I was originally in the undecided group, but now that I've seen them both getting a lot of minutes, I would very gladly offer Sweetney in a deal that landed us Eddy. Eddy's got substantial weaknesses that he needs to work on, but he's a gifted scorer. 16 PPG in just 29 MPG for a 22 year old low post scorer on a winning team is quiet impressive

until they start featuring Sweetney in the post im gonna remain undecided. every time they do Sweetney puts up big numbers. when they dont get him involved at all like lastnight of course he's gonna look like just another player!

just remember that there will be a manup thread after Sweetney has a monster game tomorrow!

22pts 11rebs 3blks!

i preferred Sweetney over Curry at the beginning of the season, & i still hold to that now...it's simply harder to find a young player w/the size & ability of a Curry than of a Sweetney imho...you hear so much about Sweetney's "work ethic this & work ethic that", but shouldn't he have lost the weight he's supposed to lose by now if he's such a hard worker like you all think he is? yes, he's got talent & he can rebound, but he's still got alot to learn to be a star player in this league just like Curry does...Curry has bigger upside potential & he's a C...to me it's a no brainer & always has been.

The only reason that I never liked that proposal was because of the price that we might endup paying for Curry (the underachiever)....
he wants a big paycheck, but he has yet to earn it.....I wouldn't want the Knicks to reward this dude with a huge contract mainly because of potential

agreed. sweetney will be a nice player, hard worker, talented, has shown he can be effective. curry is a TT in the making. all kinds of skill but just missing something to make him dominant.

sweetney- one of the last of layden's "character" players?

I agree with all of that. (I'm assuming you meant to say you prefer Curry over Sweetney in the first sentence based on the rest of your message.)

How about we just trade Sweetney for a first round pick this year and Grab Petro and Simien...

oops, thanks for catching that Bonn.

I used to like curry, but watching him closely the whole year, the guy does not seem to like rebounding at all, his defense is shotty, but he is a gifted scorer who can score down low with power..

sweetney is a good rebounder but the guy has very little lift, therefore he has to headfake and trick guys to get his shot off, I mean he just does not seem to have the abililty to post a guy and just go over him for the shot.. On defense sweetney makes some stupid fouls, just stupid, I think he will be a good player, a good starter? that is still up in the air for me..

has sweetney ever scored 20........he needs to be moved for a nice piece, we are set at powerfoward

Disagree. Keep the guy with the most upside and who's still under rookie contract.
