Bottom line for Eddie Curry is his heart - how dedicated he has been this offseason. If he is in shape for this fall then he'll eventually get what he wants. If he's out of shape for the preseason camp, he'll never get the kind of offer he wants.
ChicagoSports.com - Curry seeking sign-and-trade: "Meanwhile, questions continue to surface about Curry's weight and whether he's in shape. Earlier this summer he said he wasn't playing full-court because he didn't want to risk an injury while negotiating a contract. He has been drilling and lifting weights under the guidance of Tim Grover, Michael Jordan's former trainer."
One more note:
The guy blew it with Atlanta. They would have made him an offer Paxson probably would not have matched given everyone's concern over Eddie's possible heart condition. If Eddie had showed enthusiasm for Atlanta, they'd take the risk and sign him as a player who could turn their team around. He has that much potential if he were motivated to use his talent.
Sadly, Eddie left Atlanta early to attend a wedding and it it seems when he was there, he clearly didn't encourge them (or anyone else watching how he behaved) he was mature enough to take the risk to sign him. Eddie really is a big kid and he demonstarted that to the NBA when he left Atlanta early and his agnet had to explain it afterwards.
Eddie Curry has a heart problem, the one in his chest isn't the biggest problem.
