Mike tried that before and it backfired as it killed the good flow that the team had when he forced Curry into the mix.

What part of the 29 win season good flow did he ruin?

You don't remember how the team was going good and then Mike tried to insert Curry and it totally messed up the way the team was playing? It's all relative. GOOD for what that team was capable of doing. IT did happen, whether you remember it or not.

curry wont hurt any team chemistry, he never had it in him to lead this team, so his locker-room influence is not even an issue. lets see if he still got it, talent wise-- if he does, he will greatly help walsh trade him as something more than just a salary dump.

coach doesnt like him, he is not staying on the team, but coach needs to help walsh out, whether coach likes it or not.

The Knicks were 3-4 in the games he played in and they only won 23 more games. Curry played around a total of 60 minutes last year. My point in responding to this was that D'Antoni is in his third year of coaching Curry. Saying he doesn't know him is D'Antoni bs. He has never wanted to play a style anywhere close to something that would benefit him and has never wanted him on his team. He has been very quick to accept guys acquired by trade or signed and assimilate them into the offense. He doesn't want to adjust his offense to make Curry a weapon and doesn't want him on his team and he never has. Curry is most likely done and took care of any uncomfortable situations by destroying his body to the point where his talent cannot overcome it but that doesn't mean that when D'Antoni says he is not going to give up games to work guys in he doesn't know isn't b.s. The only difference this time is the guy has gone thru so much that he may never react to this years trip to the dog house that you don't return from unless Walsh travels with the team.

i can't believe you are trying to defend the usefulness of Curry.

By that he’s referring to the final two of the seven games Curry played last season.

In Charlotte, he played 5:58, during which he was a minus-7 and the Knicks committed seven turnovers.

Two days later in Chicago, he entered with the Knicks up 17 and after playing 3:38, he departed with the Knicks lead down to six.

Seeing how the offense ground to a halt in each game trying to get him involved, D’Antoni then benched him and Curry eventually underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in January that ended his season.
