If you didn't learn from LeBron situation you should never say someone is coming until they are signed sealed and delivered.

3yr/21mm is an extremely good deal. to compare.. we gave duhon 2yr/12mm and and felton is 10000000000000000X the player duhon is.

felton/chandler/gallo/AR/amare with turiaf, buke, td, walker off the bench is really nice. very young but with that comes a ton of athleticism, good shooters, good defenders.. i really like this team.. i think this team vies for the 5 or 6 seed. and if we are lucky enough to get melo a year from now forget it..

Just the fact that Felton pushes the ball and can play transition offense makes him 10000000000000x better than Duhon. Seriously, it was so hard to watch games last season and see Duhon walk the ball up every possession.

Also, Duhon got 4 yrs/$20M. I would consider 3 yrs/$21M for Felton a bargain compared to that.

well i meant when we signed duhon.. we signed him to a 2yr/12mm deal. but i agree with the rest of your post

he gave up a second rounder for amare!

Huh? He PICKED UP a second rounder, if I am not mistaken.

I say A- for Donnie this off-season. We didn't get our guy, but it was clearly never going to happen. The three amigos has this shyte worked out well in advance. The rest was smoke and mirrors. Pat is a wily sonofabitch, got to hand that to him. Donnie made excellent deals and set us up for a solid foundation when we can find a stud to come in and tandem down with Amare. Melo in 11!

Felton for 3yrs/$21mil is ideal for us, best available playmaker at a reasonable contract. We were not going to get Parker, Collison, or CP3 this year. No Way. And we can't sign our superstar until next year. I think (unlike Queen James) Melo really wants to be in NY. And clearly for NBA players that's an important point. A lot of guys can't handle fans like us or the intense spotlight the media imposes. Lebron, it turns out, is one of those need-to-be-loved softies who would never fit in well here. Go figure. I never had him pegged that way.

Does this mean no Barron?

Thats if you draft right and much like any other draft its 50/50 a guy in 1st round being good or bad player...

In this case you have a PG that is born to play fast, has a winning college pedigree and is a natural pass 1st PG!!!! I Repeat! NATURAL PASS 1st PG!!! This was a key pickup and if our young studs can continue to improve this could be a surprise darkhorse in the East. Donnie has put together our most balanced team in a DECADE!!!

Styles of play does matter...that's why kahn is such a retard for drafting and signing all those PG's to play the Triangle offense in minnesota...

I read a poster say Felton sucks in the half court. Yeah he sucks trying to dump it down to OK4 and...well nobody else. Larry Brown made the playoffs going slow with a team built to run. D'antoni runs pick and rolls all day. The Knicks half court set is going to play to Felton's strength and that is creating offense with the pass or drive. Match made in heaven...I wouldn't be suprised if the dude has a career year where his name is mentioned with some of the best in the league.

Very excited about this season. Knicks got seriously better...but we gotta play the games.

well the big difference with this year than others is that we resemble a well put together team thats balanced which is something we havent had in such a long time. NOW i believe we can make the playoffs and the funny thing is that about 30 hours ago i thought we weren't. great moves by donnie in the span of 24 hours. f@#$ lebron! we are coming for your neck next year.

I think mister Mustachio is desperate..................

Either way, a win
