All I'm saying is, this is a very important year for him 9curry) and you can't dismiss that, and I would like to see him,hope fully raise his value, and get something solid in return. There's been plenty of players that have went down for a couple of seasons and came back ready. Now i know there's nothing to indicate that will happen with curry, but at the same time, it's not left field talk, it can happen..even jerome james ink himself a nice deal off of 6 playoff games.

james can thank IT for that, so can curry... why get hopes up over this clown? if he cant get any picks in trade buy his sorry behind out and be done with him. if indeed a new era has begun, time to move on from the garbage of the past 10 years and curry is a large part of what needs to be forgotten. how many chances can you give a guy before its time to move on? it seems the FO is tired of waiting as well. we shall see if he does indeed sit.

I seriously doubt that Curry could play well enough or stay in shape and injury free long enough to be worth more than an expiring contract. Just glad this fiasco is finally coming to an end.

How much bad luck can we have... two busts???? HOPE NOT!!

That depends on who you talked to. I know plenty of Magic fans who said Reddick didn't show up and work his ass off until his contract year. That guy got more venom than Lewis.

The guy is basically bankrupt and and he's playing for his career. He has no other skills, no college education. This is basically a guy who if he doesn't play well this year may well end up living on the streets within 10 years.

Wow- acquiring Eddy Curry may go down as the worst move in NBA history. He didn't even play out 50% of his contract and we acquired him when he was like 22. Thats just sad.

Hmmm, might be. McDyess trade cost us Camby and Nene (or arguably Amare) and McDyess never played a game. Houston signing just left us over the cap for 6 years and forced us to take on bad contracts in order to acquire "talent". Curry cost us our dignity, our respect for the players, $10M per year, a #2 draft pick overall (LaMarcus Aldridge) and the number 9 pick swapped for the number 23 overall (Joakim Noah for Wilson Chandler)-- all after we spent the MLE on Jerome James. I agree, perhaps the worst deal of all time.

I ddn't even remember that the mcd trade cost us 3 center and1 pf that are actual players....wow

BUT, you would have thought that Curry would have known about this sooner and could have communicated this to the Knicks.

Eddy Curry having sex with women that aren't fat is an example of what $11 million can do.
