He can't be worse than Mike Bibby, who is miracously still in the league somehow after being one of the worst players EVER in the playoffs.

Most Heat fans expect nothing out of Curry already anyways.

Honestly, the only reason I want him to be even semi-productive is so I can lol @ Knicks fans praying for him to fail.

For what we're banking on him it has to be a two year deal with a team option for year 2?


Curry signed a one-year, non-guaranteed contract.

Derrick Byars appears to have guaranteed money listed at $457,588.

Edited. Calling us fans 'clueless' is trolling.

Keep it civil, or else this happens. You spend ten minutes writing out a post, only to have it edited.

Isiah Thomas is a great GM.

Channing Frye is the next Tim Duncan

Anthony Randolph is an untouchable player whos a budding superstar

Melo is better or as good as Lebron

We are gonna make the playoffs and be contenders (heard that one every year the past decade)

Rolando Blackman is a DPOY candidate

and many many more


Knicks fans are probably the least knowledgable basketball fans in the NBA. They are extremely parochial and provincial. They constantly overrate their players and team. The funny thing is that they actually think that they are knowledgable. This is a fan base that was still touting Isiah Thomas as a great gm years after the rest of the league knew what a failure he was. This is a fan base that was touting Marbury as the best PG in the NBA while the rest of us knew what he really was.

You should of heard what they said about Curry after they traded for him and while he was playing for them. Hes one of the best bigs in the game. Hes an allstar. Blah Blah Blah

Most clueless fan base in NBA and maybe sports.

Yeah I used to lurk back around then, and I saw plenty of Curry > Howard posts on the Knicks board. They were even pissed he got "snubbed" for the ASG over Dwight in 2007.

It's pretty simple really, you play for the Knicks, you have the potential to be a superstar. You don't, you're a bum, a scrub, a loser.

LOL yeah me too....its always good for quick laugh to check out their board. I still laugh about last years posts about anthony randolph. 95% of them didnt even know who he was until they got him in a trade. Than suddenly he is this unbelievable prospect who they didnt want to trade for anyone including Melo. Now hes trash again.

Yep.........before they traded for him Curry was a bum who had a bad heart. They trade for him and hes better than howard lol

LOL this, it's funny reading their topics and how they're in denial that he actually lost some weight.

Ok that Knick fan is getting a bit annoying now... there is a reason why each team has it's own board...

I think it's funny he posts all these stats about Bibby, like we haven't seen him play. He was on the freakin' Heat last season.

He will be good in the regular season, but just watch in the post-season. He let down a lot of Heat fans.

Why don't you post what he did in the playoffs for the Heat... and his PER... lmao.

eh....honestly, id be seriously surprised if they got the 4th seed. Have you seen their team outside of Amare and Melo? They are a hell of a lot closer to the sixers and pacers than the heat, celts or bulls. Atlanta is better than them

Their bench is worse than the Heat's last season, unless they sign someone.

I thought they were going to get people like Barea, and resign Shawne Williams. Or even get Crawford. But NONE of that happened. If they got all those guys they would have been in competition with the Heat, but right now, even the old Celtics are better than them. We'll see Christmas day lol.

Oh man the Pacers are crazy deep lol. They could actually get the 4th seed.

they have some rookies just like us, but no idea how good they are. Knicks have been bragging more about Iman than Heat have about Cole... we'll see lol.

Par for the course. Same as every year. Knicks could draft a dump truck and their fans will chirp as to how he was the steal of the draft and an emerging allstar

OK, I do have to give them some credit though. The Knicks board has the best OT threads out of any board on RealGM, even the OT board itself or the Raptors board.

Haha I saw that thread.... surprised it has not been closed or anything yet LOL.


@Swampdonkey true, I remember they were booing Iman draft night... then all of a sudden he's candidate for rookie of the year? lol.

Return to Miami Heat
