Looking Ahead

From the calendar year's end, we can say with certainty that the ECurry/Darko experiment is a total bust. Drako appears to be a head case and Curry just a heartless tease.

Jonathan Bender, OTOH, is a mild pleasant surprise. A minor addition at this point but a welcome contrast to Darko and Eddie. Eddie is untradable until next season. Darko may have value in a larger deal as an expiring contract.

Duhon, despite some adequate recent outings is an unpleasant disappointment. What he does well he compensates with slow, dull poor play and lousy judgment. He is the darling of D'Antoni's (and no one else's) eye and therefore, in this writer's estimation, not likely to be traded but a party will be celebrated the day he's gone.

To date Lee is the team's MVP with honorable mention going to Jared Jeffries whose surprisingly strong play makes him a player this writer would hate to see traded, cap space be damned.

Wilson Chandler is playing fine ball. Time to trade him before his bubble bursts.

N8 and Al want to be here. Ho hum.

Gallo is turning into a fine BB player - a strong second fiddle to dLee.

Jordan Hill is trade bait.

Toney, an improving pine brother.

Larry Hughes is another player who I would love to see stick after this season ends. He's playing poorly at the moment but brings a lot of game to the game.

D'Antoni and Walsh are tiresome.

The 12-20 record is a slight disappointment, We should be closer to 18-14 but that's life.

Bold predictions:

I expect T-Mac to get bought out in Hou and sign with the Knicks.

By the end of the trading deadline, Stephen Curry will be a Knick.
