Its a done deal!
The Knicks will send forwards Tim Thomas and Mike Sweetney, and next year's first-round pick, to the Bulls, according to an Eastern Conference team executive who had knowledge of the deal. In exchange, the Knicks will receive Curry, veteran forward Antonio Davis and possibly draft picks. For salary-cap purposes, the Knicks will also sign and immediately trade guard Jermaine Jackson to Chicago.
The team executive spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet final.
Precise details of the trade were still being worked, and as of 9:30 p.m. Eastern, the teams had not conducted the required conference call with league officials to have the deal approved. It was expected that it could be completed by Tuesday morning.
"It's a done deal," said Tim Thomas, who had the trade confirmed to him by his agent, Arn Tellem, earlier Monday afternoon.
The deal was contingent on all players passing their physical exams. Curry and Davis were expected to travel to New York on Tuesday for their exams. Thomas said he and Sweetney would be boarding a flight to Chicago on Tuesday, not long after their teammates complete their first training camp practice at the College of Charleston.
Curry was a restricted free agent this off-season, and was a top target of the Knicks, although they did not have the cap room to sign him outright. Had the Bulls not traded him, Curry would been forced to accept the Bulls' qualifying offer of $5.14 million. But he probably would have spent the season on the bench.
Instead, Curry will sign a five-year deal, believed to be worth about $10 million in the first season, and join the Knicks. Curry will be reunited with guard Jamal Crawford, his close friend from their days together in Chicago.
"He's excited, man," Crawford said just after 10 p.m. Monday night, minutes after talking to Curry on the phone. "I'm excited. I can't wait to get started tomorrow."
