Brown got enough of AI already. Hes going to GS or Charlotte. Curry will dominate and what money are you talking about. He got to the knicks out of shape and he got into shape because he wanted to win. The bulls suffered because of no height and no low post presence. Chandler cant score for his life. And btw chang Larry Brown is guard oriented also. Sweetney is too small and overweight and he does have a huge advantage over curry because he did go to college.[/quote]Larry Brown works the post a lot more. Sure, he's had great guards. On the other hand, Isiah Thomas is the worst GM and will be the worst coach in NBA history. The Knicks have a stupid owner to even have that idiot still working for them. Noone trades 2 potential top 3 picks and a Sweetney for a shitty center that doesn't rebound and could die on the court any minute. The only thing I can imagine Isiah doing is trying to get Stephon Marbury to have 30 ppg and Francis have 25 ppg to prove that guards can win (they will get killed in this case).You do know Eddy Curry had better numbers before he went to the Knicks.He's not a 100% bust but all he'll ever be is a role player at best.[/quote]Eddy Curry sucks. I've seen this guy play for 4 years on the Bulls. He's just lazy. He doesn't care at all. He only played hard in 2004-05 b/c it was his contract year, and he wanted the big $$, which he got.[/quote]Your just mad he left the bulls. You would like chandler who cant score for his life over Curry who can score and still has huge potential? I dont think so. Lazy, yea right. Like i said he lost all the weight during the season so he can become better. The only lazy one is sweetney who has stayed a fatass since he got to the league.[/quote]I'm glad Curry is gone. We've got the # 2 pick b/c of it, and we might get Greg Oden as well.

    Chicago got the better end of the Curry deal, but only because of the picks. If it were a Sweetney/Curry swap I don't think you'd be bragging, because Sweetney is NOT better than Curry. He was my favorite Knick while he was here, but like Skillz said he needs to lose some weight because he can't run the floor. Francis needs to go, but to bring in someone like Martin is pointless. He hasn't been productive since leaving Jersey and Jason Kidd and is as injury prone as anyone on the team. Too bad we can't just dump him and all the other pieces of shit players on this team.You can't sit here and analyze this team in 10 paragraphs, because the bottom line is we're a mess. The entire franchise is in shambles and will be for six or seven years. The entire front office and roster (excluding some of the younger guys) needs to be wiped clean and built from scratch, but we have to wait years before we can even do that.

    Curry averages 4.6 TO in 26 minutes. That's really bad, in fact, he's the only PF/C in the top 15.Either way, both players are busts for top 10 picks.Get it through your heads. lol. Sweetney isn't as big as a bust cause he was selected later. Curry meanwhile was taken 4th.

    Like you said, if he doesn't lose the weight you've got problems. He hasn't lost the weight and he's been around for a while now. He's not just going to randomly decide he wants to slim down, thats something that should have been done right away..Or at least when he got traded to Chicago.

    Both players still has potential but I see curry having a better career. Turnovers and rebounding he can improve on. His offense is good and he's a presence in the paint.

    Sweetney went to college, so he has that egde over Curry. Also, one big edge Sweetney has over Curry is that he actually wants to play and isn't lazy like Curry is. Curry to me does not seem interested. And he could die at any moment. He was so stubborn after his heart issues, he had to go. Paxson was more than fair w/ Eddy. He said if he took the test and couldn't play, he'd give Eddy $400,000/year for 50 years.

Shut up with your stupid laziness remarks because curry didnt show that at all. Hes not gonna die at any moment stupid. He has a heart problem but its under control. Its a stupid thing to say. Paxson continued to talk about currys condition after he was traded which is illegal.

For now, I'm giving Sweetney the benifit of the doubt, like I did to Curry after his first 2 years. If he doesn't lose the weight then I'll call for him to be driven out of town like Curry was.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Reports: Brown files grievance against KnicksAssociated PressNEW YORK -- Former New York Knicks coach Larry Brown filed a grievance with the NBA against the team, saying New York owes him the remainder of his salary after firing him, according to published reports Thursday.Brown, who says the Knicks should pay him $40 million, filed the grievance Wednesday, the New York Daily News and New York Post reported. The Knicks, who fired the coach after one season, claim they're not obligated to pay the full amount because Brown violated terms of his contract.The Knicks contend Brown broke Madison Square Garden policy with his roadside interviews, a decision the team believes could save them millions.Brown's contract had a clause that designates NBA commissioner David Stern as the arbitrator in any financial dispute he has with the Knicks."I've been requested by both sides to help arbitrate," Stern told the New York Post. "I don't think there's any timetable to what we're doing."In Brown's lone season in New York, the Knicks stumbled to a 23-59 record -- second worst in the NBA and matching the most losses in club history. But Brown's public feud with Stephon Marbury and criticism of other players may have angered owner James Dolan more than the losing.</div>The Saga Continues...http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2503905
