Punch and Judy Garland Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Gordon for Starbury would set this franchise back a ways. I agree that there is nothing wrong with being aggressive as this team cannot win a Finals game as presently comprised (they could get far I guess based on matchups in a weak East). I really like Sweetney but clearly this closes theh chapter on the Brand deal which turned out to be a very poor one (even factoring in money saved). Trading Gordon isn't a terrible idea depending on what you get in return with the Bulls tweener guards. However, trading Gordon to the Knicks would be a disaster given that they have nothing you'd want back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think shuf doesn't post here anymore now that he works with the white sox? If someone catches on that it is them posting and leaking anything they will be fired. He's a douche for being a tease. If you're already leaking a little bit of it, that's probably enough to get you fired anyways. Might as well spill.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I was a HUGE Knick fan during their most recent heydey against Jordan's Bulls. I left them though after Ewing retired. Anyways, strapped in cap hell the Knicks might as well roll the dice that Eddy Curry can become a superstar. I do the trade if I were them, of course they put themselves into their current situation due to stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Ok so all of those posts bagging Curry weren't for naught I see. I see Larry Brown chewing him out for lack of defense or a missed rebound at least 50 times this season, probably more. As for the trade, I'd expect it to be Tim Thomas and David Lee or Trevor Ariza.

This is true, but we will have alot of money to burn next off-season. Peja would easily be our best scorer the second he signed. He has also shown alot of interest in coming to the bulls as skiles was once his coach in europe i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Via Espn DEERFIELD, Ill. -- The Bulls dealt center Eddy Curry to the New York Knicks on Monday, ending a contentious negotiation in which Chicago insisted the restricted free agent take a DNA test over a heart problem. In making the announcement, an obviously frustrated Bulls general manager John Paxson did not specify what Chicago got in return and he did not field questions. "We will have an announcement tomorrow morning," Bulls public relations director Sebrina Brewster said Monday night. "All we can say right now is we traded Eddy to the Knicks." Knicks spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz said the team declined comment on Paxson's announcement. The Bulls had insisted that Curry take a DNA test to determine whether he's susceptible to a potentially fatal heart problem. Curry, who missed the final 13 games of the regular season and the playoffs after experiencing an irregular heartbeat, balked, saying it violated his privacy. "I would never put a player on the floor in a Chicago Bulls uniform if I didn't do everything in my power to find out all the information that was available," Paxson said. "You can debate genetic testing 'til you're blue in the face. But from what I know, from what I've learned over the last six months, that test could have helped us determine the best course of action." Curry, drafted right out of high school, averaged a career-high 16.1 points in his fourth NBA season. The standoff stemmed from a benign arrhythmia that caused Curry to miss the final 13 games of the regular season and the playoffs. Several prominent cardiologists cleared Curry to play, but Barry Maron, a world-renowned specialist in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, suggested the DNA test. Paxson has said he understands the privacy issues involved but insisted the Bulls do not have an ulterior motive; they simply do not want a situation similar to those of former Boston Celtics guard Reggie Lewis or Loyola Marymount star Hank Gathers -- players with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who collapsed and died. Paxson, speaking during the team's media day, told reporters the Bulls had offered Curry $400,000 annually for the next 50 years if he failed the genetic test. (wow - emphasis mine) "So he would have an above-average lifestyle that would put him in a position that most other people aren't in," Paxson said. "Our intention through that whole process was to show him that we did care about him and that we were concerned about his well-being." Curry's agent Leon Rose did not return calls seeking comment Monday. Paxson said he resented insinuations that the Bulls were on a sort of witch hunt, trying to find information on Curry. The general manager started by asking reporters to "let me ramble a minute." After a long pause, he said, "This has been about as uncomfortable and unusual a situation I could ever imagine. We've attempted from Day 1 to do the right thing, and I'm absolutely confident that we have in every way we went about it. And in a lot of ways we've met resistance in trying to gather all the information we feel we need." About three minutes later, Paxson said, "From a basketball standpoint, I understand what I'm doing. But I have an obligation to this organization and the people I work for to do the right thing. And I did the right thing. That's all I've got to say." Then, he walked away from the table. That Curry and the Bulls parted was not shocking, given the tone of the negotiations. Curry played a major role as the Bulls won 47 games and reached the playoffs for the first time since 1998 -- when Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen led them to their sixth NBA title. "It's tough," said power forward Tyson Chandler, who re-signed with the Bulls for six years during the offseason. "I'm sad to see him go."
