Evil heartless fool? Well merry christmas to you too lol

But stupid? Try reading the new york times one day. You will find a dozen stories much more tragic than eddy’s every day. I feel sorry for those people too.

What you didn’t understand was that I was referring to eddy’s professional dilemma. I don’t think he has the right to demand minutes on this team while we are winning often close games. I don’t want to sacrifice wins in an attempt to fool other professional gms that eddy curry is worth taking a $12 million cap hit in the summer of 2010. Only play him if he can help us win. The fact is that we look horrible when he is on the floor. He should see garbage time only now.

This reminds me of marbury, these guys EXPECT to be be paid and to play no matter their circumstance, history, or skill set.There is a startling lack of reflection or self assessment. However, I completely agree, if they negotiate a fair settlement where everyone takes a haircut, fine. What is unacceptable is this consistent refrain…”pay me my entire contract because that is what you owe me and release me immediately so i can be a free agent.”

These guys signed a contract which they and the Knicks must honor, they don’t get to be “bought out” cause they lose playing time or fall out of favor. If they want “out” so bad then offer up some of that ridiculous money as a price for your free agency, if not, then sit quietly until your number is called or your contract expires.

I am so frustrated with these millionaire prima donnas and their fan supporters who put their short term individual success over the organizations long term outlook.

You miss the point entirely Knicks4life. Of course Curry doesn’t deserve another dime. In fact, if there was justice, he’d be forced to return the $20 million Dolan paid him to get fat and sexually harass his limo driver. But we don’t deserve Curry costing us the chance to sign 2 max free agents and finally build a winner. If the only way we can make that happen is to pay Curry to leave and free up some cap space, then I’m willing to put a few or my hard earned dollars towards that.

I don’t like Dolan, and I’m not looking to do him any favors, and if this were to ever actually happen then I would expect him to do something extra special for the fans who helped out.

yeah, it sucks to have a professional coach with a winning track record who has won consistently with multiple teams…i mean seriously, that just blows.

I can’t believe that Knick fans are that stupid to not know that we are trying to move this guy from the roster. We have to display him. We have a offensive coach so he should know how to get him the ball where he can be effective. I want this Guy out of here yesterday but any idiot knows in order for that to happen you have to prove to the GMs that Curry can still play. Who buys a used car without test driving it?

You have to feel something for a guy who has a three year old son who witnesed his mother murdered. If you dont feel sorry for someone who went through that you must be an evil, heartless fool.

I am in favor of playing Eddy Curry because he won’t be traded sitting on the bench. He is surely not going to give up his contract. Bottom line is that it is just ridiculus if u think this guy is going to give up free money. It is way too early to determine if he would be bad for the team. I rather see him in the 3rd Qtr of the Bulls game then seeing us take all those peremiter shots. He belongs on the Block when he is in the game having the offense feed off of him. It beats lauching those 3′s.

You don’t know what a player’s going through in his personal life – maybe he’s thinking about his children, maybe he didn’t have enough time to have lunch, maybe he’s just in a bad mood… It’s not that they don’t care about the Knicks, they just don’t know you.

I don’t think we all need to talk about what we’ve been though to justify Curry’s lack of professionalism – I didn’t expect him to play/to play well but he’s getting paid. You can’t tell me that he HAD to become overweight.

The fact that he’s feeling “frustrated” about his lack of PT is insulting! He worked hard to come back – that’s cool – but that’s what regular people do everyday! This guy would have been fired long ago in the job market!

Conclusion : Eddy Curry work hard and shut the hell up!

You can say that about Jon Bender a person who has been out of the game for 5 years but Id expect a different reaction from a Star..(Kobe, Lebron, Shaq, CP3)..
