Call me crazy all you want, but 70 million is a hell of a lot of money to pay for Curry......

I actually like the deal, mainly because we didn't have to trade any of our other young studds. Look, Zeke must know a thing or two about Curry's heart issues, because he doesn't appear to worry too much abot this deal. However, with the departure of Sweetney and TT, we will have a much more balance roster. Our starting lineup can easily be the largest in the league: Marb, Q, Ariza, Curry and James......or Marb, Houston, Q, Curry and James.....or Marb, Q, Lee, Frye and James ......that is a lot of options.

Isiah and Brown are not playing....We must admit, the basketball gods have been on our corners.....

"One published report said the contract had the first $40 million guaranteed, but that incentives could make it worth $70 million"

so basically, he has the same contract as Jerome James, barring incentives. My guess is if he earns those incentives, we won't mind paying them.

you are right. These are the types of contracts that players around the league need to get. You have to perform to get pay...

AD's worth about $2 mil now. That's what he'd get as an FA. The other $12 mil we're paying him only so that we could get Curry. So, we're probably spending about $20 to 25 mil really to have Curry next season. I don't care how much Dolan spends, but I find that total pleasantly amusing!
