Danilo Gallinari

The Knicks are reportedly willing to trade Danilo Gallinari as the centerpiece of a package to acquire Carmelo Anthony.

During his Tuesday show on ESPN Radio in New York, Michael Kay cited sources in reporting that the Knicks will offer Gallinari, a future first-round pick and Eddy Curry in a bid to acquire Carmelo Anthony from Denver.

Curry’s contract would be included to make the trade work under the salary cap.

Wilson Chandler

The Knicks will explore the possibility of trading forward Wilson Chandler, according to a source familiar with the team’s thinking.

New York could package Chandler with center Eddy Curry’s expiring contract in order to acquire another big man.

Chandler has a contract the Knicks likely will move to be enough under the 2011 salary cap for a maximum contract.

Wilson Chandler

Wilson Chandler is recovering well from ankle and sports hernia surgeries and has been working out at the Knicks’ training facility.

“Everything has been going pretty good,” Chandler said. “I’ve been in the gym every morning for about three hours on an average day. I will be going to Vegas to workout with the team.”

Chandler reported that Toney Douglas, Bill Walker and Eddy Curry are “working hard every day” at the team’s facility north of Manhattan.

Eddy Curry

LeBron James has reached out to Knicks center Eddy Curry about working out together at some point during the offseason, according to a source.

James and Curry are both represented by agent Leon Rose and also have close ties to NBA power broker William Wesley, whom New York put in charge of Curry’s workouts this summer.

The New York Daily News points out that Curry’s involvement in the recruit of James may be a bad thing for the Knicks.

Eddy Curry

The New York Knicks have been trying to get rid of Eddy Curry and his oversized contract for some time.

The conventional wisdom is the team this summer will find a way to ditch him and the $11.3 million he is owed for the final year of his deal.

But who will want a guy who has only played 10 games in the last two seasons? Sources claim the 7-footer is apparently done for this season, if not for his career in New York.

Eddy Curry

Eddy Curry is still experiencing pain in his right calf and has yet to re-take the court after sitting out most of the season.

“I really thought I was close,” Curry said Monday. “I really felt coach was really going to play me and really have the opportunity to get out there with these guys even though we’re not playing for a playoff spot.”

There is some belief in the Knick organization that Curry is not rushing back because he is disappointed that he did not play regularly when he was healthy earlier in the season.

Curry will make an attempt to get on the court Wednesday in Boston.

Eddy Curry

Knicks team president Donnie Walsh flew all the way to San Antonio to watch Eddy Curry’s return last night. And all Walsh saw was Curry’s return to the pregame layup line.

Curry’s ballyhooed comeback from left knee surgery in January was absurdly scrapped when he developed a tight right calf.

Curry sat on the bench in uniform but did not play in last night’s 97-87 loss to the Spurs at AT&T Center.

It was another night filled with setbacks as the Knicks fell apart late and fell to 22-42, officially securing their franchise-record ninth straight losing season.

Eddy Curry

Tonight, Eddy Curry will be feeling some butterflies. Because it has been a while since he even has been active for a game, let alone played in one.

With 19 games to go, the Knicks’ perpetually injured big man is set to return to action in San Antonio tonight.

Curry has not played since Dec. 17, missing 38 straight games.

Eddy Curry

Perhaps there is a Knicks future for Eddy Curry that goes beyond the season’s final 1 ½ months.

Curry is days away from practicing and Mike D’Antoni said he will definitely play him on his center-starved roster.

Though skeptical, the 6-foot-11 Curry would not rule out being a member of the Knicks next season. It seemed guaranteed Curry would be bought out this summer in order to save perhaps $1 million in cap space.

Asked about his future, Curry, making a rare appearance with the team yesterday in Cleveland, said, “I don’t know. I hope so. But I don’t know. It’s kind of early to tell. We’ll see what happens.”

Larry Hughes

Knicks guard Larry Hughes has not been loving life since coach Mike D’Antoni removed him from the rotation.

That lack of love manifested itself yesterday in Hughes supposedly walking out of practice.

Hughes was the only Knick – other than the injured Knick Eddy Curry – who was not out on the floor taking shots an hour into practice when reporters were let into the gym. A PR flack for the Knicks said Hughes was taking a “bathroom break,” but the shooting went on for another 35 minutes with no sign of Hughes.

Unless he had something pretty nasty for breakfast, it appeared that Hughes was too angry to work with the team right then.
