Curry's contract isn't that bad relative to the league and what he gives you (even though its one dimensional). I think you can move him.

I said it on another thread- Curry, Craw for Dalembert, Korver, Ollie (expiring) and a pick. Sixers need scoring badly and have been tired of Dalembert's erratic game. We need defense and shooting. The money is almost a wash.

What about the heart thing. Is that a non-issue now?

I don't see why it would be- the Knicks had numerous doctors proclaim he's healthy and he's played >2 years now without a blip related to that issue.

I should rephrase, his device that pumps blood thing is no longer an issue.

I know this thread is about the blocks, but I think we need Andre Miller more than Dalembert. Now if the Sixers are really tired of Dalembert and want to get rid of his salary, we could do a trade of Dalembert and Miller for Marbury, cash, a protected first round pick. The sixers would be able to clear alot of cap room for the summer of 2009 and would have an extra draft pick. If we brought in Dalembert and Miller, we might be able to save this season. With a competent PG running the team, the Knicks should win 38-40 games. Plus, you can put Dalembert with Randolph or Curry and have a defensive presence on the court. Assuming Dalembert could guard pfs, you could trade Lee for Artest and really round out the rotation. We would either have an utter mess or a team that could really compete. Miller turned the Sixers around and they have less talent than this Knicks team. A competent head running this team should be enough to move us in the right direction.

Thats funny you got Brown waiting int he wings for Cheeks to get tossed out and you want to reunite the two together.

If I am Cheeks, I push for that move to get rid of Brown b/c LB wants no part of Marbury.

Philly is turned around? They are 2-6 right now. They had a decent little stretch last year but so did we.

having said that I would like to see the Haitian Sensation in our front court, and I've always liked Miller, he has not been on a lot of successful teams as a pro, but I like his demeanor on the court.

Only thing is as bad as our shooting is now, with Delambert and Miller, it actually gets worse.

We would win some games with defense, but holy smoke the games would be ugly! (Like the Clippers game every night!)

You guys would ship Dalembert back to Haiti the first chance he puts on the orange and blue uniform. People need to stop with the grass is green senario. Philly is equally bad as the Knicks and actually are in a worse situation than the Knicks. Only thing I want from Philly is their back court to go with the NYK front court. You can't tell me you guys wouldn't be excited about a lineup of:

Miller pg
Igudala sg
Chandler sf
Randolph pf
Curry c

Lee sixth man off bench.

Knicks would win games with that.

I think a guy like Korver makes sense because he can spread the floor with Zach. You're dreaming if you think we can get Miller and Dalembert in the same deal. I would welcome Miller with open arms, but I think Philly is much less likely to move him.

By the time Philly put together a team, Miller will be 30+. Trade him for a draft pick and cap room. We send them a protected pick (top-3 protected). Miller, Crawford, Q, Randolph, and Curry would win some games. You make Crawford solely a catch and shoot guy, and let Miller handle the post entry passes. The IQ of the offense goes up tremedously. Bring in Dalembert to wipe away of few mistakes and match him up with Randolph and Balkman and our defense improves significantly.

What cap room can we give them? We don't have anyone who's contract runs shorter than Miller's save for Jones' small deal.
