I don't see Curry replacing Big Z at all. But at least they don't lose everything if this goes down.
Bleh...my first option would still be to resign Z to a reasonable contract. If we cant get a deal in place with him, Curry, along with guys like Chandler and Dalembert, would be decent fallback options.
Dalembert, would still be the one I would want. He has the most potential to be an offensive and defensive player.
I'd rather us bring Z back, because Curry seems to be more injury prone and has had work ethnic problems. I'd actually rather have his teamates Tyson Chandler or Sixers free agent center Samuel Dalembert. I'd rather take Z who plays much better defense and we know Z is going to play up to his full potential unlike Curry who has been called lazy in the paint.
I think Curry could be a better option for the Cavs future. But before they attempt to get E.Curry they should make sure he is healthy first.

Even if you want to sign a guy for the future, Dalembert is in his earl 20's and is slowly becoming a force in the east. He shuld be their first option because he could dominate Z with his size and strength.
Dalembert or Curry would be very hard to pry from their respective teams. Both are better for the Cavs than Big Z though. I guess an S&T is possible but the Cavs would have to give up more than Big Z to get either because Z is declining.

Yea I can't see us letting go of Sammy the next best young player on the roster other than Iggy. How would we build our young core by letting Sammy walk for nothing. We have no other C worth anything.

They're something like the 5th highest spending team in the league. And they dont have alot of contracts that are easily dumped or that are worth dumping just to keep Dalembert. I'm gunna predict that Dalembert gets a massive contract and also that Chicago looses T. Chandler but retains Curry.
I don't see the Bulls letting Curry go. Pax has already stated that he's going to match any offer given to both Curry and Chandler and potentially any offer given to Duhon if the price isn't too high. Personally, I don't want to see him go either. He's a big piece of the puzzle in Chicago and he compliments Tyson Chandler very well (or Tyson compliments him, either or). If he leaves, the Bulls might be in some trouble next year when the season rolls around.
