Yeah I don't see why we'd want a young guy that may not offer much more than having TD play. Ridnour would seem to be a perfect guy to fill in for Felton. Steady hand, smart, shoots and passes well. Just a guy you can trust and feel 100% comfortable with. I can't say that i'd feel 100% comfortable with Telfair.

Ridnour just signed a new deal, so getting him hurts the cap situation. We should stick with guys on expiring contracts or a guy we can sign to a one year deal. Brevin Knight or Rafer Alston would be my top choices.

Brevin Knight is retired and Alston is garbage both in the locker room and on the court.

like i said before, if we're in on Ridnour i think it's only after we get Melo's situation figured out... i would have no problem w/Brevin Knight either as a cheap filler option.

telfair has a lot of upside, he's a real deal brooklyn baller, who i think would soak up everything he see's felton doing. marketing, his roots are a win for the knicks considering who is moving into bk soon.

If that's your only reason then that's not very good. No need worrying about a player who is no longer in the NBA and has nothing to do with either team involved in a potential trade.

plus has zero influence on teflair. if anything teflair would love to be the one marbury knicks fans cheer.

No thanks.

bad tree? if anything all steph did was have a fight with coach and lost. steph played like a tank, never worried about him catching some injury. he just was not the franchise player we all hoped.

honestly of all the past players the one i dislike most, allan houston (he was never a franchise player either). ny wasted way too much time and money on h20.. end of rant.

All Steph did was have a fight with a coach and lost? That's a terrible and unfortunate oversimplification. What lies beneath all these little stunts that appear on the surface is a troubled and damaged brain, a sick, a dangerously ill mind that is a threat to everyone around him. The wiring in his brain is all wrong and that's really the root of the problem, that's what leads to all the weird head tattoos, fights, and all that jazz and rhythm.

Plus he was always a bum teammate. Putting up dope fresh numbers doesn't mean you're a good basketball player. Talented, yes, but hoops is a team game. He never understood that.

Telfair might not be deranged. We don't know. But coming off that tree, I'm not willing to take a risk.

Marbury may have had some sort of social disorder. Remember his teammates told strange stories about him(i.e. Tim Thomas saying he gave him an ipod loaded with music when he was traded but never talked with him when he was on the team). Minimally he had a very malformed ego. I don't think you judge Telfair based on problems Marbury had.

remember when he put alone on his sneaker when he was a net? a franchise player is a communicator, he just wasnt. solid baller yes, big heart too, but not a captain.

Holy Crap. Did I read this right? You standing up for Dinglebury and dissing a Knick that has produced for the franchise? You blaming Houston for signing a contract offered to him by management?

houston produced exactly the amount that steph produced for the franchise, zero rings. allan houston was gifted a franchise player sum of $100 million six-year contract extension and all the knicks got for years was prayer circles and blown knees.
