EDDY SIGHTING: Eddy Curry has become visible of late, sitting among his teammates before games and talking casually with reporters. Curry, who is hoping to make his season debut within the next two weeks, knows that once he begins playing - and plays well - his time with the Knicks could be brief.

The Knicks have made no secret that trading Curry would enhance their prospects of signing two major free agents in the summer of 2010. Charlotte has expressed interest in Curry, and people close to the Knicks center say that he would welcome a change of address.

"I don't know what's going to happen," Curry said. When asked about the Bobcats, Curry only said, "I enjoyed playing for Larry (Brown) when he was here."

Two weeks ago, Charlotte acquired Boris Diaw and Raja Bell from Phoenix, and the thinking among some NBA executives is that both players will eventually be shipped to New York in a deal for Curry and possibly David Lee. ... Knicks president Donnie Walsh on the team's playoff chances: "We're in the hunt. We're not out of it. You really have to go after it on a day-by-day basis." ... Denver All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony is sidelined with an elbow injury but he may return for Sunday's game at the Garden.

D'Antoni trying to bring his old boys in NY...?

What's the date for being able to trade them both? Can't you only do 1-1 deals at this point?

Lee is the type of player missing in Brown's 'tenure' with the Knicks.

Diaw is a considerably better player than Curry. Not just on his own, but for the Bobcats specifically.

Not sure whether it's good for either team, but it's definitely good for Diaw and Bell who used to be Dantoni's small-ball strikers for years.
Knicks is better than bobcats, at least NY is a bigger market that can bring you more fans and more ad contracts.
