Curry Not Answering Knicks Calls

Until we get rid of Curry the Knick can’t really turn the Isiah page. This should be the year that Curry comes in and plays his best Basketball because this is his contract year. It’s obvious the Curry is depressed and there are things at work that we can’t see

This is the guy that everyone thinks is going to be traded for Melo. No one is going to ever take Eddy off the Knicks hands.

Isn’t there any way the Knicks can substantially fine this fat, lazy, worthless slob? He entered into a contract for alot of money and does not put himself in position to fulfill the terms of the contract. There is something very wrong here.

When Curry is out of basketball next year, maybe he can become Isiah’s consultant (although, never put it past Dolan to do something stupid…again).

I wish there was some way the Knicks could get out of paying him for this coming year. I know if I were to treat my employeers this way I’d be out of a job and paycheck REAL quick…I do not even care about the cap space, all I am looking for is real world and not the world of professional pampered athletes…

When he’s no longer in the league and approaching bankruptcy, Fat Eddy will wistfully recall the wasted years in the NBA. Another exmaple of a guy who became a pro ballplayer for the wrong reasons. Though it’s not all his fault. After all, he didn’t draft himself out of high school, nor did he force Isiah Thomas to give up so much for him.

This guy really ceases to amaze me.You would think this being his last year he would go all out and want to redeem himself.I guess he really is hopeless….

Eddy can’t practice .. he’s got a 2nd job teaching Pilates and Ballet in Ocean City, NJ …

i honestly pray for him… This is a suicide waiting to happen… smh ….

Yup. Dude is a wreck.
Would love to sue him though, for breach of contract.
I know other depressed people who won’t make in their life what he makes in a month, but they still show up for work and call their boss back when he/she calls.

Jeff – At this point he is just an expiring contract, and that chip is all that the other team is interested in.

I can see the Knicks telling Curry to just stay home.

What other team?

There is no other team.

Marbury was just an expiring also and look what we got for him. You can’t trade a team cancer that is fat, lazy, and stupid to anyone.

Any chance we have of trading him will only be at or close to the trading deadline, when a team that needs cap relief only has to deal with him for part of the year. There is no chance we can trade him now.

Marbury couldn’t be traded because the Knicks were clearing capspace.

Only way he would’ve been traded is for a longer contract – obviously it wasn’t possible.

Yea but Starbury was making 23M. Hard to make the numbers work with that contract. Not the same scenario here.

Eddy Curry is the Knicks’ Carl Pavano.

I hope he’s dead… He’s without a doubt the biggest plague on us since pollution and global warming.

He’ll be dead or in jail within the next 3-5 years .. I’m not a hater but it’s the truth .. The guy just isn’t smart & that will be his ultimate downfall ..

Chill homie.He might be worthless in basketball a standpoint but don’t go that far.

I’m not holding back. He should seriously kill himself. He couldn’t do the simple and already useless task of being entertainment for the rest of the world. From where I stand, he has nothing to offer to society.

The saddest part is that after he blows this paycheck……..we’ll be supporting him, because he’ll prolly be collecting welfare.

^ douche bag

Hmm so from your logic if a ballplayer fails to entertain you they should kill themselves…..interesting.Listen i’m far from an Eddie Curry fan but if thats really how you feel then perhaps you should take your own advice.

He had to deal with that homosexual lawsuit thing from his limo driver… That quieltly went away with a pay out.

The only reason I point this out is because I think the man has alot of weird issues and just wants out. Out of the team. Out of basketball. Out of the public eye.

YOU’RE A ASSHOLE!!!!!! WITNYC NYK!!!

NO MATTER HOW MUCH I LOVE MY KNICKS I WOULD NEVER WISH THAT ON A HUMAN BEING!! GET A LIFE……..

Look, its obvious Eddie Curry has a lot of personal issues and really needs to go to therapy and deal with these issues. Hey, Im not one to judge. Im educated and come from a great family and I still screw up a lot and its taken me until my late 20s to figure some stuff out. So I can’t be surprised that some straight out of high school kid who is given all this money would get out of control like this.

But whether we should feel sorry for him or not and whether The Knicks should have to still pay him are 2 different questions. You can sympathize for a player on a human level and still be disgusted by the fact that he has taken millions of dollars from the Knicks the last 2 and a half seasons and hasn’t done his job at all. It just blows my mind that the Knicks have no other choice but to keep paying him. That is screwed up.

You know what elese is screwed up? Maybe this was posted here somewhere, but I heard that apparently the Miami Heat fired all of their ticket rep people because they know that the next 5 years they won’t have any problem selling tickets.

So Lebron going to Miami cost a bunch of working class people their jobs.

Typical of this country in 2010.

Its gotten to the point where I don’t even dislike the guy. I just feel sorry for him. It seems like he has no motivation to succeed as a player or a human being. I hope he turns his life around.

Since The Nuggets Are At The Cap A Contract like Eddy’s is required to make a trade for Melo work since most Young talent contracts are worth 1-4 million dollars.

curry will not play basketball again in his life,the knicks can trade him etc,the knicks nor the team if he gets traded will see him,he’s been officially retired,DANNI BOY stamped his retirement papers last season

I share no sympathy for anybody in the entertainment business. They offer nothing tangible to the greater good. They seek money & fame and when they have it, they squander it. I could care less about them. Say what you want about me, but there are a lot of useless people out there who are better off dead and not wasting all of mankinds resources.

I expected better from you Tommy, you and I know this Story isn’t true I’ve seen the whole article and you took an excerpt out which is very misleading. It said in the beginning when he said he would be in Vegas they couldn’t reach him but they were able to after and he hired a trainer and he’s back in nj where he was last summer working out. I never expected a Isola or Berman tactic from you Tommy guess I was wrong. Slimeball reporting just seems to come from all the ny reporters no wonder why they can’t seem to break a story on the team they’re suppose to be covering.

This is what is so bizarre about the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement: How on earth is this legal anymore? If you sign a contract to provide a service (Curry’s labor) to a firm that is paying you for it (the Knicks) and you make absolutely no good faith effort to deliver that labor and yet still demand and collect the payment for it, in any other area of the business world, in practically any country on this planet that has the rule of law, that is called fraud. The contract can be voided, you can be legally compelled to pay back the money, and if you don’t you can be thrown in jail. It is absolutely insane that the NBAPA has such leverage that they can create a system in which a contract must still be honored even if the contractee refuses to honor it. I’m all against the owners being greedy, and hope they don’t force their hand too much and cause a lockout next year, and I’m certainly pro-labor politically, but its stuff like this that is the reason the league’s business model is broken. And it’s stuff like this that gives unions a bad name. This has to change.

u know,u gotta spice up your articles some times,it’s business never personal

It work for the Knicks. It’s not working for the Nuggets.

If a team is dumb enough to sign Eddy Curry long term guaranteed, it’s not the union’s fault. I’m tired of hearing union members taking the blame for management mistakes.

Scott Skiles was asked what Wddy Curry needed to do to improve his rebounding skills. Skiles answered with one word, Jump! That’s the guy we signed long term guarantedd. No one else was after him.

Man! His GF and baby daughter got murdered like a year ago, he got tied up and robbed at gunpoint a year before that, he’s got heart problems… he sucks at basketball and he’s paid too much but dude has seen some bad sh!t that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Suicide is not a joke.

yes, the management is dumb for ever trusting a guy. but you can’t have a one man strike. it defeats the purpose.

he can honor is contract by getting in shape and showing up ready to play, which he hasn’t been doing. if he did that (like he did do a few years ago) and they still don’t play him because he’s bad, well that’s the team’s problem. but if he doesn’t even try to not be able to play, then that’s on him. if you are an auto worker and you just refuse to learn the new tools needed to do your job and stop showing up to work because you don’t know how to use the tools anymore, while all the other auto workers are showing up and doing there thing as normal, that’s on you, that’s not on management anymore. even if they were idiots for hiring you in the first place, now they’d be able to fire you, with grievance, for being a terrible employee. except you can’t do that with guaranteed contracts in the nba.

To keep it real , some things in life are far more important than basketball. Owners are stupid enough to and over large amounts of money to kids and expect them to work hard when their work ETHIC is unproven. What do we expect? I wish Eddy was ballin’ like he could but he’s not. He might be out of the NBA next year and real life issues will descend on him. (His crazy Vegas mortgage loan). As a team we hope to move forward. As far as Eddy , I just hope he get his life in order and everything else will fall in place.

Hey, I expect it. The man moderates comments that he personally doesn’t agree with. There’s integrity lost once you that in my eyes.
Let people speak, thought that’s why we do this.

This is why I wish the NBA had non guaranteed contracts with signing bonuses like the NFL.
