The Knicks have already paid half of Eddy Curry's 2010-2011 salary, a fact that could provide a team acquiring him significant savings and greatly boost his contract's trade value. The Knicks are certain to offer Curry in a bid to land Carmelo Anthony at any time between now and the NBA's trade deadline. If traded today, Curry would be owed a little over $7 million by the team acquiring him, after adding in a trade kicker. If Curry was traded just before the February deadline, the unpaid compensation on his contract would decline to less than $3 million and his trade kicker would decline to about $600,000. If the Knicks sent the maximum $3 million of cash to Denver in such a deal, the real cost of Curry's contract would be a little over $4 million if the trade happened now, or less than a half a million dollars if the trade happened just before the deadline. http://www.northjersey.com/sports/p...nicks-Carmelo_has_chance_to_be_revisited.html
