Wouldn't be terrible. Looks like what we need -- a direct contrast to PP. We really needed another quicker/uptempo PG and this guy fits the bill. Nice offensive game which'll help on that 2nd unit. Always been a solid 3-pt shooter going back to Cal State Fullerton. More familiar with Aaron Brooks -- that's the guy I really wanted but this guy looks similar enough. Would be a good move to fill a need.

The Knicks are considering Brown with one of their remaining veteran minimum slots, sources said. The Knicks need a third point guard to play behind Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni. Yahoo! Sports

I sent out a couple Twitter msgs out to recruit BobbyBrown to Knick's
Alan Han, Zerling, and a few more
Doubt I had anything to do with it but very glad they are bringing him in

I forgot but I saw Bobby Brown from someone here and youtubed him and was quite impressed
Compared Brown to a poor man's Bayless and Murry to a poor man's Jarret Jack *before he improved his PG skills*

Instead of using the rest of the MLE for Metta World Peace so he can make only 200k more because he is already a 10year vet, saving it for another player/players would make much more sense
IF MWP really wanted to play for NYK, I highly doubt 200k would make a difference for him,
Players with much more value and become asset's at their deals like

Nate Robinson
Udrih

Dalembert
Byron Mullens

maybe

James Johnson

Patty Mills
Aaron Brooks
AJ Price

and/or possibly other FA's with more potential/value, with cuts/amnesty

The worse case scenario, would save us from possibly Lin/Copeland scenarios, and for 2015 FA's we have the ability to keep 2 younger players with upside that are cost efficient
I would have use the rest of the MLE, dividing it to give 3 year contracts, TEAM OPTION's, to both Murry and Bobby Brown
Instead of the first year salary of under 500k and it would be a greater incentive to perform with TEAM OPTIONS
As for the 3rd year, it would be the same year Chandler/Amare all expire, with all the best UFA's in NBA history in 2015 summer to retool
So keeping them with the rest of the MLE, would allow us keep rotational players/positions under contract and a minimum scale to target the big names we want, likely 3 players at 15m per year

I really like both players but watching Murry, I think he is a great pickup for PG/SG on both ends that could contribute right now and still have potential to grow/develop

Both. Tourre is more of a 2.

How many guards should we carry, though?

PG Felton that is more of a 2
PG Prigioni that is our only real 1
SG Shumpert that should be a 2
SG Smith that is the "backup" 2
SG Hardaway Jr. that should play some 2

I do think we need a backup PG but also think the rest we need is big men

With only 4 roster spots left and no real backup C on the team where two backup Cs should be recommendable, especially with the talented young big men we have in the summer league roster, I wonder if getting both Brown and Tourre, or any other combination of two guards, is the right way to go.

Classic.

His shooting delivery and his build are kinda simialr to Ty Lawson. His first step probably create enough space to get his J off. But it doesn't look like he was much of shooter during his last stint in the league.
