That way of thinking got Isiah to trade a huge chunk of great pieces for him, and he failed miserably.



Didn't we give the Bulls Thomas, Sweetney and Jackson for Curry and Davis?

Didn't they pick up Ty Thomas with the Lottery pick and Noah with the swapped pick? I think we selected Wilson Chandler with Chicago's 33rd pick.

please correct me if I'm wrong.

"Curry missed the boat once, I GUARANTEE YOU he won't miss it again. You are exactly right though, he will be treated like he is in his rookie season and he'll have to earn his minutes."

Rookie - great post. Eddy assumed that reporting in what he though was acceptable condition was acceptable. Whether the infection was caused by a tattoo or not, he was overweight while knowing that D'Antoni teams like to run. Those two episodes reveal that Curry has an over-inflated opinion of himself that is the by-product of years of pampering.

Nate, on the other hand, has been forced to prove himself from the moment he hollered "I got next" on a Seattle playground at age 15. You go Nate.

To his credit, D'Antoni not only has talked about changing the culture of the franchise, he has fearlessly made unilateral decisions to enforce the prime directive:

You Suck. (or sulk) You Sit.

Excellent points misterearl

No.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Anything wrong with adding a little of this to our offense?

The Heaven story:
"And God created Adam and let him leave in Heaven.
And then he was saddened that Adam was alone;
And he took his bone; the one without brain; and created Eddy Curry;
And he said them not to eat the fruit from the tree;
But Eddy eats all fruits from all trees and became fat and lazy...
And then God benched him and trade him to hell for Eva;
That’s how Adam got his wife..."

i think eddy was on the way to getting a little better but maybe that home invasion didnt help either. still, as long as he is on the roster he will do himself a favor if he gets in good shape no matter what.
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

Do you think the rubbers were hired by Celtics fans?

Yes there is. He slows down the entire team and really makes plays only for himself and nobody else. The offense becomes stagnant with him in a game since he is so slow and barely passes/sucks at passing out of a double team.

The only reason he needs to play is to show some semblance of a game so he can be traded and not that he's actually any good.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

u could very well argue that we got the best player out of that trade afterall.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Yep, in a strange twist of irony, you could make a strong argument actually did get the better end of the deal by getting Wilson Chandler and Eddy Curry for Noah, Thomas, Sweetney and Tim Thomas.

What's worse- getting hosed like Isiah, or hosing Isiah and blundering it.

Anyway, I think Noah and Thomas will be much better once they're on other teams.

And before you say it- I realize the cap implications change the equation. Just funny that on a talent level, thus far, it doesn't seem to have been as lopsided as it should've been.

I'm going to hang my ass out there and agree with Briggs.
I think Curry can be a useful piece, and y'all hating on
him a little harsh. No D, yes. But if he can control his offensive fouls,
I'm sure Mike can get a lot out of him -- maybe even teach him to pass...

No hating here, just being realistic. He sure could help if/when he gets in shape, and Mike D will find some use to him and make him look good in his system somehow. But in the end, the best is to trade him for guys that could maybe help as much but have less millions in their contracts.

There are no plus's in your scenario here. And a big negative with 'if he can control his offensive fouls'? If that's all we can possibly get out of this guy, then it's simply not worth it at all. It's not hatred, it's plain and simple facts. For his size you should be talking about his boxing out the middle, rebounding and scoring almost at will. But 'offensive fouls'?

Come on dude, you gotta give us more to believe in.
I'll never trust this' team again.

I have been looking at the league and trying to figure out which team can use Curry. The obvious are there. Miami and Charlotte....but 1 team seems to have the players(contracts) and an extra pick that is very enticing. oklahoma City. They are in the bottom of the league right now and need players to help Durant. How about this trade..

Curry and DLee for Joe Smith(expiring), Wilcox(expiring) and their 2nd first rounder via Spurs.

This deal can really fortify their front court. Curry, DLee and Durant would be pretty good. They have some defensive minded back-up centers in Sene and Petro. They also have Westbrook, Watson and Desmond Mason in the backcourt.

We get rid of Curry's contract and parlay DLee into a 1st rounder so we don't have to pay him. Wilcox used to be promising but I really don't follow him to even pretend to know what he can do now.

I think this is a good deal for both parties.

This is a very solid deal, though I would try to get THEIR first rounder in place of the Spurs' one. Why? Because D-Lee's value should be up right now and if they trade for Curry its because they plan to make him an important part of their team. But the deal you propose is solid. Hope it could happen.
