I'm sure the Bulls would make the deal over and over as long as Curry didn't take a DNA test. They probably still believe Curry is going to drop dead on the court one day.

It was a good trade for the Knicks. The negative to it was last year's debacle, which set us back a season, whomever you want to blame for it.

oohah

let's say he keeps Curry, drafts a shotblocking presence w/the pick they used to get Sefolosha, & signs a rebounder like Reggie Evans w/the MLE... don't u guys think that Bulls team would be a lot better off than they are now?

if he kept Curry he wouldnt have Ben Wallace to put next to him. I have no doubt he still makes the trade.

Eddy has becomes a lethal scorer but he's also exibited all the justifications for the Bulls letting him go.

I actually think the move that really hurt him was trading Chandler who has been great for the Hornets.....

I wouldn't do the deal if i was the knicks over again, and i think paxson would do it in a heart beat they need another scorer and i am pretty sure someone like Jason Richardson would be a nice pickup for them....

However thats the one team where eddys lack of defense can be overlooked because they have a bunch of good defenders

two unprotected lottery picks? He could end up with the first pick in this year's draft.

there will be about a 1 in 100 chance of him landing the #1 pick from the Knicks if they continue on their current pace... he's more likely going to land the #10-#12 pick, while the Knicks get the #18-#20 pick.

Nobody expected the disaster that occured last yr with LB. So in the same vien, nobody expected the Knicks would give up a number 2 pick as most thought the Knicks would have a legit shot at a playoff spot last yr which would have had the Bulls picking 14-18 perhaps. Not trying to defend Isiah, because regardless, he still should have protected that pick in the top-5 at least.

in case you hadnt noticed that crap is happeneing this year too.. 50 game into it and Isiah is killing thiese dooches for their effort "they dont awanna win"

Sounds almost LB-eSQWOe!

Yes, the Bulls are a defensive and guard oriented team, Curry has no place on their roster.

You think we could do this deal in the offseason, I really love Shane and he would really make us a contender

Deng & Nocioni were both inexperienced rooks... Chandler was just coming into his own too... put that team back together now & they're a contender for sure.
