We never should've waived him. He was a class act and one of the best players we had at the time. I wish him well in his future endeavors.

He was a winner and the Knicks mistreated him, a damn shame.
Rose is not the answer.

He was mad we traded for him. He was mad at us for waiving him. He's mad at us...if he gets a gm job with Denver we can forget making any trades with them lol.

not really. he never wanted to be here. Now I didnt like we used the amnesty clause on him because we could have used it on amare instead

I wasn't really a fan of his (as a Knick- thought he was great as a Piston)- he did't really want to be here in the first place (can't blame him, I thought it was dirty of the Nuggets to trade him when he was so happy to be a Nugget and had played well for them- they replaced him with Felton!). To be honest I found that post-trade Knick team hard to watch for the rest of the season, then he got injured in the playoffs. So I have no fond Knick memories of him.

Terrible point guard for us. Chauncey the chucker.

I'm definitely not a fan.

Mistreated? We opted in and paid him $14 million right before waiving him - he gets no sympathy.

Hated the Billups. How did we mistreat this guy? He mistreated us by playing so poorly. He got paid a ton, and then got the opportunity to get paid and go to whatever team he wanted. I wish we had made the trade work without inlcluding Billups and Felton. Felton was playing a great PG that season in the D'Antoni system. He was having by far a career year. I think that really changed the trajectory of that season. It was very hard to integrate Billups and Melo on the team.

^im glad you specified Felton was playing well IN DANTONI's SYSTEM, like Duhon was. People including Knicks management made the mistake of thinking Felton was actually a good starting PG. Eventhough we saw in Denver & Portland that he wasn't and was a fat bum

Billups was smart and hit big shots for us. Was great from 3. Problem was he suddenly broke down physically. The only other knick pgs in he past 15yrs with high IQ were Kidd & Lin. Billups Melo and Amare would've gelled with time. Instead we needed Jeremy Lin to save us from To Ry Douglas and missing the playoffs

Chancey shot .328 from 3% and .408 from the field as a Knick. Dreadful

I stand corrected but he was also injured half the time. You can definitely criticize the Knicks for adding another over he hill former star. He looked good for the clippers but went down early there as well. He hit some big shots for the Knicks

He played 21 games for us.
The re-up was likely promised BEFORE the trade.
To amnesty hiim got us Tyson who many of you were very excited and touted "Grunny Exec of the year!!!"
In hindsight some of you wanted Amare amnestied. In Highsight we are all so very very smart, aren't we.
We neither mistreated him nor treated him well. LIke I said, I would imagine Denver was going to reupp him and to trade him and not would not have been cool on Denvers part.

Chauncey does most of his damage from the FT line.

Good point. Forget his short injury riddled stint with the Knicks and look at his career efficiency numbers. The guys was a very good player

by the time he came to the knicks, he was a shell, and then he tore his ACL less than 2 wks into the following season, yet ppl were questioning the move to drop him for tyson

I remember him as having a highly inflated opinion of himself, and didn't live up to his hype. Then, when he was re-signed, instead of being let go for the 3 million dollar option, he implied that the Knicks did him wrong. All the while he was counting the big bucks he took down after being amnestied.
