While it maybe done, the Blockbuster trade that brought Eddy Curry to the Knicks has many varying parts being reported involved by the Media. Similar to what Boston did with Gary Payton last year, the Bulls initially wanted the Knicks to waive veteran big-man Antonio Davis so they could re-sign him. But the Knicks may now want to keep Davis.

The trade will not only bolster the Knicks' frontcourt, it will unclog the glut at several positions, mainly the Foward-spot. With Tim Thomas gone, the Knicks can install Quentin Richardson, a new acquisition, as the starting small forward. Crawford, who could have been bumped from the starting lineup by Richardson, will probably remain as the starting shooting guard.

The Knicks also have Trevor Ariza, Allan Houston and Penny Hardaway to play those two positions.

Sweetney had the inside track to start at power forward. That job now could go to Davis, Maurice Taylor or Malik Rose. Jerome James, who was signed to a five-year, $30 million deal in July to start at center, could become a well-paid backup to Curry.
