I'd maintain the flexibility to add Tony Parker in 2011... but we need somebody to lead a young team next season and Felton is a good bet.

Too much money cryz---I like Livingston for maybe 1/3 of his price with a Lowry(both guys togther will be 1/2 of what Felton gets)--we have Douglas Rautins--dont spend big $$$ UNLESS we get a Chris Paul Tony Parker type--we aheva lot of good players---this team is going to be good aheva great feeling about it. We did not lose tonight--we won

So you are sticking with Livingston? What about Javaris Crittendon... he could come cheap

If for nothing else, his motivational qualities.....

He's slow and a poor shooter. Not a good fit for this system. Sign Ridnour.

Ridnour isnt a playmaker though. He is a good shooter. We need a guy who can make plays for everyone else.

Ridnour is a passer and pick-n-roll guy, not very much like Jason Kidd. But that's what the knicks need.

I saw Ridnour all year long. Trust me. If he is our starting PG people are going to hate him. The guy is an ideal backup PG. We need a starting caliber PG. There is a reason he was Jennings backup all year.

Milwaukee wanted to pay him MLE money and he didnt want that so I say screw him.

In typical fashion a guy has a good year and the Knicks are ready to pay him. The guy has been lackluster his entire career as a starter. He excelled this year as Jennings BACKUP. That tells you alot right there.

Ridnour is similar but better version Duhon. His shot hasn't been as consistently good as one would expect. But I think he could flourish in this system as Duhon did at times before he wore down.

You need a smart player out there who can stick a jumper when needed and run that pick and roll. None of the PG's that are available are great shooters IMO.

If Collison is available, obviously you have to go there. I'm assuming he's not.

Yeah, you are probably right. Do you think that Turiaf for Peja and Collison might tempt NO?

I think Peja and Collison for a second round pick would tempt New Orleans

Felton and Ridnour are probably about the same, to be honest with you. Ridnour is better three point shooter and turns the ball over less, which probably translated better to the 's offense. Felton is physically tougher and is better defender, which are traits we already have with Toney Douglas. I gotta say I'm intrigued by Livingston and would rather roll the dice with him, but that's only because I'm desperate at this point.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

The Knicks aren't going to sign a point guard for more than one year . Tony Parker is coming here either via free agency next summer or a trade this season. Donnie is gonna save our money revenge is coming my friends soon be patient.
No layups!

I'd try to sign Livingston for cheap considering his shaky knee. We need a playmaker to feed Randolph, Gallo, Chandler, and Amare.

isnt felton a playmaker?

I would roll the dice on Livingston for one year but not Famar the dude is talking about more money and a bigger role and I think he will be exposed not playing with Kobe and company.
