If we can get rid of Eddy for Harrington that is nice.

Then we can trade Lee and Zach easier. Unless we get a center who can score AND defend, Having Lee in there is going to cost us. I'd love to keep him, but we need a two way center with him. (Though Curry and Lee did nice together at the end of the year two seasons back).

Don't forget Gallo is in the picture too. Another offensive player but who at least can play some defense. We will really be needing someone at the 5 who can defend some.

There are some great guards coming out in the draft and Thabeet. What do you do? Can you trade for a pg like (is it?) S. Rodrigez, and go with the center? (I know, too early to say). It's going to get fun hear and this time we at least have some brains running things.

oops, edit.

i'd trade Curry & D Lee in a 3 way if we could get back Harrington & a 1st rounder.

There is no way in hell the Spurs want Curry. That article is based on the writer's opinion rather than a real source that says the Spurs want Curry. Curry is the Anti-Spurs. Curry has no work ethics and seems like he does not have a love for the game. Spurs players are normally hardworking players that are physically fit. Curry can't even crack the rotation on a losing team and we are suppose to believe that Spurs want him?

Thank you very much.

Jackie Brown was signed for a short contract. Something like 2 mil. Jackie was a no risk player. Not to mention Jackie Butler was not a player that would effect the Spurs salary cap. You can not say the same for Curry. Getting Curry who is getting paid 9 mil, 10, and 11 mil for the next three years is a whole different ball game. Plus Curry is known to have heart problems and his contract might not be insured.

You know thats a funny quote....and sadly its 100% true. I've watched him in games and he rarely leaves his feet for rebounds.

Eddy Curry averaged 20-7 just over a year ago at 6-11 290. You put him next to Tim Duncan who can do some things he cant and you could have one heck of effect. Tim Duncan takes a LOT of attention--there is NO other *talent* event remotely close to Eddy Curry on the market. People act like we are talking about John Koncak or Dan Gadzuric. It could be a coup for the Spurs who really need the offense Eddy could give them + it gives them another enormous body inside. Id like to see what lineup the Knicks could throw at Tim Duncan and Eddy Curry in the middle.

The only time he jumps is if it is on the offensive end. At the same time rebounding is more about position than about out jumping your man. Think of Oakley, and Kurt Thomas. Or even Zach Randolph.

The Spurs don't strike me as a team that:

a) would want Curry. No rebounding or D.
b) would make a trade 4 games into the season.
c) are panicing about scoring when Manu has yet to play.
d) need a low post scorer. They have Duncan.

You would be shock to see what Curry does when he is on the Spurs. He would resurrect his career there in San Antonio. I think D'Antoni isn't doing the right thing with Curry he is useful. Curry needs to get in shape and that is all that is needed. He a good finisher and can block shots on an occasion.

Resurrect would imply that he was once a meaningful player

Why not just do the straight 2 team deal?
If they want David Lee and Eddy Curry, they shouldn't be opposed to giving us Al Harrington, Belinelli and Anthony Randolph

I'd agree to that... one problem though. The Spurs don't look like they have the trade pieces in place to make this happen.

7 rebounds per game for a man Curry's size is pathetic. Stop defending him Briggs, it's getting pathetic. The guy has 0 work ethic.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Curry is young. You've got to be patient with him. He doesn't have the benefit of learning the game on the college level.

I'd do that trade in a heartbeat. Getting Randolph and a potentially great shooter (Belinelli) with an expiring Harrington... nice.
I don't know if Lee will fetch that.

The Spurs trade seems a more intelligent move. Really, Curry on that team would flourish. You know what he is giving, offense and more offense. His weakness on that team would be waaaaay more masked than playing on this team as we really had no great outside defense and he just was plain terrible on his own as well. But, one on one he is a big body that can't be moved. His intelligence is sometimes in question as well as his heart, but he will get them EASY points with Duncan there and then when they get their other "star" injured player back... that will be fun to watch.

Trading Lee for Harrington on a one year rental means getting nothing long term for Lee. That's not smart.

If we give up Lee I want Anthony Randolph in the package. That is fair.

If I somehow trade Curry to the Spurs I want a number 1 pick restricted only to 5 + lower contracts.
