We get to exchange picks this year – enjoy your pick in the twenties. I am a bit worried as you might sneak in the playoffs this year. That would be a bummer for us.

BTW, Wallace had 15 pts, 20 boards, and 5 blocks last night. Tyrus isn’t playing much, but when he does, he makes himself known. Refreshingly, he actually works at his craft. Couple of years, 20 pounds, and tutelage from one of the best in the business, Ben Wallace, and you are looking at a straight up bitch.

Again, enjoy Jamal and Eddy – the best $120,000,000 we never spent!

I have watched him since his Thornwood High days, and certainly saw a majority of his games as a Bulls fan.

Eddy will never be a force. He has never had to work and he simply refuses to do so now. The Knicks run their offense through him? Good luck. His numbers, mostly when it doesn’t count, will rise a bit.

Those who know around the Bulls knew these things not just about Eddy, but Tyson and Jamal as well. Very talented, very lazy, and in Jamals case, very self-centered. I waited for years for Jamal to start winnig games for the Bulls and now I have the pleasure of watching it happen everytime the Bulls play the Knicks.

Thanks for Tyrus – and a lottery pick in the decades’ deepest draft!

That’s great. AI would bring a much needed element of intensity. No matter what people say about him everyone agrees he plays hard.

As for the rest
A) Marbury looks like he wants someone else to be the star right now. Look at him during Curry’s streak – does he appear to be sulking about Curry taking all the heat off him and becoming the face of the team? Quite the opposite – his game has improved as well as his demeanor and several posters here have mentioned how the Knicks suddenly look best with him on the court running the offense.

B) AI would become the instant first option instead of Curry, but he has literally never, not once in his entire 10 year career had an offensive minded big man to play the inside-out game with. I think Curry and AI could in theory make a killer duo ala Shaq and Kobe, with Curry drawing doubles and kicking it to AI, the two running pick and rolls, and AI drawing doubles and triples in the lane to throw it to Curry in the paint. The point is there’s no precedent for AI and a good scoring big man. Mutombo was a defender first and foremost and scored on garbage baskets, Dalembert is a big guy with minimal offense as well, and that’s pretty much the history of the Sixers centers aside from eh players like Todd Maculloch and Nazr Mohammed. How’d AI do with the bigs on the international squads?

So you’re saying you would definitely give up Francis, Q, Frye and Rose (granted only Q and Frye matter) for AI? Because in essence, that’s what you’re doing — since I think we can all agree that C-Webb is a below average PF at this point and we already have Jeffries and Lee.

My bigger questions would be:
a) Could Marbury deal (I think AI could) with AI?
b) Would AI being on the floor kill the surging Curry’s game?

Let me also say that I would be the first to admit, Curry is making me eat crow right now. I never said we should write him off at age 23, but I did say (quite frequently) that he wasn’t showing me any reason to hope he would get better. He has been very impressive over the last 10 — almost All-Star impressive over an albeit limited run. It would be nice to see him keep it up.

No to AI — especially since I deem it unlikely he goes without C-Webb…and C-Webb is a dog contract of epic proportions. That would in fact be the reason they are being bundled — to get AI, you have to take the dog C-Webb contract.
