eddy's giving it all for us. c'mon you dumb bastards can’t you give him something back?!?!?

McDonalds should give each fan a 99 cent cheeseburger and all at once 19K strong hurl those burgers onto the court on opening night.

Eddy would probably instruct his limo driver to scoop them up and save them for later... sans a thousand or so that he'd wolf down right there.

We could also sponser a Jerome James-Eddy Curry cheeseburger-wrestling-contest. Just put up the Rangers rink walls and fill it with the aforementioned 19K cheeseburgers and let these two fat ****s roll around in it until one dies from a coronary.

But, seriously you have a chef and you are that overweight. It's a real shame we have had to deal with all the losers that Isiah has brought in over there years that have no character work ethic or concept of a team. Nice to almost be rid of the last piece of dead weight.

That being, said. If you have no college degree and a pile of debt and a contract year approaching you would hope the guy is busting his ass finaly to cash in one last time and save his life. He had a rough year that doesn't excuse his lack of professionalism.

Have to wish the big man luck.

Dude $10K per month + $6K for the chef is still less than half a million bucks. They guy makes $5-6MM after taxes.

He signed a center to a 5 year deal full mid level who had career averages of 5pts 5rbs and battled weight problems

He gave up two draft picks for a guy and then signed him to a huge deal for no reason. History of poor conditioning and was not well liked by his teammates

He gave away a draft selection in the Marbury deal after taking on 30 million in salary for Penny not to mention Marbury

And gave a role player a 5 year deal that we had to trade with a lottery pic.

If you're the GM you look into players before you bring them here. The same way it's Riley's fault for blowing it with Beasley. If a player gets injured that's fine, but if you take a chance on someone that doesn't care with a bad attitude thats on the GM

Prediction: Curry will be 360 lbs, broke, and out of the league by the time he is 30, and that truly will be ashame.

Not too much.
I am spending 10K on avarage. Nothing special.

But are you making 10 mil a year and crying broke?

Curry already has his wages garnished, and got a $2 million advance from the Knicks. Why? To pay off his mansion in Chicago, which was foreclosed upon, and also an unpaid bill from Casual Male Big and Tall clothes

I'm going to switch my last name to curry, nothing but fast foods for 30 days, and show up at his door step

"WHATS GOOD CUZO"....

Many of us on this site would not have made the mistakes Eddie has made. Maybe even most of us. But I can bet there are quite a few on here(some that are blasting Eddie right now) that would make the exact same mistakes.

I came from a poor background. When I started making solid money and had enough to travel and live on my own and buy nice things many of my friends started asking me to borrow money. I'm stingy so I wouldn't lend money to anyone. But I would allow guys to work for me and then pay them money. Nobody would. They blasted me for being a sellout blah, blah, blah. There was a lot of peer pressure to just give my friends money, or treat them when we went out. It was tough to say no, but I'm an ass so I had no problem saying no. I've lost most of those "friends". Now I can't imagine the peer pressure and family pressure when you are making millions. Nice guys like Eddie have no shot.........Unfortunately the result often times is not a good one. I fear that it won't be for Eddie. He has himself in a bind and I don't know if he has the cajones, maturity and work ethic to get himself out of it.

Yeah, but they don't always listen.

Maybe a year or two living on his own in college and having to maintain a 2.0 gpa might have done him some good.

Im not saying he learns anything he can use but he at least some some prolific verbal, reading and arithmic skills.

Things you use to read a bank statement, a loan contract, or a contract.

An education of some sorts would have helped Eddy.

These guys would go a long ways in preserving their fortunes if they learned how to use the word no (to grubby ass family, friends, lovers, etc) and using a condom on a regular basis.
