you have the attention span of a gnat.

NO team has ever traded two lottery picks for any player EVER, not counting sweetney and 2 2's.

Reasons not to worry:


He's 22.

He's a legit Center.

He's already a semi-dominant scorer.

He seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

He's being coached by Larry Brown.

I hope you are not comparing Eddie Curry and Vince Carter because you'll look mighty dumb, but beside the point, Eddie Curry was a FRRE AGENT meaning ANY team with cap space could have offered him--NO one did--his OWN team WAS NOT going to sign him unless he passed a DNA test which he was unwilling to give. NO team SIGNED eddy-we were the only team WILLINg to sign him for that amount of $$$$ and also take him with no testing. That being said we OVERCOMPENSATED the BULLS. You can say Eddye Curry is this and that until you are blue in the face, the facts are hes only been a fair NBA player. DWIGHT HOWARd CHRIS BOSH AMNARE STOUDEMIE KG etc...et al all way YOUNGER than him at points of their careers were multiple times BETTER. You sound foolish, like you dont even understand basc concepts here, and stating that Curry is better than Vince carter is assinine.

I don't think he was saying Curry is better, he's saying putting together a package and a contract for Curry is more expensive than it was for Carter, no matter what the situation was with Curry.

thank you for clarifying that for briggs, He often needs help with these types of things. Atlanta wanted curry, but the bulls scared the hawks away, and I can understand that if curry was unrestricted he would probably be in Atlanta, so Briggs if FOS...

This is comming from a guy who changes his opinion with the weather... He immeadeatly takes my post and jumps to the conclusion that I am comparing curry to vince...


and

stating that Curry is better than Vince carter is assinine.

Can someone, anyone finde where I said this? anyone? this just proves that briggs is an extremest, He takes everything to the extreme,even to the point of making things up. No wonder why people think he is nuts....

The fact remains that all the big men that were signed were over paid, relative to what dalembert got and chandler got, curry was compensated correctly, and there are still stipulations to that guaranteed money. Briggs won't mention this because he is too wrapped up into trying to be right...

comparing what it took to get vince carter and curry is ridiculous, two different positions two different situations...
