The Miami Heat sign center Eddy Curry

Found December 10, 2011 on Heat Locker:
PLAYERS: Eddy Curry
TEAMS: Miami Heat,  Minnesota Timberwolves,  New York Knicks

The Heat have signed 29-year old center Eddy Curry to a 1-year deal.  Curry last played in the NBA back in the 2009-2010 season with the New York Knicks.  He has played in 511 games (410 starts) in his NBA career so far and he is averaging 25.4 minutes, 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.  Despite having good size, Curry is shy around the basket.  He has been overweight the last three years which has led to physical problems which have kept him off the court.  I think this was a bad signing for the Heat.
