I know NY was down on him but have to believe that he has as much if not more to offer offensively than ZaZa.

There are only 3 things that are certain in life: death, taxes, and Eddy Curry being worthless at basketball.

He certainly has an NBA body -- matter-of-fact, a GREAT body for a big man -- but his track record is pitiful: 9 seasons in the NBA and NO ONE would say he's ever cared very much.

Remember when we brought him down here for an interview and he spent the whole time talking on the phone -- while BK was trying to talk to him?
My mother told me, she said, "Elwood, to make it in this world you either have to be oh, so clever or oh, so pleasant." Well, for years I was clever; I recommend pleasant.

And Cliff lived through Eddy Curry's best days in Chicago (when he was striving for that big contract that Isiah gave him in New York). I would heed his words and look elsewhere for help. Although that won't happen until the season is almost over because of luxury tax issues (if at all). If we exceed the luxury tax it will cost the owners over 2M in lost revenue (estimated team share of the tax overage). No one at this point would have the impact that they'd deem worth 2+ Million.

Im sure you can just pop up Google Earth if you want to see him. No need to pay to bring him in.

Seriously though...in the most recent workout vids while he was still on the Knicks, Curry was wearing a pair of cutoff shorts (not even a uniform) that looked like they were made from large potato sacks.

A shame really...and i was one of his better supporters on the Knicks board through the years.
