Bulls' Curry refuses test;
is swapped to New York
BY ANDREW SEEK,MAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Bulls dealt center Eddy Cur
ry to the New York Knicks on Mon
day, ending a contentious negotia
tion in which Chicago insisted the
restricted free agent take a DNA test
over a heart problem.
In making the announcement, an
obviously frustrated Bulls general
manager John Paxson did not speci
fy what Chicago got in return and
he did not field questions.
“We will have an announcement
tomorrow morning,” Bulls public
relations director Sebrina Brewster
said Monday night. “All we can say
right now is we traded Eddy to
the Knicks. ”
Knicks spokesman Jonathan Supra
nowitz said the team declined com
ment on Paxson’s announcement.
The Bulls had insisted that Curry
take a DNA test to determine
whether he’s susceptible to a poten
tially fatal heart problem. Curry, who
missed the final 13 games of the reg
ular season and the playoffs after ex
periencing an irregular heartbeat,
balked, saying it violated his privacy.
“I would never put a player on the
floor in a Chicago Bulls uniform if I
didn’t do everything in my power to
find out all the information that was
available,” Paxson said. “You can de
bate genetic testing ‘til you’re blue in
the face. But from what I know, from
what I’ve learned over the last six
months, that test could have helped
us determine the best course
of action.”
Curry, drafted out of high school,
averaged a career-high 16.1 points
in his fourth NBA season.
The standoff stemmed from a be
nign arrhythmia that caused Curry
to miss the final 13 games of the
regular season and the playoffs.
Several prominent cardiologists
cleared Curry to play, but Barry
Maron, a world-renowned specialist
in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sug
gested the DNA test.
Paxson has said he understands the
privacy issues involved but insisted
the Bulls do not have an ulterior mo
tive; they simply do not want a situa
tion similar to those of former Boston
Celtics guard Reggie Lewis or Loyola
Marymount star Hank Gathers —
players with hypertrophic cardiomy
opathy who collapsed and died.
Paxson, speaking during the
team’s media day, told reporters the
Bulls had offered.Curry $400,000
annually for the next 50 years if he
failed the genetic test.
"So he would have an above-av
erage lifestyle that would put him in
a position that most other people
aren’t in,” Paxson said. “Our inten
tion through that whole process was
to show him that we did care about
him and that we were concerned
about his well-being.
Phoenix signs Stoudemire
to five-year contract extension
BY BOB BAUM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Amare Stoudemire signed a five
year contract extension Monday with
the Phoenix Suns worth about
$73 million.
The deal is the maximum allowed
under the NBA collective bargaining
agreement for the forward who
jumped from high school to stardom.
The exact figures won’t be known
until next year’s salary cap is set,
Suns president Bryan Colangelo said.
The extension kicks in after this
season and has an opt-out clause af
ter the 2009-10 season.
“What I’ve achieved now is some
thing that I always figured I would as
a kid,” Stoudemire said. “I’ve had
that type of determination since I was
a youngster playing around the play
grounds, getting dirty after school.”
He signed the contract a month
shy of his 23rd birthday as the Suns
gathered for media day preceding the
start of their training camp in Tlicson
on Tliesday.
The 6-foot, 10-inch, 245-pound
power forward played out of position
at center and dominated opponents
last season for the high-scoring, fast
breaking Suns.
Known for his breathtaking slam
dunks and uncanny quickness,
Stoudemire averaged 26 points per
game, fifth-best in the league, as a
key member of a Phoenix team that
won an NBA-best 62 games.
"It’s huge for the franchise,” said
teammate and last season’s MVP
Steve Nash. “He’s the cornerstone of
this franchise.”
Stoudemire, the No. 9 pick in the
2002 draft, won the Rookie of the
Year award over Yao Ming in 2002-03
and has improved each season. He
averaged just under 30 points a game
in last year’s playoffs — 37 against
Tim Duncan in the Western Confer
ence finals.
The signing follows a lucrative deal
with Nike last month.
“I’ve just been working on my
game the whole summer to try to
take us to the top,” Stoudemire said.
“This has been a $100 million sum
mer for me, so I’m very proud of that.
I’m just looking forward to bringing
the championship home right here in
Phoenix.”
The Suns never have won an
NBA title.
Stoudemire is one of basketball’s
great success stories. He was 12
when his father died, and his mother
was in and out of jail. His older
brother is in federal prison. But
Stoudemire never has been
in trouble.
“My main thing is I just stay fo
cused on my all-time goals, and that’s
to become a role model for my family
and also become the best basketball
player I can be,” he said.
Moments after he saw the then 19
year-old work out before the 2002
draft, Suns chairman Jerry Colangelo
told fellow team officials “this is
our guy.”
“Someone asked me a short time
ago ‘You know, Amare’s accom
plished so much what do you think
his upside is?’” the elder Colangelo
said on Monday. “And I said, ‘If you
recognize how far he’s come in his
game, you combine God-given talent
with a work ethic that is terrific and
a heart to be the very best, I don’t
know how high is high.’”
The long-term contract should
keep him in Phoenix at least five
more years.
“The fans are just a pleasure to be
around,” Stoudemire said. “When
I’m out in public, they greet me with
open arms. Also the organization has
been great from the beginning. I
think it’s only right that I stay here
and continue what I started.”
