The Eddy Curry trade
Well, the Knicks finally got the guy all Knicks fan wanted about 4 1/2 year after we actually desired him. It may very well be a stealth move on Thomas's part or may be the newewst "Dumbest thing the Knicks have every done," surpassing their failure to use the Allan Houston Rule to eliminate Allan Houston's bloated contract. A few thoughts:
-I know he's not really called Baby Shaq anymore, but now that he's anchoring the Knicks, could we start calling him that again so that he gets motivated to make "Baby Kazam"? I'm sure the Big Guy will do a cameo.
-Odd that he and fellow "can't miss except he did miss" prospect Kwame Brown ended up in one of the media meccas in the same offseason. Maybe we'll still get to see the inevitable Lakers/Knicks finals we've dreamt about. Or at least we can watch how Kobe and Starburry turn them both into their respective bitches.
-One has to wonder if a Channing Frye suicide watch is needed, as in the course of three months he's gone from the center of the future to a back up for Jerome James to that guy they took instead of Gerald Green.
-Larry Brown hasn't exactly been known as the king of big men coaches, so don't expect Curry to become the center of attention any time soon.
-Finally, it's sad to see such an upstanding guy like Mike Sweetney go, but he wasn't going to get any better (let's hope). And anything that gets Tim Thomas away from the Knicks is a good move in my book.
