Eddie Curry & Bill Walker

for

Shane Battier & Jared Jefferies, plus a draft pick bc of Walker's upside and club option.

Everyone else is in the last year of their contracts. I can't stand watching Jefferies shoot but he's a good defender. Battier is a good 3pt shooter and defender. Both players will be good for our young players.

A trade for a player like Carmello wouldn't happen until the trade deadline. By that time Jefferies & Battier would be eligible to be traded.

Last time I checked, the Houston Rockets play professional basketball. They're not involved in hot dog eating contests.

Isiah should never work for the Knicks in any capacity ever again. He has no understanding of money. Must be why Dolan likes him.

Curry does not currently have a $5M trade kicker-- it would violate the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Curry had a $5M tradekicker when he signed the deal. But trade kickers are limited to 15% of the remaining contract value. This year it is approximately $1.6M.

No offense to Tommy Dee--- because I am sure he means well, but this is just another instance of him reprinting something on another website without looking into the plausibility of the facts. This is the problem with what he and RealGM do on their sites, they restate faulty or incorrect information, varying it slightly and make it seem like fact. This one is bogus.

Taken directly from Article XXIV of the 2005 CBA:

"A trade bonus shall not exceed 15% of the Base Compensation remaining to be earned by the player pursuant to the Contract at the time of the trade (excluding an Option Year if not yet exercised)."

The Knicks could throw in the money on any deal with Curry to compensate for the kicker.

How much that even matters when he would be conssider a salary dump, if he gets traded by the dead line, more then half the year will be done..

The only way the knicks are trading curry, is if there's a serious upgrade involve, why use his potential cap space, for mediocre players

If he plays good then teams will want him early in the year, and if he plays bad, well then he can sit on the bench all year until (maybe) we use his expiring to acquire another player. I say he is just going to sit. I don't think we do any favors for this guy.

Lets hope he sits quietly.

Your team has to be completely focused on getting him the ball when he's in the game because he's terrible at receiving the ball and all he can do is score, so if you're not having him take his shot every possession then he's a negative on the floor.

A team would only take him on to get rid of salary and we're not going to give up a shot at Melo for whatever upgrade we could get in return for Curry.

It's a new position in NBA for big man who cannot play bbal invented by bbal innovator Isiah Tomas - Salary Dump.

Chandler is on Dallas
