i actually like felton a lot and if this deal is there, i'd still pursue it.

14ppg 7apg and he was played off the ball quite a bit. last year after the all-star break he played more at PG and averaged 15.5ppg and 8.3apg. in april he was at 16.8ppg and 9.6apg.

This guy is more offensively challenged than Lee. Your pointing out these number but they have very little meaning. You want the most improtant numbers on Felton just look at his FG% its .396 for his career. He shot 41% from the floor. This guys numbers are a product of playing on a bad team.

I am totally opposed to a deal for Raymond Felton, this guy is one of the worst pgs in the game.

the knock on him is that he is a poor finisher in the paint, usually because the paint is so clogged because the bobcats had horrible spacing. that's why they drafted morrison. d'antoni will space the floor better here with Gallinari and later additions. felton can get by anyone, he's not the best shooter. but his fg% is trending upwards. he shot 39% his first year, shot 41% last year. with better spacing, he'll have better numbers. he shouldn't be off the ball, he should be pushing the ball. i think he's the best pg we can get.

people are acting like hinrich is the best we can get, but he shot 41% and only averaged 11ppg and 6apg with far superior teammates than what felton had. hinrich was also running the point the whole time. hinrich is overvalued, felton is undervalued.

felton is the best pg we can reasonably get for dlee.

Felton is a pure pg and would be a great addition to our team. A few points on Felton:

One of the reasons his numbers are bogged down a little, is because his coaches haven't been using him right. For some reason, I saw him playing off the ball alot which makes absolutely no sense. As Crzy pointed out, down the stretch when he was back maning the point exclusively, he average near 17 and 10. In D'Antoni's pick and roll system, Felton can put up similar numbers to the ones he put up in April. Felton is the goods and he is a better pure point than Lowry and Hnrich. Felton should be the target.

If the Knicks made this move I woould totally disagree with it. He is not that good that is why Bobcats are giving up on him. If Larry Brown doesn't want him and that is his first move is to get rid of him then I don't want him. I don't want another teams junk. He never made anyone better and that is why they are getting rid of him.

Your way off with this. Just because Charlotte may not want him (BTW this is all speculation, no one has confirmed that they are giving him away) doesn't mean he isn't any good. Besides, supposedly, we dont want Lee. Is he not any good? I think it comes down to a fit. If LB doesn't think Felton fits his vision, it doesn't mean he isn't good for someone elses system. And putting all your trust into who LB might want or not isn't alwasy the best thing. If LB doesn't want Felton, you can add him to the long list of other players he didn't beginning with Iverson and Billups.

The Knicks system requires pgs to be able to pass and shoot. Felton maybe a decent passer but he is a terrible shooter. The Knicks are planning on running a spread offense, Felton doesn't fit the D'Antoni system. He shot .280 from three point range thats aweful. There are better options out there than Felton. Why don't we just let Mardy play he can shoot .280 from three and dish it what the hell you want Felton for. You guys are falling for his BS number when he is an aweful point guard and he wouldn't help turn the Knicks around. You don't want a point guard coming from another loser programm. I would take Bueno Udrich over felton in a heart beat.

i trust D'Antoni's judge of PGs more than Brown's. if D'Antoni wants him, that's good enough for me. right now we don't know who initiated this trade - maybe D'Antoni nixed it, maybe Charlotte nixed it. i think D'Antoni will find a guy who works for him, whether it's Ridnour, Blake, Watson, Felton. not sure Udrih is available, but he's a nice option. sacramento needs a pg desperately though, they coveted Augustine, so i don't think they see Udrih as their playmaker.

people who think we're going to get monta ellis for lee are insane. i would've prefered Chalmers over all these options, but we missed out big time on him imho. i think felton is a good bet, if D'antoni agrees my guess is he'll be here.
