Would Trading for E. Curry be good for this team?

[UptownPhilly]

Thats the thing, COT he's never been a rebounder or a good defender. He's been good for 20/10. At least Randolph TRIES on the defensive end. At least, if you have the right supporting cast around Randolph, you'll win basketball games. (Those Knicks don't suck when you have Randolph/Lee/Robinson together in there.)

That's good rebounding my friend. I believe he's somewhere in the neighborhood of less than 6 boards per game.


Randolph, on the other hand, is more of a 20/10 rebounder.

no need to trade, if you leave a trail of donuts, he'll show up at your doorstep.

If DC doesn't get to them first.

Curry will never be a Sixer. He isnt the type of player Ed would go after and Im happy he wouldnt because Curry is a poor mans DC with the same drive.

Now here, you gotta weigh the pros and the cons:

Pros:
- low post scorer
- when he has the will, dominant
- contract isn't too ridiculous (I think, I'm goin' off what sum1 said earlier on the thread)
- has played with NY for the past 3 years, so he gets some of the benefit of the doubt

Cons:
- terrible work ethic
- no rebounds



I dunno about you guys, but if he costs sumthing like the Utah pick + filler, I'd be willing to give him a shot.

If he doesn't pan out, I'm pretty sure he knows where the bench is....... or the concession stand.

The Sixers are investing in rock solid low-maintenance players who work hard. Curry does not fit that description.

Exactly, why the hell do we want Eddy Curry's fat ass or his contract. Remember about the heart condition and the lack of heart on the court doesn't play with any passion or any defense. Our frountcourt isnt the most talented with Dalembert who is averaging a double-double and has really worked on his offense, and is working hard on the boards,blocking shots, and doing what Centers in the nba are supposed to do,unlike Curry who can't rebound or block shots. Now just imagine if Curry had the heart,energy,passion of less talented Reggie Evans then he'd be an all-star cleary, who I have become a big fan of his great rebounding and the toughness he plays with is amazing and plays with a passion starting or not. Curry is talented, but he would be cancer playing next to dalembert or replacing him. I jus say we wait for a good Power Forward in the next year or two in Free agency, don't rush there might be some great ones coming out.
