will be paying Seth Curry 1/5 of what Mike Conley is going to get and you will have a great deal with a really good player on your hands. Seth is not quite as quick as Steph but as far as watching him--hes quality triangle PG all the way. He can dish it hes smart hes 6-3 hes a really good 3 pt shooter and he stays in front of his man.

Wouldn't it be better to say that Curry can be a special kind of tree that you've picked out among the forest?

I think this describes the tree/forest expression, by the way:

Can't see the forest for the trees - Dictionary.com

An expression used of someone who is too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole: “The congressman became so involved in the wording of his bill that he couldn't see the forest for the trees; he did not realize that the bill could never pass.”

We tend to focus on individual players (a tree) without giving due consideration to the make-up of a team (the forest)


I hope that this confuses things even more...

What if we traded two trees for three saplings and a few future protected acorns?

Good point! A palm tree won't thrive in a pine tree forest. A redwood cannot thrive among the birch.
Trees are not interchangeable.

Some heavy Zen shyt there.

We got a weeping willow making a $124m blocking all the sunlight from reaching the Garden. Burn the whole forest down and get us some tree saplings at Home Depot!

Thankfully we have a young Redwood that'll be here years and years.

Or maybe there's something in the floorboards that gives every tree planted here Dutch Elm disease.

...to be honest, it is also in line with the way Briggs looks at things.


On a more serious note- really hard to know about how an acorn will turn out, although I have to admit that I haven't done much research on acorns.

posting about it incessantly in a knicks forum isn't going to get your message to brass. it's only going to annoy the **** out of all the posters on the forum.

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Curry was just out there and available for a long time. The knicks were really bad and could have signed him. This was a miss on the Knicks part in my opinion. I think he would be a good free agent signing but he would have been a better call up from the d league.

Actually Briggs just wants to see the Knicks win a chip in his lifetime. I think 99/100 fans would be happy and down with Seth Curry and the Knicks would have the two highest selling jerseys and a great team for years
