New York Knicks Center Eddy Curry is Free to Sit The Bench
New York Knicks Center Eddy Curry's recent arrest warrant has been lifted in Cook County, Illinois after a payment agreement was reached on the outstanding balance for Curry's civil suit. Curry, the former Chicago Bull, failed to maintain a payment schedule on a $660,000 settlement with Christina White. The settlement stemmed from an earlier legal settlement of a 2005 sexual abuse lawsuit. This was the second warrant issued for Curry's arrest this summer.
With all the issues Curry has had off the court and his failure to perform on the court, the logical thing would be for the Knicks to try to void Curry's contract. Unfortunately, NBA players usually win the arbitrations held about these types of cases and Curry's expiring contract is one of the few pieces the Knicks have left to land a big player like Carmelo Anthony.
In a perfect world, the court would be able to make an order to seize Curry's paychecks from the Knicks. This would not only keep Curry's name out of the news for all the wrong reasons, but allow the Knicks to have the satisfaction of knowing Curry will not see that money while he is riding the pine.
