He always was, and continues to be complete crap.

I'm fine with him getting minutes if it means we get to trade him. But I want no part of keeping him, and I hope to god he's out of here soon.

There was one offensive foul on Eddy that seemed to be phantom, but the dude is a machine in that area. And TOs.

He just does not know how to recognize the double time. Opposing teams do a delayed double on him. They wait for a second after he gets the ball, he looks around for the double team, and then as soon as he goes into his move it is like he fails to realize that the doubleteams often come after you make your move (not beforehand). If he can learn to pay attention when he makes his move, he can cut down on the turnovers.

How could Eddy reduce his turnovers?
Pay attention.

That's up there with Skile's "jump" answer on rebounding!

Sounds like it's just a bruise

Bruised never broken.

I was sadly mistaken

Eddy Curry has played five games since his return from nearly a two year absence. He has been back for about one week. Whatever incremental steps any player makes after returning from that length of absence is measured in weeks, not days.

In 2001-02 Eddy averaged 6.7 points and 3.8 rebounds. Curry shot 50 per cent from the field and 65.6 from the free throw line.

So far, in this small sample, Mr Curry has played 5 games.

The idea that Eddy Curry is a "non impact" player in your opinion is interesting. The moment he was inserted into his first game back, (10 points and 4 rebounds in ten minutes) the presence of the Knicks interior play changed immediately.

I am suggesting there are going to be more games to compile a reasonable sample from. While you are running around calling "spades" I would rather grant Eddy 2-3 months to learn how his new body works and enjoy the game.

I've watched him for years now, and he's just not a good player. Weight loss or not.

Put yourself in the suit of an NBA general manager... how much patience would you have for a recovering, 27 year old, 6'11 center who once averaged 19 and 7?

None because we all know he has absolutely no work ethic. He decided to lose weight because he needs money, not for the right reasons. His new conditioning has nothing to do with his desire to put others ahead of him and to place his focus towards helping this team. He has obviously demonstrated what he is capable of doing, and what he is capable of being, but he's just not interesetd. He did this to simply gain a new contract and escape bankruptcy.

We all know?

It would be best that you speak for yourself and yourself only. Monica Seles was stabbed during a match and she was never the same after that. Would you say she lost her "work ethic"?

JrZyHuStLa - how do you know that Eddy Curry is playing to avoid bankruptcy?

Did Marc Berman tell you?

If some scrub happeneds to be a Knick it is not obligated us to like him.
Eddy is scrub of the scrubs on NBA. He is taking somebody else place in the league.
All his value is expiring contract... next year. Now his value is -100.
Persnally I do not want to see him anywhere near the Knicks team.
And having him gone is really something to dream about, not his resurrection from bbal-dead.

Yep... I also hope he will not be in NY for too long... against the oods I still believe.

when a slob like curry gains 50283592835029385 pounds and becomes a balloon, EVERYONE KNOWS he has no work ethic. it's obvious.

let me give you the ONLY problems with the knicks, in no particular order:

-Curry
-Harrington
-Jeffries
-Duhon

that's it.
