all the moves he's made has involved guys with expiring contracts and limiting free agent contract length other than Amare. he is amassing assets for a future trade and looking forward to this summer to make a run at Melo or Tony Parker.

There's nothing wrong with having reasonable contracts and flexibility. Lack of such is what got us in trouble in the first place. Don't commit long term to guys who aren't worth it. I see nothing wrong with that. It's smart.

i didnt say there was anything wrong with having flexibility, but it all depends on how we use that flexibility. the only thing i don't wanna see is us trading Wilson away just to clear his salary off the cap this summer with limited return all in some hope that Melo is coming to save us this summer. i'm sick of staying in a holding pattern. all these assets we're amassing needs to net us another star to play with Amare, otherwise signing guys like Roger Mason, Shannon Brown or whoever else while taking away minutes from our other guys doesnt make much sense to me.

Mason got a scrub year contract. He is coming off injury and has a chip on his shoulder.

At worst he is MDA dog house fodder!

At best he regains his former stroke and is a nice cheap asset.

Mason brings way more stability to this current team than Morrow would. Morrow needs 25 mpg and the ball in his hands to be effective. Mason can play 15 mins a game, be solid on both ends, not command the ball and bring some leadership. Morrow would be nice if we didn't have Randolph or Chandler, but for the team as currently constructed, this was the perfect signing amongst available options.

I'm not mad at this, look at it this way. Mason is still better than doo-doo, better than rautins. So he's still an upgrade

gotta have cheap fillers i suppose. i would have rather they went after a guy with more upside, to be honest. wish they had stolen rudy instead, but i guess this team isn't gonna worry too much about the off-guard. mason can shoot.

Solid signing, particularly at the price. I'm not super-excited - it's not like he's got upside, but you've gotta fill out your team with some proven NBA quality players who can eat up minutes on the court without making mistakes. You can live with mistakes from Gallo & Chandler and the rest of the young guys when you can get reliable minutes from Amare, Felton, and Mason Jr. I think playing in a very organized system for years of his career will help bring an aura of discipline in terms of simply executing the plays.

He instantly becomes the oldest player on the team. At last check, I think we only had 13 players including the 2 draftees and Timofey...

Mason Jr's #s dropped last year, but understand that the Spurs trade for Roger Mason meant his minutes would be drained - and now with a long term commitment to RJ and the emergence of George Hill, there weren't a heck of a lot of minutes left.

let's see, we have Wilson Chandler, Toney Douglas, Kelenna Azabuike, Bill Walker, Landry Fields, Andy Rautins & now if you add Roger Mason, that makes 7 guys all vying for minutes out of the SG slot... i'll scratch Rautins out of the equation for now, so that makes 6 players for 1 position... Douglas can get some minutes backing up Felton at the 1, but he's not going to only play 10 mpg, so a good amount of his time will come at the 2G as well... Wilson will split time at the 2 & 3, but most of his time will come at the 2 (i'd say at least 20-25 mpg)... then you have Buikkake, Walker & Fields who will also be looking for run at the SG while Gallo & AR are playing the 3... so unless we're about to make a trade, what's the point? Mason isn't an upgrade over any of those guys with the possible exception of Walker or Buike, but even then i'd rather see Walker getting minutes over Mason... so are Buike & Mason only here to fill out the roster?

i don't see chandler as a viable option at the '2'. he's a big guy. fast for a forward but will get eaten up by most twos. unless the knicks have another guy to guard hinrich, carter, salmons, allen, jj, etc. it would be tough to play chandler and give him starters minutes.
with the depth at forward, i'd say chandler's pretty expendable unless the knicks want to keep him around to guard small forwards. the knicks other forwards will have problems guarding threes, but the offense they bring probably outweighs that negative.
sorry, i'm rambling...but have got the knicks on my mind...

what i was trying to say was, i don't see chandler as part of the two guard mix in an ideal situation. i think the knicks also see this and will try to fill out the backcourt with 'buike, mason, and, maybe one of the second rounders. douglas and felton will handle the point. my two cents obviously...

This is so wrong I dont know where to begin.
