thats overpaying... I said in another thread all Sweetney needs is minutes. He's better then Curry and destroyed him in h2h play.

Q-Rich + Sweetney for Curry would def. entice them.

I agree that is what it would probably take.

too much for a player with heart problems and who is 7ft and huge but can't average over 6rebs and a block a game. Curry for Sweetney + Spurs 1st rounder. Take it or leave it!

rebounding would be a disaster. Big Game isn't good enough to make a difference. Man a frontline of Curry/Frye would really struggle rebounding. Hopefully Frye surprises everyone with his rebounding. I'm contemplating whether I would give up our #1 pick. i don't think the Spurs pick wil be enough. If we're going to be in that 15 pick range, which we likely will be if we make or just make the playoffs, then I don't mind trading that pick for Curry at all. That pick would never get playing time on the Knicks. I doubt this team with Larry Brown coaching will get anything higher than a 10-12th pick.

So lets make it Sweetney + our 2006 pick. Chances of landing a player as good as Curry that late are very slim. Do it!

Well Bobs. Since Curry hasn't signed yet we have no idea WHAT HIS CONTRACT WILL BE. It could be a small contract or it could be a 5m per, as of right now I'm going to treat his contract situation like I see it, a player who is just coming off a heart problem so my thought his contract will be rather small and probably a 2 or 3 year deal and then he'll cash in if he's still healthy.

The main critical point that I see that we're hardly focusing on is that Curry's contract won't be insured. That's why I think that there's a chance of a S&T (minus any Sweetney nonsense). I'd consider discussing a Q plus picks for Curry deal. But actually going through with it is another story. Nevertheless, Curry's contract not being insured is a major major component to speculation about a trade possibility. Most teams will stay away from Curry's contract situation but it's talor made for the kinda loot in Cablevisions cofers

There are possibilities.

toodark.. he'd matured last season and was playing good ball.. he's only 22/23 yrs. old. It's worth the gamble for shooting guard, IMO.

Some of you obviously have NEVER heard of something called the "salary cap."

Craw? They don't need a point. Sweets? they don't need a forward.

Can 't just sign him, cuz we don't got spit to offer. Not much to trade salary wise. 3 way always available.

I say we pass. Let him die on some one elses floor!

I agree with getting Curry. He has a tremendous upside. We don't need TT, Q Rich, J Craw, or Sweetney. Package any one of them with a draft pick and let's do it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I think Q Rich and a pick for Curry could work... I guess including Sweets is overshooting it a bit, but usually you have to overpay in this type of situation...

Wow....I would think Q is more than enough for Curry, let alone adding a first round pick WITH Q. If Curry is so valuable why did ATL turn him down and not even offer him a contract (granted he left the meeting with them days early). There is absolutely no way I deal one of our guards, at all for Curry. I wouldn't trade any of them as that position is our greatest strength. Maybe if we absolutely knew Allan was coming back 100% I may consider Crawford for Curry....Any other guard is overpaying.

I don't see why Chi-Town needs a guy like Q anyway. I mean they are stacked at guard with Duhon, Kirk, and Gordon. They are stacked at the swing position with Deng, and Nocioni at the 3 and 4. All things being equal (and by Equal I mean that hypothetically if Curry didn't have a heart condition) I would definately trade Sweets str8 up for him. Maybe I would add a second rounder. Or the 2nd first rounder this year coming up.

As of now however, Curry is not worth an extremely promising guard like Q (can you tell I like Q....I wanted him more than Crawford last year)Curry is worth no more than expiring contracts and picks to me. Even though we have one true center on the roster. An unproven true center. Who only really came on in his last few games. Like his last 6 games.

At this point I only trade Curry for Sweets if we get
at LEAST conditional 1st round pick and I would even accept if getting this fiorst round pick was based on Curry's health.
