Could D’antoni go back to his Suns style with the Russ pickup? That is my big question. It’s probably up to Harden.
Edit: this is wrong
Proud father to 8 children Eddy Curry. I bet those grocery bills are a *****.

Nope I’m wrong. Curry was the 4th pick. The Kwame Brown folks are right

While I am a truly elite poster, I am also human and do make the occasional mistake.
Does anyone remember the show that was in Fox Sports Net back in the earlier days of Directv that followed Curry and a couple other guys in the Chicago area during their Sr years in HS? Loved that show.
Didn't the Bulls also trade Elton Brand (who was a good player at the time) to get that Eddy Curry pick?
He battled hard for the Pistons in the playoffs. His knees were shot and you could see him gutting it out.
After the post game interview he walked around and shook every reporter's hand. Pretty classy move.
Yeah, I don't dispute that he's battled for the Pistons. Injuries have taken their toll and he's nowhere near the hyperathletic guy he was early in his career. But I do think that for a guy who's been talked about as a fringe MVP candidate a couple times in his career he doesn't have much postseason success to show for it. Very good player and a joy to watch at the height of the Lob City years, but not great.
I'm looking forward to all the massive overreactions in November and early December when some of the newly assembled teams and star pairings aren't immediately clicking.
Definitely not the hyperathletic dunker he was known as but he has developed a good handle and jump shot. He's probably stuck in Detroit though.
