After getting out of prison in 2007 for stealing $43 million from Merrill Lynch, Daniel Gordon quickly was back in business, loaning hundreds of thousands of dollars to pro athletes at interest rates topping 75 percent per year and on his way to making multimillion-dollar business deals, court records show.

But Gordon's return to the business world from prison has been a bumpy ride. He's faced several lawsuits over his business dealings and remains mired in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case he filed nearly three years ago that includes allegations of theft and fraud against him made by his ex-wife, Laura Gordon, and pro basketball player Eddy Curry.

Eddy Curry — His summer plans include playing more basketball than he did this season, though he has expressed no complaints, and said he would “love” to come back, and see how he could contribute in a more normal season. He may try to tie himself to free agent (and close friend) Jamal Crawford in some way. He has already accepted an invitation to participate in Crawford’s charity event in Seattle. Palm Beach Post

“I’m in a much better place than I was,” said Curry, still just 29 entering free agency. “I’m looking forward to see how the Finals play out, and I’m also looking forward to the summertime, so I can continue working and just see what’s out there.” Palm Beach Post

Curry feels he now has a template for how to maintain his body, and keep from falling out of shape again. “That’s my goal, to play as much basketball as possible this summer, and have fun,” Curry said. He’s already planning to play in Jamal Crawford’s summer league in Seattle. He wants to “get up and down, and get some buckets” with Crawford, one of his closest pals. Palm Beach Post

“I’ve had a lot of fun here, made a lot of great friends here,” said Curry, who has become close with Dexter Pittman. “I love Miami, I love these guys here, and I would love to physically be a part of it. I was mentally part of it, I would love to physically do it this time.” Palm Beach Post

Q: You mentioned it isn't too late to sign a point guard for the playoffs. Who is available, who would you pick, and who would you cut to make room for him? -- Tino. A: I would sign Anthony Carter, perhaps consider Antonio Daniels, and cut Eddy Curry. (Although I do appreciate the politics, with Eddy represented by the same firm as Wade, LeBron and Bosh.)

So that raises the question: Is Curry interested in returning to the Heat next season? "I don't know," he said. "We'll see what happens. I'm here right now. I don't know what's going to happen. . . . At the end of this thing, I'll sit down with (Spoelstra) and with (Heat president Pat) Riley and with my agent (Leon Rose)." FOXSports Florida

Curry didn't disagree it could be difficult returning to Miami after playing so little. "Obviously, it'd be tough," Curry said. "Although I haven't played and they told me I would play, it hasn't shaken my confidence at all. They're real hands-on here. Coach Spo talks to me about it and tells me what's on his mind, and I tell him what's on my mind. As long as that line of communication is open, I got to take them as men of their words. I have no complaints. Of course, I would love to play. Everybody would love to play." FOXSports Florida

I spoke to Eddy Curry about how little he's played. He's disappointed but grateful to Heat for resurrecting career "As far as playing wise it hurts me that I’m not playing'' he said "Honesty I feel like I did a lot to put myself in a position to be successful here but it just hasn’t turned into minutes for me. But I think on another note my body is great. I’m continuing to lose weight, continuing to get myself in great shape. And that’s all I can really ask for. It’s a world-class organization' Sulia

The VH1 reality show, “Basketball Wives,” makes being linked to an NBA basketball player look glamorous. But Korie Kellogg, the ex-wife of the Miami Heat’s Eddy Curry, would say it’s not all that it is cracked up to be. “Absolutely not. I’m always watched because of who I was married to,” she said in an exclusive interview. Southtown Star

Last week, it was reported that Kellogg, 30, has been charged with beating the 10-year-old son she had with Curry with a belt. After her son told a teacher that he’d gotten a “whipping,” the school contacted the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, and the boy was allowed to go home. Kellogg took him to Silver Cross Hospital on the advice of a DCFS investigator. “I took him there just being cooperative with the DCFS” Kellogg said. “I discipline my son with love, but because a celebrity is involved everybody is trying to make this incident bigger than it is.” Southtown Star
