Can anyone post a screenshot? I can't view UStream on my phone and I am curious about Eddy's conditioning.

Dude, he had a ustream back in June and looked thin as hell, yet when he was in Summer league, a couple of weeks later, he looked like the same ol' Eddie. Anyone can make themselves look good on a webcam if they really tried.

What ever happened to hot girls dancing? Now we are checking on the weight status of big Eddy?

Are we men or Bonnies?

LOL, I don't understand what the point of posting Eddy Curry pics is. As if his weight loss is going to make him good. Right.

With the number of pretty boys in the NBA, maybe teams will take him if he looks good!!

This what most people think. If Eddy will be 280 we will be able to move him.
It always easier to move 280 pounds that 350.

Eddy IS good. He's just also really fat and slow. If he eliminates those two traits, he'll just be good, and teams love good, agile, 6'11" scorers.

The thing about being fat, ugly, and slow, is that it's very difficult to work against those traits, thereby turning the into their opposites: thin, good lookin', and quick.

Eliminating the fat turns Eddy into a average center, not a good one. Until he learns how to pass from the double team, score without turning the ball over every 60 seconds, and play some type of defense, he will not be "good." Eliminating the fat might help with his defense. But the passing and turnovers will not improve without him gaining a higher BB iq.

Eddy won't be used the way we've seen in the past. He won't be a primary option and that will hide many of his faults. He's going to Likely be used in pick n roll and he'll get a lot of quick hit dump offs from teammates who drive or are about to shoot a 3. All he'll have to do is catch and finish, which he's great at.

If he's lighter he should be a tad more active on D and the boards. He won't be an avg center. He'll be a bit above that IMO.

I agree....you can't name 5 centers that score as easily as Curry.
Shaq, Yao and Howard is all I can think of.
Duncan, Garnett, R. Wallace and Amare are not centers IMO.

A slimmed down Curry is above average no questions asked.

to me, defense and rebounding are about effort/desire (plus some skill/talent for sure). hasnt that been something he has always shown a real lack of, effort/desire/heart/toughness? how does dropping weight increase that? being able to move easier wont equal increased effort on rebounds and defense.

if he does show improved def/rebounds, good. if not, no one should be shocked.
GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!!

Eddy can probably lose some weight but if man has no love to play he will never be good.
Forget about him. He is done as a player.

THat is really my point. I don't dispute that he has top-5 offensive talent. But his lack of defense and rebounding for a big man as agile as him is astonishing. Plus, you simple cannot ignore his inability to pass or avoid turnovers. Maybe MDA will figure out how to use him where he can caught and shot without having to make many decisions, but that is only going to work for so long until teams adjust defensively. Curry will probably put up 17 pts and 6 rbs if he comes into camp at 305 of real weight loss (not just water and weight loss attributable to his colon cleansing). But our number one objective must be to trade him. My sincere hope is that he looks great in MDA's offense and we are able to convince a team like the Timberwolves or OKC to give us a young prospect and cap space for him.
