why the F CK would they be showing curry and crawford having fun in SC?
why is eddie there with his trainer?
AD comes down to SC and then LEAVES the next day b/c of some family emergency?

isiah can't just call out AD and say "F HIM" but i bet he doesn't want to play and they're trying to work something out.

AD is the president of the player's association and with this new CBA, he has to report.

he'll either have to retire or we suspend him. we are NOT waiving him.

the hold-up is AD...not curry. WHY THE F CK would they be showing curry there? it would be TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE for this organization to do that.

curry is fine...it comes down to AD.

"this isn't charity" - clearly isiah is frustrated by AD's refusal to come to ny.

what do you guys think?

I think they were just collating data, and some dr.'s took time off this week for a holiday.

If AD retires, are we off the hook for his salary?

Its on him now right?

unless its been reported that AD is AWOL you really don't know. It's not like he can practice until the trade is finalized.

speculation... folks is getting antsy...

isiah likes dramatics

From the NY Times (and the "any word on curry passing his tests?" thread...

REBOUNDS

Antonio Davis returned to Chicago on Thursday, and the Knicks appeared to begin to set the stage for his possible release. Davis, acquired in the Eddy Curry trade, went home to be with his wife, whose mother is having surgery. But Davis has also made it clear to the Knicks that he was unhappy with the trade. "He was really down last night," said Coach Larry Brown, who coached Davis in Indiana. Brown seemed ready to oblige Davis if he wants to be waived to return to Chicago. "I don't want to stand in the way if he doesn't feel comfortable," Brown said. "I'd be disappointed, but you don't want somebody that doesn't want to be here." If the Knicks cut Davis, they will still have to pay him the $14 million left on his contract, or reach a buyout agreement. Isiah Thomas sounded reluctant to do so. "He really has no choice," Thomas said. "This isn't charity." ... Quentin Richardson, Jerome James and Stephon Marbury sat out both practices Thursday, each nursing a strained left hamstring. Richardson and James have missed three consecutive sessions. ... With only 12 players healthy and available, the Knicks signed forward Matt Barnes, who practiced Thursday morning.

exactly joe, make the deal W/O the picks, and the bulls throw in $3mil and we'll waive AD so they can have that cry baby back.

so it would be tim + sweets for curry + AD + $3 mil

btw, i read on realgm that when AD was in toronto, he was caught cheating and his wife and kids moved back to chicago. that's why AD was pouting and forcing a trade back there.

Isiah is right, Ad has no choice and this isn't charity, if you don't wanna earn your 14 million in New York, then retire or we work out a buyout highly favorable to us or chicago reworks the trade, but under no circumstances does he get waived and we pay him 14 million because hes a million dollar crybaby!!!

I think AD would be pivotal in getting off to a good start. Having a veteran tough presense like that who can play either pf/c would have been big. Especially when you figure this group is short on rebounders. JJ is on pace to miss his usual 20+ games already, and that leaves you with Curry, Frye, Rose, Mo T. Good talent but its a little light to start.
