If Curry delivers the Knicks are going to have a good young team this year. I remember someone calling them the Phoenix Suns of the east. Allan Houston is also another good trading block next year I believe. He has a very large expring contract which would be great for a sign and trade.

There sure are a lot of Knicks apologists on this board. They trade away a promising young talent and future cap savings for a guy with a bad heart (literally and figuratively) and an uninsurable contract, and this is spun as a positive?
If he is healthy and ably to play out the next 5 years, it will be a good move. But does ANYONE see this happening? Isn't it alarming that there was only one GM in the entire league willing to give this guy a contract?

Hakeem had the same heart problem and played for like 17 years or so.
Like I said, if he's healthy, how is this a bad move? They traded away an undersized PF (oh wait, since we traded him away, he suddenly becomes a promising young talent, my bad), and a guy who is mediocre for a guy who's a better player than both, with more upside, and an expiring contract (same as TT, if they decide not to cut him).
And i've asked for this move. I think Curry will be the real deal.
