Knocks I've heard on Felton in the past...

Slow.
Injured.


Unfounded?

I really don't know much about the guy. Don't even recall him impressing me when we faced him.

*shrug*

Anyone got the REAL scoop? (not a homer or hater scoop, an unbiased one)

Don't you think this would be MDa's choice--they probably said chose and this was his guy--what are you going to do? He did play better last year.

Do you have a scoop on the kid?

Or are you just defending him in the face, of well, questions about who he is?

Honestly, he's about the same as Ridnour talent wise. He's younger and a better defender but his J is suspect. He had one decent year shooting the ball and he was playing for a contract at the time. Honestly, I don't see how you can say Felton is your longterm solution at PG.

One thing if Duhon looked good for stretches in our system, Felton should look very good.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

With a better team (Not knocking Al and DLee. With that said, I guess we'll have to see how this works. Hopefully this doesn't eat at our 'Melo money.

Duhon looked good for two months of his first year here.

The rest of the time, what a combined 16 months? He looked like the trash he is.

Come'on now.

Anyone got a LEGIT observation on Raymond Felton?

Are we pissing in the wind now?

Well Felton is Fast and can pass, but the kid can't shoot constantly. What happened to all the talk about "you can't play point guard for MDA unless you can shoot"??? Might as well have signed Sessions for 4million last year.

Sessions 09
12.4 PPG and 5.7 APG, 44%
Felton 10
12.1 PPG and 5.6 APG, 46%

He was consider the best FA pg this year, ahead of blake, ridnour, nate, and who ever..He can still be traded, he's a very solid PG, much better the duhon.

Unless you miss some of the games he played against us, you have got to be kidding me with all the negativity.
He's a pure PG in every sense of the position, he's just not great at any one thing, but has the ability to find the open man and can easily avg 13pg 4rb,& 8ast.

As long as this guy isn't getting $10 million+ a year he is tradeable in the future.

Felton is fast going north to south, so he will help our transition. He is a solid pg, with better passing skills than Douglas, so he is an upgrade there. He also is not afraid to compete in cruch time. But his jumpshot is suspect (not terrible like Duhon, but certainly not automatic). If Duhon is a 4, I would rate Felton as a 6.5. With that being said, I don't like the signing. I would have rathered the Knicks sign Jason Williams to a one year deal and let Douglas run the point. Felton is going to eat up cap space. The only good thing is if the deal is reasonable ($6-7 mil per), we should be able to trade him if it does not work out.

He miss some time last year, and is not one of your better shooting pg's, but considering the fact that, he split minutes with DJ Aug (who is about equal to him in terms of talent) and played around no real talent until last year.

Luke IMO he's not has good as Felton as far as running a team

He turned down 33mm from Charlotte so I would have to guess 40-mm$ over 5 or close to it--thats a chunk of change for this guy.

Wow more of the same from the Knicks. Overpaying for suspect players.

This is very likely the coaches call--saying he needs the PG to make it work and the team probably let him choose after we lost LBJ--thats it. Not a terrible player---a solid guy--it's probably the realistic option.

I agree with this. Felton isn't bad, I watched him during his Carolina days, don't watch any bobcats basketball unfortunately. He used to get a lot of steals.

good synopsis

back to Felton's UNC days, it was thought he didn't achieve his potential because he was playing so much faster than everyone else. It was like he only had one gear and that gear was the sixth gear.

This could be an excellent fit for him. But it certainly is hard to be excited by this move

Like a T Rex.

Just kidding, he's listed at 6'0 with a wingspan of 6'4.25 and a standing reach of 8'2. By comparison, TD is 6'2 with a wingspan of 6'6 and a standing reach of 8'15. Chris Paul is 6'1 with a wingspan 6'4.25 and a standing reach of 7'9. So, he is pretty normal. But if you want long guys, you need to look at someone like Rodrigue Beaubois--listed at 6'2.25 with a wingspan of 6'9.75

Let's say ar, chandler, and douglas is the package for melo do you do it now that we have a pg in place?

Amare
Melo
Gallo
Felton

That's pretty strong. Felton was in the wrong system with brown I think he can really play. Maybe we can package him to get parker you never know. Maximize these kids all good guys and then build a contender
