You're one of those people that wouldn't be happy no matter what we did. You'll find the bad in whatever move we make. We got a starting SG that plays both ends of the court for 8 million a year with just a two year contract with a player option on the 2nd. That's a good contract on a good player so be at least a little happy.

uh ... uh-kay.

I am happy regardless of what the knicks do.

I look at every player with an open mind.

Btw, I loved the draft so go home.

Brian Shaw. And it was the last 2yrs not 3. 3yrs ago he averaged 18pts on 46% FG AND 43% 3pt FG. He was the best player on that Denver team even when Gallo was healthy

his career WS48 is .087. That is not good at all.

His assist numbers are probably the culprit.

He doesn't need assists here. He just needs to move them ball. Same way he did under George Karl. Clyde and Billups weren't big assist guys. He was Denver's go to guy after Melo left. Now he just needs to move the ball and hit his fair share of wide open shots hopefully from the PG as well as Melo, Monroe & KP

He is better than JR but You can stomach JR when he is your 3 or 4th option not 1st or 2nd

Afflalo plays defense so i can't compare him to JR.

The overall reaction from the usually negative media has been positive. Honest opinion rather than taking pot shots at Phil and the Knicks is a breath of fresh air. The funny thing is all the late articles still talking about the Knicks possibly being shut out.

The Grizzlies got the best bargain by far yesterday with Wright for 3 yrs, 18 mil - very solid player locked into a cheap contract for 3 years.

So he is Allan Houston? Honest question. Haven't really seen him play much.

No he's nothing like A.Houston.

He is more mobile than H20. H20's FG% dropped when he became the go to guy.

As a matter of fact Affalo is a better shooter than H20 if you look at their career FG%
Affalo 46%
H20 42%

H20 was better from 3
H20 42%
Affalo 39% which is still very good

Amazing signing by Uncle Phil.
For those still Knocking Affalo and wishing we had Green & Matthews...good thing you aren't making these critical decisions. But I get it. That's what fans do. They never make the time to look at the whole picture. Of course it gets worse outside of this forum with Knick fans. Just listen to the people killing KP and every move on the radio

.087 is a little below average. Assists may be part of it but his turnovers are low too. So I'm not sure. Per 36 min, he averages 2.5 assists and 1.6 turnovers. His steals are like record-breaking low for an SG (0.6 per 36 min) and his blocks (0.3 per 36) are a bit lower than I'd like.

Low assists totals because George Karl & Phil's systems are built on the guards moving them ball and not pounding the ball and racking up assists. That's Marbury stuff

Exactly. He is much better. Tired of hearing how athletic Smith is based off a few hot shooting streaks amid his generally crappy play. Knew he would screw the Cavs. This is a major upgrade from Smith, Hardaway and Shumpert and at a great price. Jackson is looking smarter day by day. I give this sign a big A.

The fact he can defend is a huge bonus. There is nothing not to like about this signing. At $8mil it is a steal with HUGE upside and very low risk

definitely not a terrible signing but you are a bit too giddy. Its like he is your new shumpert.
