I had no idea the Eddy Curry deal was that bad. Was it criticized at the time?

Excellent post, btw.

nice-like the redick. but don't you think the upside/downside comparison is too generous?

also: craig hodges was my favorite player when i was a kid. he's twice the man jj redick will ever be.

nice post d lee...you ought to contact dolan about isiah's poition next spring should the knicks not improve dramatically...or is it substantially? or measurably? considerably?

Rileydat: 'Tequila Sunrise'? Russell's hair's pretty slick in that one.

Underrated '80s movie with the underrated Ann Magnuson.

tequila sunrise is correct.

cW gets the points and the championship, and joins joe monkeyweb in the pantheon of genii.

yeah, i guess Ainge is a little generous for Redick but it's less generous than an actual beleif in him turning into Petrovic.

I just don't wanna be caught saying he absolutely has NO chance of soing anything in the NBA. he does have a SHOT at making something of his pasty-ass on the next level. I just wouldn't bank on it..

OMG OMG!!!11!!!1 I'm so totally genyus!!111!!

I'll take the $1200 cash prize please.

Hans, remember when I lost a bet and had to show up to the office dressed as Pat Riley? It was totally worth it.

cW, i let you win...
deion | 06.28.06 - 12:24 pm | #

I still don't have my prize...

I'm all for Pittsnogle. Laimbeer at the second half of his career would be a good upside. Fans here would love him.

Can I get on the Dolan bandwagon? Isiah is sinking the Knicks faster than he sunk the CBA.

Joakim Noah number 1? That would be a huge mistake.

See you at the protest...

My brother played against Noah. Anyone who played against my brother's school cannot seriously be considered a #1 pick.

What a terrific article

I say without a doubt:

DLee is the best, most entertaining and readable basketball writer there is... to hell with Vescey and all the others

also - I'd say Redick's downside would more approach Steve Alford, and O'Bryant's would be more like Brad Sellers, and Rodney Carney looks a lot like Tim Perry to me

but that's just me

Let DLee do the basketball writing, BJL.

i too thought about the Alford comparison but i think Redick is a bit better than that.
