Eddy Curry and his agent have arranged for the big man to head to Detroit this off-season to lose weight, get his body in shape, and regain control of his basketball career.

Curry's Twitter message was as follows: "In detroit with my uncle "WES" I'm spending the summer here working out. Wish me luck!!!"

Curry is referring to William "Wes" Wesley, the man who is a key catalyst and deal-maker in the world of the NBA.

Wesley is also a close friend of LeBron James. Curry and James have the same agent, Leon Rose.
