Curry was never put in situations isiah is asking him to be in. Why he wasn't being groomed for this when he got into the league is beyond me. He was 18 when he got into the league. Its a ****ing crime that he wasn't groomed better. By now he would have been a black belt. Right now eddy is probably a green belt.

Same for Kwami Brown, right?

Kwame is no Eddie Curry :) I think in Eddy's case it's not his fault that the league was going younger and younger and taking guys before they were ready, with no system in place yet to deal with undeveloped kids like him. Curry has been coddled since day one and it seems no one has ever really been able to get thru to him. I think NOW he is beginning to realize just how good he can be int his league. Remember how he started this year. He didn't have the confidence that he now has. Remember when he destroyed Ben Wallace and realized that no one could really stop him. He gained tremendous confidence this year and that is gonna have a carry over effect going into next year.

If he does lose weight and puts in the work with Aguirre and Ewing, I think he has a VERY good chance to come back a different player next year. The rest of the league doesn't really want to see an in shape and improved Curry. I'm surprised that some of us aren't more patient with him and for that matter Frye. These guys are young and talented, but their future isn't all written in stone. They can easily put things together and get to another level. IMO we have much more bigman talent than the Bulls and many other teams. Who knows how good Lee will get or Morris for that matter. I'm not in a rush and I don't believe the Knicks need to be either. If we take our time, the sky won't come crashing down. So let's see what Curry does this summer and hope that it turns out great. ANY TRUE Knick fan shoule be pulling for his success, not bashing him and practically calling for him to be a failure. Surely you must realize how great it would be if this guy puts it all together?

how can lack of outside shot be a negative for curry? if anything it should be a plus... I mean it is like listing a lack of post game, a negative for steve nash.. come on!

I definitely agree with your first post about it not being necessary to post his thread!

That said, I think a jump shot would open up Eddy's game a lot. Teams couldn't collapse on him on the perimeter if he was a scoring threat (or if they did, it would really open up the paint). Being able to score from anywhere within 20 feet is one of the best assets of guys like Boozer, Duncan, JO, and Bosh.
