I like Bynum. He reminds me of a young Eddie Curry. Especially the way everybody is falling all over themselves about how good he will be when his talent and experience come together. Just like they did about Curry when he was 19.

Aside from the fact that Bynum is already a better rebounder, shot blocker, defender and passer than Curry you make a great point.

And I don't even have to extrapolate Bynum's numbers over 35 minutes to do it.

All those teams that you mention have a ton of cap space, the bobcats have a positive future because they are sitting tight, the bulls have made the playoffs the past two years and their younger players are maturing, the grizzles have some young talent and a player that everyone wants and will instantly have cap room if they move him....

Isiah has ****ed the franchise with his contracts and marginal talent. Frye is not really all that hot of a commodity anymore. Last year we could have had boozer or odom who is unstoppable by the way and far better than anyone on the knicks.

If you think teams are lining up for our young talent your mistaken, Lee is the player that any winning team would want, but if you were a team you would much rather have Thomas, Deng, and Gordon because they do a variety of different things well, Thomas we will have to wait and see but the knicks big man aside from Lee only do one thing. Frye shoot the ball (if you think he has anything else to his game your on drugs) Curry is a dumb player with an amazing post game, can;t handle the double probably because Cato mentioned Isiah doesn't practice doing it in practice....

Any if i posted last years stats i apologize but he was second to last and i don't see him that high on the list this year.

Briggs you sound like bynum's dad or something.

Bynum looked like he was playing on ludes last night. He looked like he could care less--PJ left him in the 1st Q to pick up that 3rd foul likely on purpose. He did come out with a spark in the 2nd half and somehate disappeared. He plays like this once in awhile--seemingly out of the play--you have to chalk it up to the reality is that he is a 19 year old kid who still needs a tremendous amount of strength and conditioning work. While he has an NBA frame--just think back to when you were 19 and compare it to 23. He's played very well--I'm sure they couldnt be more pleased--but last night was not a good night for him. I think I posted something previously that there was a good chance that Curry could get him in FT. That being said--there was a lot of things he usually does--that he didnt do. It's very hard and unfair to compare the two players right now.

that's gotta work both ways... if Bynum comes out & has a good game, you'd have seen all kinds of threads on this board saying how much better he is than Curry just like all those ridiculous Jackie Butler, etc. threads of a year ago.

I was all prepared like news services having obits ready for people who aren't dead yet but could go at any minute.

I saved the text of my planned thread and several replies to potential responses in Microsoft Word. I had a few charts in Excel also. Now I don't know what to do with these documents!

Another game no David Lee. Curry plays 46min and puts up his staus quo 7reb. But it's David Lee's fault as to why he doesn't get more rebounds.

True, didn't Curry grab 11 vs the Heat the other night going up against Shaq? how come i didn't hear you after that game? he had a bad game vs the Celtics... the energy wasn't there on either end, you could see it... i'm pretty sure not having Jamal in the game effected him the most... i would have hoped Isiah noticed this & put Cato in the game when they needed a defensive stop.
