Some people don’t have any luck. Eddy Curry, who finally made it back on the court after being sidelined with injuries, has been accused of not paying his cleaning bill, and now the NY Times and NY Post are both reporting that Curry is being sued by his former driver for sexual harassment and failure to pay thousands of dollars in back pay. The driver, Dave Kuchinsky, claims through his lawyer that Curry not only owed him over $90,000 in back wages and personal debts, but also made lewd and racially offensive remarks to the driver when he dropped his pants in front of Kuchinsky on two different occasions.

The World Famous LayupDrill Rumor Mill 01/07/09
According to HOOPSWORLD.com, the Toronto Raptors and the Dallas Mavericks could be working on a deal that would send Josh Howard along with DeSagana Diop and Antoine Wright to the Raptors in exchange for Andrea Bargnani and Anthony Parker.
Trade Breakdown
Toronto Raptors
This trade would really help the Toronto Raptors improve both offensively and defensively. Josh Howard is a very talented player with experience in the playoffs. He has the ability to drive the ball to the hoop at any given time and can shoot the ball from almost anywhere on the court. Defensively, Josh Howard would be able to guard the elite players in the Eastern Conference, (Paul Pierce, Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson, LeBron James, Rashard Lewis) giving the Raptors a great shot at making the playoffs. Diop is also an excellent defender and would get decent minutes behind Jermaine O’Neal.
Dallas Mavericks
The Raptors would be giving up yet another first-round draft pick in a trade. The Mavericks would acquire first round draft pick in the 06-07 draft, Andrea Bargnani. Bargnani has potential to form into an outstanding player and making the switch to a different team could be his chance to show that. Dallas would also bring in five year man Anthony Parker, who can do a little bit of everything on the court when given time to play.
Who get’s the better deal?
I say the Toronto Raptors do. What do you think?
