The Bleacher Report has a piece dated December 7th listing their 12 most improved NBA players this year. There were no Knicks named. But what I found most impressive was that Steven Curry was on the list and he was joined by Shannon Brown that Donnie tried to trade for. Shannon is apparently having a great season for the Lakers. Particularly his 3 point shooting percentage dramatically higher. He is now shooting 43.1% from the 3 point line, and his effective field goal percentage is a smoking hot 58.1%.

Donnie had his eye on a great trading prospect from what I can tell as well as a great draft pick.
