I know this is somewhat late (3 weeks late) but thought i'd post it anyways since things are a bit slow around here.....If you all remember, this same KnicksChick commented previously about how horrible Jared Jeffries was/is. This girl reminds me a bit of Julian Barbieri (Fox)
And for those that missed the JJ bashing from this girl earlier here it is...
James, along with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki, Yao Ming and Amar’e Stoudemire – just to name a few – head the famous N.B.A. free-agent class of 2010. They all have something else in common: they are signed through the 2010-11 season but possess options or ETOs allowing them to become free agents this summer rather than next.

Curry is averaging just 3.7 points and 1.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes this season, and it's pretty much an unknown what he can offer now. When D'Antoni was asked yesterday what his expectation was on what Curry could give the Knicks and also how much he would look to play him, the coach replied, "No idea and no idea."
