Isiah Lists Eddie Curry As "Untouchable" In Any Trade Deals
Quote:
Thomas said during the pre-draft camp Eddy Curry would not be included in any proposal for Bryant, but everyone else was on the table, including Channing Frye. Frye told The Post yesterday he does not want to leave the Knicks, but understands the reality. Frye and Bryant have the same agent, Rob Pelinka, who could help orchestrate a trade.
"He's my agent, I talk to him," said Frye, appearing at the iStar Charity Foundation Shootout yesterday at the Garden. "I love New York. I'll give 110 percent, but every week someone has me in a trade rumor. . . . I'd like to stay here. But it's a business." Frye, David Lee and Jamal Crawford are the Knicks' three most marketable players outside of Curry. The three likely would have to be packaged with a first-rounder and $3 million cash.

Re: Isiah Lists Eddie Curry As "Untouchable" In Any Trade Deals
So let me get this straight, Curry is untouchable if a guy like Kobe and Garnett is available. Okay Mr. Thomas.

Well, it makes sense. For better or worse, Eddy Curry is the symbol of Isiah's tenure at the Knicks.

Bullcrap
Lee was wonderful and he has been included in every proposal as well. They are included because they are wanted. Heard anyone say they weren't interested in Frye?

Re: Isiah Lists Eddie Curry As "Untouchable" In Any Trade Deals
I would trade Curry for Kobe or Garnett without any hesitation. I can't see calling anyone on the Knicks "untouchable" when the return is either Kobe or KG.

Re: Isiah Lists Eddie Curry As "Untouchable" In Any Trade Deals
I agree. Keep Eddy Curry. He cost the knicks tyrus thomas and another amazing player this year. He HAS to show EVERYONE how good of a GM isiah is before he can go.

Or if he gets traded in a deal for Kobe...pretty sure that would make up for it.

Re: Isiah Lists Eddie Curry As "Untouchable" In Any Trade Deals
If IT were to put Curry as an untouchable and it happens to be a mega superstar in return. IT basically stamp his way to being one of the worst GMs in all 4 major sports for NY. Hes already on his way but this just tops it off.

It would have to be Curry, Lee, Frye, 1st rounder next year, etc. at least for Kobe. Not just Curry. Curry is worth about 30% of Kobe Bryant at this point.

Re: Isiah Lists Eddie Curry As "Untouchable" In Any Trade Deals
the thing is this .
kobe has been in the league 11 years now , its hard to imagine him as a guard(on both sides of the ball) playing at this level for more than 3 years in fact there were signs this past season he is slipping defensively...as a scorer Kobe is awesome , but I am not sure that I would trade a 24 year old center whose best years are still in front of him and will likely be a 20 point a game scorer with a very high FG% for the next 10 years for a guard who will be awesome for a few more years but then probably not so much.
outside of curry no one else projects to be a top 5 player at their position from here on so they are on the table...and they should be , curry is the only exception and thats how its supposed to be , no one wants to do a richmond-webber .

Kobe wouldn't have to do so much
if the Knicks traded Curry. There would be plenty of other guys to pick up the slack. He would be more able to pick his spots and it would extend his career. Curry will be 25 in the beginning of the season, which will be his seventh. His wheels will also wear out sooner than most because of the miles. No way he stays on top of his game until he is 35. That is wishful thinking. He may outlast Kobe, but who cares? We would still have younger guys in their primes plus a huge contract coming off the books in Kobe. Not to mention a couple of titles. What projections are you talking about?
You don't need to have your center be top 5. You have the #1 guy with Kobe, a solid #2 in Marbury, Qrich and Frye are both capable offensive options, and Lee is the perfect role player. Could be a stronger shot blocking team, but no real weakness. A contender for the next 5 years.
