Around SBN: Which Players Will Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

Friday Island Foxes




Merry Friday, everybody. We're now fully into free agency and a few days from summer league, so here are a few links from around the interwebs.

- Like I mentioned, Vegas Summer league kicks off today. The Knicks' first game isn't until the 14th, though. The bad news for all of you out and about in the world is that the NBA is charging for streaming coverage of the games. The good news for those of us in the area is that the games will be televised locally on MSG. The good news for EVERYBODY is that there will be game threads and recaps for each of the summer league games right here on P&T. PIT BULL! WOOF!

- Former Missouri St. guard Blake Ahearn is on the Knicks' Summer League roster, and he's one of Kelly Dwyer's guys to watch in Vegas. See, if anybody really cared about salary, these are the kind of guys we'd be hearing about. Ahearn's a certified baller who's never really stuck with an NBA roster. He's also 25 and wouldn't command tens of millions of dollars. Where do I sign?

- Meanwhile, the Grant Hill situation is still up in the air, and could be resolved today. Some think Hill's leaning toward the Knicks because his wife likes to sing, and New York has the best microphones or something like that. Whatever. In the meantime, it seems we've got another older dude in our sights, and this one looks like Richard Pryor.

- Now this is reporting. Check this article by Alan Hahn:
Eddy Curry has been ordered by the Knicks to report to the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas so that team president Donnie Walsh and his staff can monitor the progress of Curry's offseason diet and conditioning program, according to Jerry Powell, one of Curry's offseason trainers.

Curry will not play for the Knicks summer league team but is expected to be on the court for the second workout of a two-a-day session Sunday at Valley High in Las Vegas, where the Knicks will work out before their summer league opener Tuesday at UNLV.

Powell says Curry, who began a strict diet and fitness regimen set up by California-based strength coach Tommy Weatherspoon in May and began workouts with Powell in June, has lost almost 50 pounds.

"They want to see what he looks like," Powell told Newsday. "They want to see him get up and down with the summer league team and practice."

50 pounds? FIFTY pounds? This is 50 pounds. This is 50 pounds. This is 50 pounds. If Eddy Curry lost 50 pounds, then may the force be with him. That is amazing. Congratulations, Eddy, and keep up the great work. (Update: Tommy Dee says Curry was well over 3 bills at media day last year, so we mustn't get our panties in a bunch. Oh well.)

- Interesting post by Steve at Clips Nation about blogging. I guess it's most interesting to me, but Steve's funny anyway, so whatever.

- Here's some more confirmation that the Knicks are, indeed, returning to Skidmore. Also, if they are actually playing preseason games in Albany, you can bet your ass that I'll do my darndest to be there.

- Ridiculous Upside's breakdown of the Knicks' summer league squad confirms that, unfortunately, it's a different Ron Howard. Also, "Rashaad Singleton" really doesn't sound like a big man.

- Knickerblogger's offseason report card of Quentin Richardson. I'm thinking that Mike's happy to see Q go.

- Island foxes are little doggy animals that are native to California's Channel Islands, which I didn't even know existed. The islands, that is. They're also endangered, so make sure you recycle them.

- Are the posts below this one on the front page showing up with the wrong numbers of comments displayed for you guys? They are for me. I'm trying to fix it, but if it's only my computer being a penis, then I won't sweat it too much.

That is all, you filthy pig dogs. Go take a bath. You smell.

LOL 50 pounds is not all that much for a guy his size

its a lot of weight, but for someone like Curry, who is more like 360 lbs than his listed 295lbs, its not all that much.

Him losing 50 pounds is like a normal 170lbs person losing around 15 pounds.

Its a lot of weight of course, but in perspective Eddy is still a fat FK

I guess not,....

maybe I’ll be nice and speculate on how a motivated Eddy Curry could acutally be a good thing, not even to trade. But to KEEP! Centers that can score don’t grow on trees. If Eddy is motivated to reboud and just be large on defense he’d be an excellent……….

…that’s horseshit..

Might as well spec on how Darko’s mob ties mesh with Gallinari’s mob ties….

yo man

if eddy could get out there and catch wreck without the weight of a small child or a huge huge huge hamburger off of his belly, i’d love it!

i really liked eddy when he was playing well. the inevitable alley-oop from crawford everytime they were on the floor was truly exciting. and dude can beast on the blocks. have at em ed!

lets just hope its the truth

you know what

i just got a flash in my mind of grant hill being a commentator on msg…. that makes sense right? he might be in the very very long term plans. he looks like he could be an assistant coach too. that guy ain’t goin nowhere once he gets here.

question

i dno who i’d feel better about having on the team. Dre 3000 is a seriously good PG, and would probably average in the neighborhood of 17 and 13 for us. But he cant shoot 3s for shiiiit! lol. And Grant hill would be good to. Eh, I’ll take either, but i can’t take a side. If Dre decides to play and somehow not shoot 3s alot, that owuld be ideal.

Eddy Curry

will be the 2009-2010 NBA Comeback Player of the Year…. if the nba still had the award

yeah

he won it 3 times and they got rid of it. Then they brought it back and he won it 3 more times. Then they got rid of it again.

anybody have any thoughts on Andre Miller to Knicks?

i prefer him to both hill and kidd

although point guards who can’t shoot give me ulcers.

probably to ’spensive though.

this is the thing

he shoots a good FG% if i remember. But was that b ecause of the sixers system? Because if he maintains a good shooting pctg, who cares if he shoots 20 % from 3

Clyde Frazier's not walking through that door

One player (from those currently available) is just not gonna make a difference for Dese Nix.

I’d just as soon they give roster spots to promising and hungry discards from other teams on our summer team like Blake Ahearn, Mo Nuts, and Opie.

pryor is really funny

but he set himself on fire. kind of like a great point guard who doesn’t have a jumper at all.

Can't wait for summer league!

     I’m thinking Ghostface is going to be a lot better than everyone thinks. Screw the league for charging to watch summer league. Thank God for P&T recaps.
     Hopefully this 50 lbs deal is true about Eddy, not because I want him to play well for the Knicks, but because I want him to increase his trade value and go take up cap space on another team.
     Missing out on Grant Hill is okay with me. I like the whole locker room presence thing, but I don’t know how much he would actually help in the games.
     I love Andre Miller, but he’s not coming here unless Donnie decides to screw with our cap space. He would have been signed with Portland or someone else by now, but he’s looking for long term big money. Until 2010, Cap Space comes first!

Just a shame

Nates not gonna get another summer league MVP. Man, whenever I think of summer league it takes me back to the summer of the big 3 rookies- Frye, Nate and Lee, along with that new coach who was gonna lead us to a championship. Good times, at least until the season started.

that was a great summer

way back when frye was promising. frye was actually pretty good that first year. until he blew out his knee and then isiah ruined his career. i still root for frye because i think he got a raw deal in NY.
