Worst Trade Ever?
Has any trade worked out worse for both teams than the Knicks/Bulls trade of Eddy Curry? Curry has been a major disappointment for the Knicks and, really, there's no need to go into how the deal didn't work for them. But the Bulls end of the deal simply get worse and worse. They should have landed LaMarcus Aldridge for Curry but opted to deal the right to him for Ty Thomas, a guy who has been bashed by his former coach (Scott Skiles) and is currently on the trading block. He is an energy guy who doesn't hustle and a tweener in the worst sense: he's too small to play PF, too unskilled to play SF. Oh, and as an added bonus, the Bulls got Tim Thomas, who they quickly sent home, weren't interested in having on their roster (despite having to pay him), and, in the end, bought him out of his contract only to watch him be an asset for the Suns in the playoffs. Still, the Bulls had the option to switch picks with the Knicks this year and that would surely save the deal.
Enter Joakim Noah.
Already in his career, Noah has erupted at coaches, fought with teammates, and been such a problem that his teammates unanimously voted to suspend him.
This year, the Bulls and Knicks are in last place in their respective divisions and both are in the bottom 10 of the league. For all the trash that Isiah gets talked about him, to me, Jon Paxson's performance was even more pathetic. He turned Eddy Curry into two lottery picks, neither of whom anybody in the organization seems to want anything to do with.
