Can the Knicks advance Curry's 2009-10 salary if he declines his 2010-11 option?

What I was thinking is that the Knicks can buy out his option for 2010-2011 for $8mil, and that would get him his cash now, save us around 3 million and get him off the books for that summer.

That would be huge.

Not going to happen. He's too damn STUPID. The Knicks were idiots for giving the lazy sack of crap a 2M advance when he came to camp at 340 and is now over 350 pounds. How was this going to motivate him? LOL? It is apparent that his life has been spinning out of control for years and it's now come to the point where it is just flushing itself down the toilet. This was his own making. You lay down with dogs you get fleas and Eddy has clearly done this for YEARS not just recently but for years.

I feel bad for individuals that have hard times but after reading more and more about Eddy's life I no longer feel sorry for him. It's been going on so long with him, mostly behind closed doors, that it's no longer considered a short rough patch in life, it's been going on for years. I'm actually annoyed and hope this fat tub of garbage disappears forever. All that money and he decides to destroy his life and end up in massive debt? Screwing women and having babies out of wedlock? Making friends with obviously shady characters that has led to massive debt, getting held up on an obvious inside job robbery, getting sued left and right for unpaid bills?

I shed no tear for this failure of life. If I'm callous I don't give a crap this isn't isolated and this isn't new it's gone on for years. The hell with this terrible excuse for a human being. May he blow out both knees getting off the couch looking to make a pork shake and medically retire so we can get out from his absurd 2010/2011 contract year.

Officially my MOST HATED KNICK right now. No contest.


Don't hold back on our account, Cos. Tell us how you really feel.

How disgusting.

Curry asks for 8 million in advance, they didn't have to give him anything, but the team gives him 2 million and this is how he repays them? Did he spend all that money Big Macs? What a joke, this dude just disgusts me.

What are you talking about, this is how he repays them?..

Dude. They didn't have to give him the advance in money but they did. How does Eddy thank them? It looks like he spent all the advanced money on Big Macs because he's fat as **** and out of shape. The dude is a sloth waste.

The guy obviously has more problems than anyone could have imagined...I don't think it's something that he intends to do to the Knicks...His life has spiraled out of control...I think its more important what is happening in his personal life than what you think he may owe the Knicks...Sometimes we have to learn to separate the personal issues from basketball issues...Eddy has bigger problems than basketball...


Eddy Curry has been the same guy basketball wise his entire career. His recent trouble, albeit disturbing and sad, does not excuses him whatsoever for the condition that he's in.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

It would be more than huge... and that would be a great way to structure that type of deal.

I know Curry is fat and lazy and people look for any opportunity to pile on the guy, but I'm baffled as to why no one else is commenting about the tremendous opportunity the Knicks may have to get out of his contract early--without needing to package him with another asset.

Papabear Says

When you are a Basketball star, getting that piece of tail sure feels good for that half hour. But it can bring you 22 years of child support payments. The more you make the more you pay. The pu**y ain't worth it. All the money he is making and he has to borrow some money. I bet he is taking care of his whole family, cousins, aunts, uncles, and crew. He needs to cut everyone off and make them get jobs then he needs to go get help.
There is an old saying, YOU CAN GIVE A BUM A MILLION DOLLARS AND HE STILL WILL BE A BUM AND WILL BLOW IT ALL.
I have a personal note. If a sports star or a regular Joe gets a girl pregnat out of wedlock and there is no history of a relationship between the two. The man should only pay minimal child support payments. I bet that the pregnancy rate will go down big time.

Unfortunately Eddie came into money as an immature kid and seems not to have matured much since then. I've never liked Eddie on the court. He's always been lazy on the floor and nothing has changed this year. But I can't root against him in his personal life. He's blowing an opportunity and I hope he can get his life together.
I just hope that people will like me

I mean he has had a rough year and some tragedy in his life. But, if you are going to keep yourself in situations where bad things can happen and are carless with everything in your life it's hard to feel sorry for someone that has pretty much hit the lottery because of his size.

The guy has proven to be a loser that just rolls over anytime things get tough out there. There is no excuse to ever come into camp out of shape, let alone grossly out of shape. I don't care who Isiah has brought in through the draft, giving away two lottery picks for a one dimensional, over eater is the worst move in the history of the team. I wish we could just give him a large sum at the end of next year and allow him to opt out of his contract.

This year has destroyed anyone ever taking a chance on him

1. its very difficult for me to understand how a woman need 15,000 a month to raise 2 kids. ONe of my best friends, works at a top law firm graduated from harvard law pulls 200+ a year and is making less than half that. I just don't understand how a judge thinks thats reasonable.

2. Curry is an *******. How do you make that kind of money and end up broke. Ever. 10 million dollars should last you for the rest of your life if you have any gotdamn sense at all. I have no sympathy for him. Sell your house and rent muth****er. ANd learn how to save and spend wisely.

3. Curry is a waste of human life.

4. I do feel very badly about that whole situation with his girl and daughter. Assuming he had nothing to do with it.

Harsh but very true. Some people need harshness directed at them. Maybe Eddie is one of them. Yet then again, the fans were harsh to him when he was struggling with his weight. Now he's still struggling with his weight.

well... remember child support is based on income. Its usually calculated. Its got nothing to do with whats needed to raise a child, rather if you make xx amount you would use xx to raise that kid.

Curry strikes me as a good human being. Its not his fault he's 6'11 and everyone made him play basketball. If I was the Knicks I would pay him his buyout, give most of it to him up front, hire him a financial planner and poof we are off the hooks for 2010. Its expensive but him being gone ensures you can sign a FA and bring Lee back

wait a second... Curry is in deep financial trouble & owes his ex gf a ton of money in child support... then he somehow witnesses her murder along w/their 9 month old child that he's paying child support on... are those the facts of the case or am i missing something here? i'm not usually one for conspiracy theories but that sounds pretty damn fishy to me... does anyone think Eddy Curry could be an indirect suspect in this case or has the murderer already been caught & prosecuted?

I was thinking the same thing at first (another Ray Carruth situation) but the family is pretty convinced that it was the ex-boyfriend, and I tend to think that Curry does not have the b***s to pull a stunt like that. To have a 9 month old child killed takes a pretty hardcore cold-blooded mentality. Nothing about Curry suggests that he has that kind of toughness in him? I am pretty confident he had nothing to do with it.

So Eddy Curry isn't a murder suspect because he's soft and a *****.

Only the Knicks.

No, Curry isnt a murder suspect because the police have not considered him one, period. Besides it's be pretty hard to miss a 350 pound 7 feet guy shuffling away from the scene and pausing to catch his breath

His ex probably would have whupped him anyway.

i wasn't implying that Eddy was the one who shot the girl & the baby obviously... just that he might have had a motive to be involved in the shooting in some capacity, that's all.

Wasnt suggesting you were dude, IMO its a non issue because the police arent even questioniong him muchless treating him as a suspect.

I hope Eddy was not being extorted for money and to retaliate someone got his girl her mother.

Chicago can be tough.
