LAS VEGAS – Eddy Curry looked good, moved good, talked good. He’s lost 30 pounds and still feels he has more to go. I don’t think it’s just talk this time.

I believe he’s going to have a season and I also believe trading him for more 2010 cap space is not a no-brainer. As we watched practice Sunday night, we were looking at internet photos of Curry as a young Bull. You saw the youthful face and a more tapered physique. He’s on his way.

He’s 26. Two years ago, we talked about him as an All-Star. Why is it such a given that the Knicks must trade him as soon as he gets some market value. Frankly, I’m tired of the 2010 free-agent talk, tired of this belief they can woo two major free agents as a tandem. Let’s see how Curry plays before you ship him out for a bag of balls like they did Zach Randolph.

D’Antoni never gave Curry a chance and the sensitive Knicks center knew it. When D’Antoni was talking the other day that they need Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari to step up this season and show free agents they should want to join them, the Knicks coach missed an opportunity to plug Curry. Curry should have somehow been mentioned in the sentence. Stop thinking of Curry as Isiah’s guy and start thinking of him as a big, burly center who can actually help.

In this day and age, when NBA reporters claim a scoop if they rush something onto the web ten minutes before it’s about to be announced, The Post’s Peter Vecsey may not fit in.

But Vecsey is the pioneer of the NBA scoop, when scoops were really scoops. Vecsey is headed to the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, winning the Curt Gowdy Award. Love him or hate him, they always read him. Congrats, Pete.
