Not thrilled they gave up Mosgoz, but the Knicks aren't done.

Azubuike, because of his insurance-paid contract, is an asset.

Mason Jr. can be released to free up another roster spot.

Knicks now look dangerous in the play-offs and NY will be a consider for the raft of player that will likely be bought out after the deadline.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Hamilton wind up here.

Knicks bench WILL be different, and I suspect better, in a week's time.

Our bench looks uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly. Not ONE guy who you look at and say..damn that guy should be starting on another team.

Well the last week we had One very Questionable Starter in Mosgov and what one Decent Benchplayer in Chandler who by the way was really a starter with his minutes.

I honestly don't think Williams/Walker is significantly worse than Chandler/Gallo. Probably meaningful in five years. But today? nah, don't think the drop off is that significant

I also have read this somewhere before...Rip might slide nicely into a SG spot for a playoff run.

I hope that isn't the plan. He's done and the Knicks won't be able to try and sign a top PG when they become available

I mean if Detroit buys him out. KNicks won't be paying him anything more than the prorated minimum and not commitment beyond this year.

That's all of it.

He get a guaranteed extra $10m+ next year. Chauncey Billups is plenty happy this evening.

That's not true. Billups contract for next year is a 13 million team option. Highly doubtful the Knicks pick that up.
Billups expressed his desire to remain in Denver (his hometown), and after retiring to work in the Nuggets front office.
Chauncey Billups is plenty pissed this evening.

His only possible revenge a playoff series reminiscent of IT himself?
