I'd like to see Curry get on the court, because the sooner he plays, the sooner he gets traded. Gallo will need a little time to get rid of the rust, but after that I think we'll be very glad we drafted him.

Before he gets traded, I'd like to see what D'Antoni can do with him. For all his warts, Curry does certain things very well. I'd like to see if we can get the 06/07 Curry - 19/7.

Potentially, this wide open system could make Curry a very efficient threat.

The key question will be if Curry can learn to make a simple pass. And I've seen this same roster which sucked last year actually turn around and implement this MDA's system, so I do have some hope.

Please! There is no true hope for Eddy Curry --- he can come back and play and yes maybe he'll score some for us but in the process our TO's will sky rocket our already non-existent defense will completely dissapear and our offense will come to a grinding halt.

OK - maybe I'm being a bit too harsh.

Bottom line -- if we can build up his value and move him I'm all for it. Eddy is NOT a keeper.

Didn't know Stackhouse was crippled but if not him then trade Curry for anyone with an equal or shorter length contract

Name one championship team that you can think of that benefitted from the presence of a center who could not play defense, pass the ball, run, or block shots.

I hope he does well but am hoping even more that he gets shipped out. Just not the kind of player I can put my heart into rooting for.

I wouldn't give Eddy away just yet. He is never going to be in great shape, but there are games like against the Spurs last year where he really showed some positive things. If he gets into any kind of game shape Curry for 20 minutes a night can be a good thing.

And we won't have to package a young player if we get him in the lineup doing good things out there. Any situation is fixable and Walsh has proved you can move anyone. So let's wait and see

20 good minutes.

Curry plays the role of Leon Powe off the bench.

A toast to Eddy Curry.

In a country that prides itself on giving people second chances, forgiving mistakes and doing time after committing the crime - - -

I hope he plays well.

What do we toast him with? Cheeseburgers?

A really really fat slow unmotivated Leon Powe.

Reason Number 1: Duhon will get the ball to Eddy Curry where he can operate inside.

Yeah, if the Knicks use Curry the way the Bulls did with cuts to the rim then he can be useful. Useful enough to make other teams gather interest in him so maybe we could do a Stackhous-for-Curry swap to get rid of him and his contract.

Useful as in a vital piece to a future winning team? No way. You need players with heart to do that. You can't rely on inconsistent players. Crawford was an inconsistent shooter -- Curry has inconsistent motivation.

You cannot win with this even if you try to rationalize you could use them off the bench as your 7th and 8th men. Guess what? Most 7th and 8th men might lack skill but they're usually tenacious hungry players.

Make Curry look good then get him out of here. That's the plan.

I always thought McCurry was pretty good. Fatass is another good one. EY Curry (no defense) is alright. Kids called him Lurch in school. Honestly, why should we try so hard to come up with a nickname for such an unmotivated slob?

I had an expanded version of Curry the Hutt - Alley-Oop from Jamal.
