Frye has, in flashes, been aggressive on the defensive end- I haven't seen that from Curry.

Plus- Frye is a better passer than Curry & seems to have a higher BB IQ...

If Eddie tries, then him, but if it's more of the same, I give the nod to Frye who does try hard all the time.

Frye is a better fit on this team easily. I think at center Frye could be a decent defender, he does at least try. he's not fast enough for the PF spot, which is why his defense looks so bad there, he's out of position. but im really tired of Curry, its at the point where I dont care when he scores, because its just so disgusting to watch him play defense. Isiah should tell him that if he plays hard on defense the rest of the way, he will buy him all the McDonalds he wants the entire off-season, maybe that will motivate him.

So if you can't figure it out, I goin with Frye.

Lets ask Lebron of DWade this question and if we can move eddy and jamal for a friend of theirs and they would then sign with the team.

Or we could just move Curry, Nate and Crawford to the Bobcats for Wallace and their pick

Curry... Frye's completely clueless out on the floor & doesn't command nearly the amount of attention on the low post as Curry does, yet Curry still remains effective scoring in the low post... Channing gets most of his points on open perimeter jumpers w/an occasional 1 on 1 post move down low... Curry's upside to become a star is a lot higher than Frye's imo
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Curry. Cuz he's already better at being a Center (offensively, drawing doubles). They both have a ways to go on defense even though Frye might be a smidge better right now.
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.

This is a good poll. I think it can be argues that Curry's presence is impacting Frye's developmental minutes at Center. Very interesting hypothetical to install Frye and move Curry but thats all it is. Never gonna happen.

They're both ridiculously overrated and aren't worth wasting 2 years on.

bingo.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

Frye WAS overrated by just about everyone last season. Not anymore though. Curry though, that's a different story. Always was, always will be.

Not everyone. I never and still think we shouldn't have drafted him.

Ditto. With that being said, I still love the guy and root for him like heck. But D-Bag has no vision and picked him over superior talent.

I agree, I'll always root for the guy as long as he wears a Knicks uni, but Bynum, Granger or Gerald Green was the way to go with that pick.
