when he becomes a free agent on July 1.

James originally reached out to Curry in early May about possibly working out together during the offseason. Curry and James share the same agent, Leon Rose, and both are friendly with NBA power broker William Wesley, who recently became the agent for Kentucky coach John Calipari.

Last summer, the Knicks appointed Wesley to be in charge of Curry's offseason training program. The move was twofold: Curry was overweight and Knicks president Donnie Walsh wanted to strengthen his ties to someone in James' inner circle.

The results were mixed. Curry arrived for training camp out of shape but the Knicks had a special visitor at their first practice at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs: Wesley.

The chances of the Knicks reaching a buyout with Curry are remote because Walsh sees Curry as an important asset. With Curry set to become a free agent next summer, he has all the incentive in the world to have a bounce-back season.

Curry's expiring contract makes him a valuable trade commodity and Walsh, who has been Curry's most ardent supporter, remains convinced that Curry can also be of value to the Knicks on the court.

James remains noncommittal about his future and has not commented publicly since Izzo last week decided to turn down the Cavaliers' coaching job and remain at Michigan State.

I personally believe Lebron wanted to know about the Knicks and Chicago since Eddy Curry has spent major time with both teams.

I agree with you. Curry will screw everyone including LeBron, so when I said everyone I meant LeBron too.

Since we were waiting until this fall to show our stuff , why did Danphoney not play curry when he was ready to play ?

I think there was an assumption by you that Curry was ready to play.

BAHAHAHAHA! What a freakin' joke! He'd "welcome a buyout" so that he could go play with Lebron elsewhere?!
Are you fookin' high or just stupid Eddy? That has about a zero chance in hell of happening.
Perhaps we should also trade Chicago TD, Chandler and Gallo for a player to be named later.

What purpose would MDA want to keep Eddy down?

There is a wild assumption that MDA coaches to make MDA happy and now for wins.

And when a playaer finally gets healthy or shows the abilty its assumed it was always there and some how the Devil MDA was just trying to prove a point.

Lebron already knows MDA and worked directly with him for a good while. Besides there are other Knick players he could talk to who would have more credibility. Everyone knows Eddy has been a huge waste of talent underachiever.
