In reply to:

It would take a marquee player to pry Curry from the Bulls, but don't expect Paxson to join the bidding for the Blazers' Rasheed Wallace. If Paxson thought he had a shot at the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant, who becomes a free agent this summer, he probably would package Curry in a trade for Wallace, whose contract expires after this season and frees up $17 million.

But the Bulls have been burned before by risking everything on free agency, and it appears the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns have a better shot at Bryant.

Then again, Paxson likely would jump at the chance to deal Crawford, Fizer and Antonio Davis for Wallace. The Atlanta Hawks' Shareef Abdur-Rahim is another player on the Bulls' wish list.

Hmm, Curry + Crawford + ? for Sar (+?), any biters?

He's a reeses away from a Stanley Roberts or Never Nervious
Pervis. He also doesn't rebound worth a crap. It would cost
them Tyson Chandler at the least.

Most definitely Tyson, but both have their cons. Like you said Curry is reeses away from being Oliver Miller and Chandler is even more fragile than Theo. So no way I want to trade Reef, a guy that consistently gets you 20 and 10 season after season that have missed less games than my ten fingers put together for any of those two.

Heck I'd rather have Chandler too, but Curry is a C afterall which is the most difficult position to find a good player for.

Anyway I would love a backcourt consisting of JC and Diaw while our upcoming lotto pick could be pf Dwight or fc Emeka..

I think Curry and Boozer would play well next to each other.

Tyson Chandler has taken the bull by the horns and has worked hard to improve his game.

Eddy Curry has not silenced early critics he had that stated he was a very lazy player who only tried when he had the ball in his hands.

Right now, Eddy Curry is a guy with great size and athleticism but he a very mediocre rebounder and defender.
