I thought he was still in the league, he's pretty athletic and tall, 6 9" sg, not much more to say.

really? where did you hear that? I loved this kid before his accident. If he can still play this would be an AWESOME pickup for us. Good player... good kid.

Damn. Another obstacle for FW. It just gets better and better...

Can the guy still dunk?

I like this...a step in the right direction bringing in some athletic players. Houston was placed on the IL too.

Don't we have enough swing-men already? Anyway, if he still has some athleticism I guess it's worth a shot. Does anyone know if we can place him on IR once his contract is over?

Maybe Shandon is soon to be gone.

I love the gamble. He's playing really well and was a hig draft pick with tons of potential. Great gamble! Penny can start and Johnson can come off the bench.

Maybe is a bit of an under statement.

Before you go claping like a seal, this guy has the wores defense you can think of, and he is turnover prone.

Most player's defense is poor in comparision to Shandon's.

he's also very young and being out of the NBA can change player's philosophies.

This totally smells of another Isiah move. I wonder what Shandon/Kurt/Frank can bring back?

I think this is a great move, especially in comparison to what the daily news was saying today about us trying to get Vin Baker. That would have been a horrible move.

yeah I read that and got so scared til I realized it was Frank Isola who wrote it.

signing Johnson was a great gamble. He did pretty good in preseason.

What's wrong with headbands? LOL
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Demarr Johnson is listed as 6'9 and 201 lbs. That sounds pretty athletic to me and make it a good pick up. Isiah may be cooking up something for a trade. I am left in suspense until the trade deadline.
Knicks are happening and have a Unicorn.

this is the one that got injured. he was ready to break out for atl. I like it if he brings atleast 90% of what he brought to atl. pre-injury. 10-day is pretty good for the knicks and for him, we just might get what we are looking for in terms of running with marb.
let see what happens.

I didn't see Shandon play too great of a defense against Joe Johnson with Phoenix--I guess Johnson should have had 50 with anyone else guarding him. And whats with that sour expression on Anderson all the time?
Briggs-- Frank is 2 yrs away from being 2 years away
