as for curry. my man is SO one dimensional it's not even funny. he cares ZERO about rebounding. ZERO. these are his past 5 games rebouding #'s: 2, 6, 12, 2, 3.

offensively, he got moves but he is SOFT. it's tough to give up on a 21 year old center but i'd much rather have a defensive center and get my points from the PF position.

just trying to find out more info... you calling Curry soft cause of the stat's or have you been watching the games. Seems weird that a 7-footer isn't getting the rebounds. Maybe he is just inept in that area.

"He doesn't rebound, block shots, or play any defense."

Seems like he'd fit right in with our current Knicks then.

i watch ALOT of games on league pass. and the bulls are one of the teams i've been watching closer than others this season so it's not the numbers. he's good offensively. he knows what he's doing. but there's something with him where he just doesn't have the hunger or passion to rebound. he's often caught looking at the basket, not in position. VERY similar to a bunch of players we have here. as the shot goes up, they just look at it. when you see tyson chandler fighting for position, and i'm not even talking about getting the rebound, but simply fighting for the position, and then you look at this 7 footer who should be the 2nd most dominating physical presence in the game, you're left shaking your head. no 7 foot center should be inept in that area.

now, he's only 21 and has YEARS and YEARS and YEARS ahead of him, so that may change eventually. but you can see why paxson has a tough decision to make, especially if he's demanding the max.

i'm not killing him on the block shots or defense b/c that takes years to learn in the nba and only if you have a good coach teaching you. but a guy at his size not rebounding just tells me he never had the passion to do it. it's almost a physical given that some of those balls should fall into your hands, if you're playing the center position correctly.

Screw that, Curry is just plain lazy. If any GM gives up a 1st round pick for this guy, they should fired and that includes Zeke. I mean I could have seen it last year but this is your contract year and you still are putting up no effort. Doesn't say much about when you finally get paid does it. I expect him to bloat up once he signs whatever deal. He is content with himself. I hear that is the same deal with Kwame Brown, man that 2001 draft...
