I couldn’t agree more. Though it’s hard for me to imagine any team — much less the Pat Riley managed Heat — acquiring Curry and his bloated contract. The Knicks may have to bit the bullet and buy him out before all is said and done.

Now they just need to get rid of Eddy Curry. I’d like to see them do a Curry for Mark Blount swap. Miami needs a center and Curry would be serviceable there. Blount, a career underachiever, is actually really skilled and can put up numbers when looked upon as anything more than an afterthought. The way D’Antoni’s system works, every player is almost equal in opportunity. Let Blount shoot his jumpers without restriction and he can be solid. At the very least, any contribution from Blount or whomever they get, will be a tremendous upgrade over Curry, who isn’t even playing.

Still, at the end of the day, this Knicks team is bad. They’re really lucky they’re not 0-15 right now. They beat some really bad teams on nights when everything went right for them. The Jazz victory sticks out, but keep in mind (a) the Jazz are poor on the road, (b) Deron Williams didn’t play, and (c) it was a close game with the feeling had the Jazz two more minutes they would have come back and won it.

The Knicks are awful.
