Hawks' interest in Curry seems genuine

Hawks' interest in Curry seems genuine: "Curry's agent, Leon Rose, is hoping to get a multiyear deal paying Curry between $8 million and $10 million a year.

What is uncertain is whether Knight at least put in an opening bid while Bulls operations chief John Paxson apparently is waiting to make sure Curry's heart is insured."


I've read that 8 million a year is about the average salary for a starting NBA center. If Curry's agent will take 8 million then I say pay it. Currys an asset given his playful personality and at times he can be unstoppable. You have to ignore the past when setting value with a kid like Eddie and look to the future. Eddie is going to be an efficient scoring center who can't rebound and doesn't finish games. He probably will get better than this bu thow much is unclear and he will have his downsides. That's an 8 million dollar man - no more. Pair him with a defesive powerforward and keep a serviceable backup center and you'll have a good front line up.
