More than any other team in the League this season, the Knicks have been staunchly averse to any sort of personnel change. The refusal to can Isiah; the apparent happiness with the floundering roster late in ‘07; or even the impossibly positive perspective: “You can say we’re not getting better because we haven’t won games, but I think over the last couple of weeks we have gotten better,” said Isiah.

But it now seems that Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph are both shifting over to the trading block.

It’s a victory for Knicks fans that Thomas even addressed the issues at hand. “With our record, every area needs addressing,” said Zeke.

But Zach and Eddy are as far as it goes. The Knicks clearly stated that Nate Robinson, Jamal Crawford and David Lee aren’t going to be moved.

You have to imagine that there will be suitors for Zach. But Curry?

“The question is whether he’s regressed or, is this it, he’s not getting any better?” said an NBA executive. “You have to remember, when Eddy came out of Chicago, he was regarded as someone who did not like to work and who did not like basketball. So do you blame Zach’s presence, or do you say, Eddy doesn’t have the upside the Knicks thought he had? In either case, the experiment with Zach has not worked.”
