NEW YORK — The mind boggles and the mouse googles:

A comedic acquaintance, poetically licensed to twist the truth, finds it incredulous the Knicks supposedly would consider swapping essentially Al Harrington for Tyrus Thomas.

"The Bulls knew Eddy Curry was a bum. They knew Tyson Chandler was a high-energy, injury-prone bum. Why would anyone want Tyrus? The Bulls may not be good at drafting players, but, for the most part, they have a pretty good bum detector."
