Around SBN: NFL Week One: Previews and Predictions for all 15 games

The police are searching for Eddy Curry.

Remember on draft night when we heard murmurs that there was a warrant out for Eddy Curry's arrest? Yeah? Well, that's still the case. While the Knicks' front office is hard at work courting free agents (and possibly trying to move Curry's contract, as it happens), Eddy is still at odds with the law. From the Chicago Sun-Times:

The NBA player remains at large, two weeks after a Cook County Judge issued an arrest warrant for failing to appear at a hearing to pay what’s left in a legal settlement reached after he was sued for allegedly having sex with an underage girl when he was 18, according to court records.

Curry was never charged with a crime.

On Wednesday, Cook County Sheriff’s deputies went to Curry’s Burr Ridge home to arrest the player — currently on the New York Knicks roster — and while a vehicle was in the driveway, no one answered the door, said sheriff’s spokesman Steve Patterson.

"It’s not a (violent) criminal matter, so it’s not like we’d break down the door and cuff somebody in a situation like this. But we’re going to actively continue to find him," Patterson said.

"We thought by now he would have done the right thing and turned himself in, but because he chose not to do to that we’re actively looking to arrest him," Patterson said.

Save your jokes on this one. Hopefully, Eddy's legal troubles will be sorted out sooner rather than later.

I feel sorry for him that his career he planned on is sabotage’d but I figure if he actually is depressed he just needs some better perspective on life since being a millionaire is more than enough to be happy…

Yeah, it's hard for me to feel read bad for Eddy Curry

He repeatedly makes one horrible decision after another … all the while eating himself out of shape, knowing full well that without being in proper playing shape, he will likely never play basketball again.
You know what I’ve realized? He doesn’t care. He’d much rather sit around on his fat ass and steal money from the organization. Screw him – I hope they find him, arrest him, and throw his ass in jail. He’s a thief and a liar and I have no respect for him.

Educate me.

When has he ever - ever - worked hard to get back on the court and play basketball for the Knicks? When has he ever - ever - watched his diet in order to get in playing shape? When has he ever earned a penny of his contract? Educate me.

DUDE Relax, there is some serious stuff going on here. him being a lard ass

and lazy aside for a sec. Dude has cops looking for him, and if you have not noticed, if he is in jail, we can’t play him a nor can we trade him so let’s hope this thang aint serious!

by Robert Currence on Jul 1, 2010 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

If he's in the slammer

then he is in violation of his contract, NO? then we can cut him, YES? Then we can spend the $11million elsewhere. HUH?

by bobzillla on Jul 1, 2010 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

He's not going to jail for any length of time

… it’s a civil matter from what I understand. Eddy’s not being charged with any serious “crimes” which could land him in jail a la Michael Vick or Plaxico Burress.

Well.

I’m not one to entertain the musings of someone who already has their mind made up about something they know so little about. But I’ll humor you.

He lost 30 pounds last summer. If you want exact dates, look it up.
Also, try looking up “Compassion.” Also, while you’re hitting the books, look up the general consensus on kicking a man when he’s down.

Yea

I feel bad for eddy too. Guy’s his own worst enemy. Except maybe the dudes who robbed him at gunpoint and tied him up at his own house. They’re probably pretty high on the worst enemy list.

I agree with you, but

(all joking aside) it’s hard to imagine how someone can be such a mess while making millions of dollars to do literally nothing.

by frilly on Jul 1, 2010 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

anybody else hoping that

Eddy goes all White Bronco and Walsh can then void his contract?

i sympathize with the things that have gone wrong in Eddy’s life that he couldn’t control (robbery, heart issue, the tragic murder of his daughter). but, i’m not going to cry any tears for him over this, his extravagant and reckless spending habits, or his ridiculous contract that allows him to collect millions for contributing absolutely nothing on the basketball court.

Also true.

Eddy is one of those very few people who can elicit both feelings of sympathy and bitterness at the same time.

I'm not convinced that the robbery and tragic murder of his daughter aren't related ...

seems awful “unlucky” to have these types of things happen in a span of a few years. Most go a lifetime and never get a jaywalking ticket … I think his “bad decisions” led to these things as well.

Now thats too far

Not liking him as a player is one thing, condemning him as a bad person if he is indeed guilty of this whole thing is another, but you are way out of line to blame Eddy’s daughter’s death and his kidnapping at gunpoint on himself. You do realize the kind of gang shit that goes on on the south side of Chicago, right? Eddy was a can’t miss NBA prospect since he was 14, of course there are gonna be people tryin to start shit with him.

If you don’t like Eddy as a player, fine. If you want to wait until this sorts itself out and condemn him if he’s guilty, fine. But the shit you are spouting off is a lot more ignorant than that and you should really check yourself. Eddy’s life has been more complicated than all of ours put together and even if he had kept every cent he’s made you wouldn’t trade places with him in a million years. So chill.

I should've chosen my words more carefully

I wrote that I’m not convinced they aren’t related. I should’ve stuck with that. You think Curry is the only professional athlete to ever come out of the south side of Chicago?! You act as if these things are regular occurences … one such thing would be highly unusual for someone to experience in a lifetime … both?!
I’m saying that these things don’t usually happen by accident to one person over and over and over and over and over again. Either Curry is the unluckiest person to ever live, or bad decisions have greatly impacted his life.
Let’s not act as if horrible things happening to a person gives them a pass for making horrible choices. They don’t.

Not either/or

Its both. He’s been phenomenally unlucky and has also made some pretty terrible decisions. That doesn’t explain why you’re getting all high and mighty and calling him a “thief and a liar”.

Isaiah offered Eddy a lot of money to play basketball. He then played some basketball and then, when D’Antoni got here, didn’t play because either he was injured ( I don’t believe that), or because D’Antoni refused to play him (real reason). He actually lost a ton of weight, but still wasn’t able to get off the bench. This sounds like its the cause of your anger toward him. You’re anger should be directed at Isaiah for giving him the contract or at D’Antoni if you think he was burying a good player. Eddy’s bad money decisions don’t affect you, so don’t start moralizing about his character.

Seriously (and this is directed at people in general who find comedy in Curry's life)

Signed out of high school. No leadership training. No money training. Buffet lines of entourage. Hands out at each opportunistic moment. He didn’t play here cuz he couldn’t get into the flow. He has put in effort, but the mind is willing and the flesh is weak. I hate getting kids outta HS. It’s bad enuff we don’t get any real-world training except hard knocks – how do you throw millions of dollars at a freakin’ teenager. Not everyone’s got the makeup to deal with pressure of having that much cash on hand. That’s why so many lottery winners are said to fail miserably after getting the cash. More taxes and more decisions and more responsibility. We don’t know what goes on someone’s life and just cuz the paper or tube says so doesn’t make it true. Sensationalism sells, not common goodness and courtesy. If you believe everything you read or hear, there’s a whore of a newspaper called the NYPost awaiting your subscription (this is not directed to you Mr. Subpoena). There’s no excuse for stupidity, ignorance etc. If you live that way and allow people and situations to own you, then you’ve some degree reaped what you’ve sown. But don’t kick a man when he’s down ‘cuz you might not handle it any better at his age, with his friends, his lifestyle, etc. I don’t approvce of Eddie’s choices or lifestyle. I do believe in his position I would take whatever money peeps throw at me, cuz lets face it – gonna need it! If he commits criminal activity then he he needs to answer for it. Some of us have gotten away with some crazy shit in life, me included, and seemingly don’t have to pay for it cuz we didn’t get caught. Get over Eddy cuz some of this crap ain’t funny

God knows what would happen if I got that kind of money

…. hookers and blow every night! Well, ok … not every night. In any event, I probably be dead in about a month.

See this is the Fault of the media

Everyone is so hyped up about Lebron, that no one has noticed that the Chicago police cannot find him because he is not in Chicago. Since the middle of May Eddy Curry has been working out at the Knick Facility with Bill Walker, Toney Douglas and Wilson Chandler. Curry has been trying to lose weight and has also been working on regaining some of his on the court skills. Seriously, folks need to check the Knick website. It is a throw away line in the Wilson Chandler recovery story about how Will and Eddy have been working out every day.

I hear the same thing every year -- how hard Eddy Curry is working -- and then he shows up 300+

find him because he is in NY! Duh, working out or playing hide the salami with a knish, does it matter.

Him getting on the floor

couldtn hurt.. Actually, he could probably beast around some talent! lol

ok, now for some real insight. Curry’s contract is already a great tradeable asset. Him getting on the court and producing would be HUGE though.

Wouldnt be surprised

to hear that EC didnt even know that they were looking for him. I mean, a mishap he did when he was 18? How many of yall got some skins when you were 18 and the girl wasnt.. shyt she could have been 17 for all we know.

somebody shoot this to ec so he can get this taken care of asap!!
