Thomas, the Knicks president, believes that Sweetney has a big upside, but Sweetney is a power forward while Curry is a 22-year-old, agile 6-11 center. Several executives feel that Curry will flourish once he leaves Chicago, his hometown."
Hawtness!
If Chicago can deal Curry for Sweetney and Portland gets Vinsanity... this may well be the best basketball week I've known in a long time.
Update: Just wanted to throw this in: Bulls.Blogspot.com. I don't know how this trackback thing works... or else I'd track him back. Maybe some kind reader can help me out...
Fantasy Impact
Curry and Sweetney would both probably do better with this trade. On the one hand, NY could probably afford to let Curry play some PF (since they have a center or two... maybe...?). That's certainly his more natural position.
Sweetney would be the starting center for Chicago, would get lots of PT and would be surrounded by a team of talented youngsters. It would take any pressure off of him to perform (as I'm sure there is on everyone in New York). And it would make me happy.
