I won't reply? You were probably hoping I wouldn't...lol poor you.
This is my face when I read the part you think I supported the McDysess trade. The rest was laughs.
Okur offensive game is multi dementional. I've seen the guy shoot from anywhere in the court, slash to the basket, and post up. He has averaged over 9 rebounds before. So what are these rebounding weaknesses you speak of? Okur's career low of rebounds is superior to Eddy Curry's career high. Bottom line, Curry is one of the worst rebounding centers, similar to Mark Blount.
He's an all star.
Sadly, he's a better defender than Curry.
Superior rebounder.
Better FT shooter
Has won a NBA ring with his consistant offense off the Pistons bench.
Has range, and is unpredictable.
Doesn't turn the ball over constantly like Curry.
18 ppg on 1.5 turnovers > 19 ppg on 3.5 turnovers.
Okur scores as much on less touches.
When Curry is being force feeded, he isn't very affective, and that hurts US...the Knicks, you know the team that we follow here? We're not following Curry or Isiah, so hop off. If they got dumped tommorow, most people would rejoice.
How are we going to get a Franchise player from the Bobcats like Okafor? He's the anti Curry. Are you insane? Okafor is a complimentary player compared to CURRY? If anything, Curry is a one dementional post scoring player who's terrible at anything. Curry isn't a FRANCHISE player or a guy who leads a team. Chicago is DOING great without Curry. Defensively, Knicks struggle with Curry. Lee, and Balkman have to cover 2 guys every time Curry is on the court, it seems like 5 on 4 when Curry is playing.
Sharif Abdul Rahim was a good talent, regardless of being on a poor team(still a superior rebounder, defender and all around player compare to Curry).
But to compare Sharif and Al Jefferson is FOOLISH. Al J is a post up player who's style is more physical. Sharif is more of a perimeter jumpshooter. He has a post game, but they're two totally different big men.
Curry is on a losing team too...so your theory just blew up all over your face..
Curry is a NBA veteran, who's getting minutes ALOT of minutes. He hasn't learned in 6 years, he's not going to learn it ever.
Plus, we have a COACH who doesn't emphasize DEFENSE. Avery Johnson and Jeff Van Gundy are very defensive mind coaches. Curry wouldn't get 30 minutes on Dallas or the Rockets. You ask why? He doesn't play position defense or help defense. For you to deny this fact shows a bias, you might as well agree and stop saying "He will learn how to do those things."
Knicks winning percentage has been up? We're 3-7 in the last ten games, where have you been lately? Once again to prove my agruement you don't watch the Knicks enough.
But if you want to talk about winning, Marbury has been the biggest contributor and REASON why we're even in close in games. If Marbury wasn't such a good defender this season, we would be so bad defensively. Marbury has to play LOCK DOWN DEFENSE every game so that guard won't go to the paint and abuse Curry's softness. Offensively, don't even need to mention what Marbury has done as a leader, penatration, clutch threes and 3pt plays. For you not to mention Marbury as part of the Knicks sucess shows your agruement is too BIAS and not reasonable enough.
I'll give you something though. When Curry tries to play defense(even though it looks pathetic, lol...it takes like 10 seconds for Curry to block a shot, he has the least explosive jump on defense I ever seen), like I said when he tries to play defense, it makes EVERYTHING easier for the Knicks. You saw this against Dallas. The only thing Curry failed to do yesterday was box out, he was very unclutch at grabbing the key rebounds. You saw Dirk's ability to be in the right position. Did you see Dirk grab that offensive rebound and comit a 3pt play? Before that, he made a GREAT pass to his wing player. This is why Dirk is a franchise player and a MVP player. He's multi dementional. Curry is as one dementional as it gets.
Curry is easy to defend now, teams double team and Curry becomes clueless. His passing is as bad as it gets. He has no jumpshot, so he gets trapted, kills the offense and turns it over. If he DOESN'T, he scores, but quickly gives up points on defense. Don't be fooled by the stats, start watching some Knicks game.
Q-Rich was great this season, his story is similar to Marbury. Great defense, his offense fitted in perfectly. If it wasn't for the injury, the Knicks would be in the playoffs. Q-Rich was the Knicks 2nd best player behind Marbury. This is because his all around game. He's a better rebounder, shooter, and defender than Curry. Also, Q-Rich can post up effectively.
Andrew Bogut isn't being traded. Curry is the worst first option in the NBA. He averages a shitload of turnovers, and has alot of touches and only averages 19 points per game.
If I piss you off kid, then log off the forum and stop crying. This isn't a daycare center. Stop catching feelings on the internet and grow the hell up. I honestly don't care about your feelings. It has nothing to do with basketball or the Knicks.
I have plenty of patience. Its fans like you who keep Isiah his job cause you're a new generation Knick fan. You're not use to the sucess in the 90s and 80s. Your perception of sucess is a 34 win season. You perception of great players are one dementionals who don't play defense and are turnover prone(Curry, Francis, Crawford etc). So don't talk to me about your emotions. You've proven over and over you don't even watch this team when you think Curry has been a bigger factor in our wins over Marbury.
What the hell are you talking about you chimp? Show me WHERE in this forum I supported the Camby/Nene trade. Camby/Nene are some of my favorite big men in the NBA. LOL @ you now assuming such invalid things. I guess you have nothing else to talk about. You don't watch the Knicks, so you can't elobrate on that. Stick back to trying to convince me that Curry is a franchise winner player with potential on defense.
Like I said, you're a monkey for Isiah. You help Isiah keep his job. Isiahsexuals say the same thing every year and its so true.
"Lets give them a chance next year." You'll been saying this crap till 2010 until we're .500. When we're .500, you'll be like "Lets give them 5 more years to win a title."
I don't expect us to win a title, but your expectations and hope for Isiah is kinda gay. Hence the name Isiahsexual.
