Curry racked up a bill of more than $41,000 at Casual Male Retail Group, and two years later it remains unpaid, the suit says.Curry supposedly bought almost $4,000 in ties and $22,000 in suits, which, um, yeah, seems a bit freaking absurd. But then again, if you're going to be non-rebounding, non-defensive playing baller in the NYC, you've got to bring your A-game when it comes to clothes.
The company says Curry owes an additional $5,424 in interest from his 2006 shopping sprees.
''It's just a matter of him buying clothing he didn't pay for,'' said Edward Margolis, the attorney representing Casual Male and Jared M. Custom Clothing, a business popular with professional athletes that once was owned by Casual Male.
A clever rumor from Frank Isola of the New York Daily News cites a source who indicates the Bobcats rushed their deal for Boris Diaw and Raja Bell through in order to leave enough cushion before the deadline to flip the new players. The trade deadline is February 19.The Knicks were very much interested in acquiring both Raja Bell and Boris Diaw, but with Mike D'Antoni now in New York after a bitter divorce from the Suns, they were not going to come directly from Phoenix. [...]And scene. If this happens -- any of the old Suns to N.Y. for Curry -- Charlotte's moves begin to make sense and infuriate all the more. Jason Richardson is a phenomenal scorer, the best the Bobcats had by a big margin. Curry's only attribute is scoring. It's just like Larry Brown to prefer a post scorer to a guard gunner.
Another source has said the Bobcats have maintained interest in Eddy Curry, who has yet to play this season because of a bone bruise in his left knee.
Bay Area media types wrestled over the legitimacy of Al Harrington's reported trade request the last few days. On Wednesday, any lingering questions about whether Harrington wants out were squelched as, erm, Harrington told Marcus Thompson III of the Contra Costa Times he wants out."I don't think me and Coach is going to work out - because I feel like he uses me in certain ways and I don't think that's going to change. We all know how Nellie is. We all know his history. If you're not one of his dudes, you ain't never going to be one of his dudes. And that's the truth."For his part, Don Nelson questions how any player could be unhappy in his system, where you're allowed to shoot as soon as you cross mid-court. Nellie simplifies things a little too much in that assessment: isolation basketball (Harrington's strength) isn't the same as Helter Skelter run-and-chuck (Nellie's system). But Nelson is correct in noting that Harrington should be happier with the Golden State way than most other systems.
The New York Knicks opened the season on a great note tonight by winning their home opener against the Miami Heat. It was Mike D'Antoni's first regular-season game as Knicks coach, and from the jump you could see his fingerprints all over this year's Knicks squad. 
The alarm du jour out of Madison Square Garden is Eddy Curry's panic attack over news he hasn't secured a spot in Mike D'Antoni's rotation heading into the team's season opener Wednesday. D'Antoni told reporters Curry won't play Wednesday and is not a part of the team's current eight- to nine-man rotation. Andrew Marchand of ESPN.com asked Curry how it felt to hear the news:"Definitely stunned, especially being that [D'Antoni] didn't tell me that," Curry said Tuesday. "I haven't talked to him. I'm here with him every day. All he has to do is tell me. I'm definitely stunned to hear that."D'Antoni introduced the "Seven Seconds or Less" offense to the modern NBA in 2004. It takes Curry longer than seven seconds to get from foul line to foul line. D'Antoni was hired in May, giving Curry five months to get in the best shape of his life. That didn't happen, and Curry has been out of his element all preseason.
