But as good as I think Sweetney can be where are we going with him is the question and the answer is nowhere. If they can sign Curry to a reasonable deal, I would bring back Ewing as an Assistant coach, great move but Isiah would stick with Acguire because he has no brains.

How and why would Ewing be a better teacher for a low post player than Aguire?

It would be hard to argue with getting Curry. I'm curios to see what people like Islesfan who wanted to rebuild would have to say about that. You would have a center, guard and wing player that are 24,21 and 19.

Ewing has no idea what it takes to be a great center, he lacked all the major attributes

1.Nearly leading a team of role players to a championship, and almost beating Jordan on numerous occasions
2.Couldn't shoot from anywhere on the court
3.Never defended the goal.
4.Always gave you the least amount of effort possible

Are you seriously asking this question, Ewing came into the league with limited offensive skills, other than being athletic and turned himself into an automatic jump shooter.

He could teach this kid about what it takes to make it in this city, how lead a team, and never take plays off. Acquire had Thomas, Dumar, Microwave, Lambeer, Rodman, and you are telling me because he wins a couple he could be a better teacher. Bottom line you put Ewing on that team, he has 4 rings maybe 5. They win from 89-93

I don't know if I want to agree with you about this Ewing argument. He was here in D.C working with Haywood and Kwame, they didn't learn a damn thing from him. Teaching Curry should be Agwire's job. He is a relentless and non-passive coach unlike Ewing. Curry is the type that needs a drill sergeant to push him.

Curry would not be about this year. He is a 21 year old kid. The bulls have to decide about his future. This is why drafting high school kids and asking them to perform right away is a joke. This kid is no Lebron, and it takes years for boys to become mentally tough. The NBA is a high pressure business. Isiah with Trevor and curry might do well because he likes to mentor the youngins.

I like sweets alot, but if his value can bring about Curry, and his potential, then its a risk I would be willing to make. Can Chandler handle center for the bulls? Vin can play some backup PF for us when thomas needs a rest.

But this is not about his "STATS" or what he can bring this year.

I said over a year ago IF we ever make a run it would not be about the players on the roster back then, and this is another example.


Curry along side Kurt would be nice for now. Curry needs veteran leadership in his face, and be in a player environment. I hate to lose Sweets.

We would have to draft a PF, and in the short term hope TT can shake his "GAZE" until his contract is done and Ariza is ready.

Of course at this rate, Ariza would last 3 years with the knicks!

Nalod, you have been ont he money, I have been having this argument on realgm, guys who know nothing about basketball, will go look at the stats on NBA.com and say man curry had just 4 points and 1 rebound, man he sucks.. But these are the same guys who didn't watch the game and see how he took adonyle foyle on the blocks overpowered him and went up right over him, and foyle is no slouch, they don't see his agility, or touch around the hoop, they don't look at his surroundings and how the guys don't properly feed the post or wait until the shot clock runs down to dump the ball into chandler or curry to make a miracle shot in the post. I saw all of this over the past few bulls games.... And worst yet, they sit and compare numbers of guys like Hakeem when they were rookies to guys like curry's, that is just assinine!!

I am willing to take a shot with this talent, I know he has a ways to go, but the reward can be so great...

if we do somehow make a deal with chicago, we should add in FW's contract in the trade so they release him.

How about Sweetney, TT, Moochie & $3 million for Curry, Antonio Davis & Frankie?

EC is not the only big man in this league. IMO we will lose someone special in Sweetney. Why can't we just wait until the off season. It not like we're gonna get EC and make a run for the Title. I've said it before in other threads, ever since IT has became the "King of NY" Knicks fans have lost their patients. We're not even 10 games into the season.

It's not just about the EC-Sweetney deal. We're even talking about trading KT, TT, Penny, and Nazr; even talking about getting rid of Lenny. Like I said, no one has patience since IT has be in NY. If anyone needs to be traded it should be TT. IMO trading Sweetney is not a good idea.

U have to make the trade if Bulls are willing to accept. Curry will end up leaving Bulls reguardless becuase in the end they aren't going to give him the money he wants.

Sweetney though he will become a very good NBA player in the future. He is only 21yrs old averaging 10-5 off the bench. Good PFs aren't hard to come by. Marbury could have the center he never had, Curry can have the superstar player/PG he never had. Plus Curry will be around vets not other highschoolers.

Curry/Muhammad
KT/Williams
TT/Ariza
Houston/Hardaway
Marbury/Crawford

could do damage in the playoffs plus we have our first rd pick to maybe add an athletic PF for the future to compliment Curry.
