He just did poorly in that bad spot, so replacing him makes all the sense in the world.

I wasn't real impressed with Curry myself, but the Billups trade truly killed the season and any chance that he may have had.

I'll say this, however, I think there's gonna be a whole lot of shakin' goin' on at the Palace the next few days. Dumars is not timid about making moves.<br /><br />P.S.
