As the Knicks continue to be linked to Bulls' restricted free agent Eddy Curry, multiple versions of events are appearing in multiple papers.

According to the New York Post, Curry has told friends the Knicks are still in the mix. The deadline for Curry to re-sign with the Bulls for their one-year, $5.1 million qualifying offer has been pushed back from today to Monday.

The holdup in a Knick-Bull deal is the Bulls' refusal to take one of the Knicks' two first-round picks next year. The Bulls prefer a young player added to the package, such as David Lee or Trevor Ariza.

Michael Sweetney and Tim Thomas have been offered in a variety of packages.

Curry's agent, Leon Rose, said: "There's been a lot of discussions the last 48 hours with the Bulls regarding a sign-and-trade."
