Knicks get Eddy Curry - Page 8

Marbury is a loser and a team killer. The only good thing about him is that when teams trade him away, they always get a lot better. The good news is that since Larry Brown is more important than him, he will either become a winner or he will be traded. That's really the good news with the entire team. People are underestimating the Larry Brown factor. Fellating LB almost makes up for all of Isiah's mistakes.

I am crazy to think the Knicks could win the Atlantic Division this year. With LB at the helm the starters should be

PG Stephon Marbury 21.7 3.0 8.1
SG Jamal Crawford 17.7 2.9 4.3
SF Quentin Richardson 14.9 6.1 2.0
PF Eddy Curry 16.1 5.4 0.6
C Jerome James 4.9 3.0 0.2

and coming off the bench will be

F-C Antonio Davis 7.0 5.9 1.1
F-C Channing Frye -- -- --
G Allan Houston 11.9 1.2 2.1
G Nate Robinson -- -- --
F Malik Rose 8.3 4.4 0.7

They are better then Boston, Toronto and Philly.(IMO) I think the only team that might be better is NJ.

We've got an extremely talented backcourt, and a deep and strong front line. The problem is that everyone on the roster has had trouble actually playing as well as they're capable. It's really all going to come down to how much LB can squeeze out of these guys, and with his track record as far as getting people to play their best ball, we have every reason to be optimistic.

We will not win the division though. New Jersey is leaps and bounds ahead of New York. And depending on fast Boston's kids develop, they might not be far behind. I don't see Philly doing much this year, although Webber still has a chance to prove me wrong. I still think New York has an excellent chance of making the playoffs (if the Curry deal goes actually goes through that is), although home court is out of the question.

I like the rebounding numbers of your frontcourt. And that the two best defenders are on your bench -- AD and Rose -- and both are quite limited in what they bring to the table.

The Knicks will have to be one of the highest scoring teams in the league because they are going to give up a ton of points.

NJ is much better and I think Philly has the edge despite their lack of depth simply because they have a much better defensive team. Boston and Toronto are both pretty bad.

The Knicks are a dog to make anything higher than a 7 seed.

ESPN Radio News in Boston is reporting that Eddie has failed the physical. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

It's good for the Knicks I think. Sucks to give up Sweetney - I think he's gonna be a solid player.

Btw, what are the Bulls doing with Deng, Sweetney and Tim Thomas at SF?

Weird, ESPN.com is saying that the trade went through and doctors have cleared him to play.

Curry at training camp, it looks like he cleared.

Sweetney is a 270 lb PF. Deng is one of the Bulls cornerstone players at SF, so he will be the starter. TT will come off the bench for a year then sign elsewhere, most likely.
