Eddy Curry traded to the Knicks!

[acbaylove]

Yao Ming will get about $15 million per year for the next 5 years.
Amare Stoudamire will get about $14 million per year for the next 5 years.
Eddie Curry will get about $10 million per year for the next 6 years.

IMO it's too much. He cant defend, he cant rebounds, he can only score, but he could stop playing bball in a year or two, who knows?
They overpaid him. And it doesnt mean he aint a good player. I'm talking about money here.

Whether they overpaid him or not, they put together a nice roster...

That's not his fault he's overpaid


Imo...Yao Ming is overpaid...about 80% of the NBA players ARE overpaid....90% of baseball players ARE overpaid....point is...who gives a fuck? it's normal, you're just trying to knock him down..he's a great player...this year he'll prove it agian.

I would love it if the Lakers had acquired Curry instead of Blount....

No! Man his agent is the fucking man! His client signed a $60 m after he refused the DNA test and having health problems, with just 2 teams interested in him. A real masterpiece. It aint his fault, hell no. I'm just saying i'm glad Mitch didnt waste a 6 yrs contract/$60 m for him. I'd rather go for the 2007 plan: Curry aint a superstar type of player to say: "fuck 2007, let's sign him to be a contender NOW!". Mitch offered him $21 m for 3 years. $7 m per year. A great contract, imo. He refused it cause he had a better one. $7 m was already overpaying him. So i'm happy about it. Curry > Mihm > Blount, no doubt. But 2007 > Curry.

Imo...Yao Ming is overpaid...

Hell yeah if he is. Ming is soft.

Good player. A perfect fit for the Knicks, not for the Lakers (under a financial point of view).

lol c'mon now. Blount will probably be cutted after the Training Camp!

[Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It]

the reason people are tripping of this is b/c Eddie Curry has a haert problem,the knicks didn't make him take a DNA test,he got a big 6 years 60 mill $ contract "AND IT'S GUARANTEED"!!

Isiah didn't even insured that shit,so if curry ends up having a haert problem again or dies ,,the knicks are fucked they are going to have to pay that whole contract to him or his family..

Isiah is really gambling here..

[TobyTizzle]

Wrong. Get your facts straight. There is a claus in the contract about his health, and the contract is only guarenteed through 4 years.

Antonio, you cant really talk shit about a guy like Curry when you aquired Kwame. Both came from the same litter. Just Curry has shown a bit more so far...

dont get your hopes too set on "2007", quite a few teams will have cash for then...

Brown has a lot more potential than Curry, imo. Even tho i'm not a big fan of Brown. I dont even like him at all. But Brown is getting about $5 m per year for 2 years, so he's getting a good contract for the salary cap and the 2007 plan. We will see.

But none is called LAKERS.

[TobyTizzle]

But if Kwame has more upside, wouldnt you want him longer than 2 years? You cant have your cake and eat it...

[acbaylove]

I think the Lakers have a team option for a 3rd year?

Well thing is that most 2007-superstars are rather happy with their teams and the 2 that laker fans dreamt most about, Ming and Amare, signed extentions.

I've never dreamed about Ming. Like i said, he's too soft, and i dont want him in L.A.
Amare is totally different thing: he's the real deal. Too bad he signed the extension.
Other than that man what can i say? Lakers are preparing some space like they did when they acquired Shaq.
They only difference is that there's no Shaq available in 2007.
Bosh is a more realistic player. But not a superstar like Amare.
In 2008 there are a lot of good players available tho (LeBron, Wade, Anthony, etc..)
But damn, i'm not here saying the Lakers will be contenders.
They'll probably be an average team for a while, 2-3 years at least.

Really man, I think Nate Robinson is gonna surprise people

Ummm, no he wont. He signed a $1.1 mil contract for a year...Blount will provide 10-15 mins of a big experience body on the court when Kwame and Chris need a rest.
