NEW YORK -- A presence in the paint, Eddy Curry is even more of a presence at the plate. He's the only player I've ever seen gain weight on a break and I don't mean commercial.

Nevertheless, opponents are praying Curry develops a deadly 5-meter and beyond jumper over the summer. By all means, take that large load outside so teams aren't forced to foul and can stay out of the penalty.

How soon before Isiah Thomas coordinates the Kevin Garnett acquisition?
