Isiah claims that a recycling of the rotation is a shakeup. No Isiah. Playing Balkman, Collins, Chandler, and Morris is a shakeup.
But even more clueless is Eddy Curry, who has vacillated among every possible response to his situation except for the one that everyone with a brain recommends: get in f*c#ing shape.
Yes, the Knicks are better without Eddy Curry on the floor right now, and he should be completely benched (not DNP, Curry should not even be on the active roster) until he gets in shape. However, the Knicks are going nowhere (past the first round of the playoffs) without an Eddy Curry in shape.
Therefore, the answer is not to fire Isiah, nor to trade Curry; but to bench Curry until he loses 40 pounds of fat in the midsection and gains 40 pounds of muscle in the legs, shoulders, and chest; as well as being in aerobic shape (2 hours of wind sprints every day in practice - no basketball lessons - even though he needs them - defensive footwork, boxing out on rebounds, shot blocking drills - until he is in proper NBA shape).
According the US military this should take about six weeks. In the interim, I strongly believe that the Knicks can play 500 basketball without Curry.
