Face it....the knicks are broke unless they trade Chandler to try and get talent, the knicks are stuck trying to each out to guys to take less. Vet minimum us what Telflair is and he's a good value at that rate.

Telflair wants to write a guys end to his story and he knows what it would be to do it in ny,. Legacy.....

If we are left with this guy i day let's welcome him.

Agree +1

Aaron Brooks. Really think about this guy and what he can do before dismissing him...When this guy's right, he's one hell of a penetrator, capable of taking ANY PG in this league off the dribble at will and he can really fill it up from deep. Real potent offensive player. And while he ain't Magic Johnson, I think there more than enough PG skills here to keep his fellow teammates happy and well feed...Talking about a guy that can go for 20 ppg in a season (only a couple of seasons removed from that kind of of production in Houston); 35 points on any given night. It's debatable whether or not he's a better player than Felton -- but what he would be is one hell of a sidekick...This dude would come in with the 2nd unit ready to dominate another team's 2nd string PG. If we can afford him on the limited amount we have left to spend (like I indicated on another thread, I have no idea what his price is -- vet minimum? $3m? No idea..), I don't think we could do much better considering the firepower he'd bring.

I agree -- one of these 3: Collison, Brooks or Harris (I have them in that order), would be great. I feel like we have enough money left to make a serious run at one of these guys...Each guy fulfills the need for a quicker/uptempo DANGEROUS PG to pair with Felton (where Pablo's relegated to 3rd PG on the depth chart where he belongs -- when Felton needs a blow or God forbid gets hurt like he did last year, I want another guy in there that will maintain the same level of speed and penetration. Can you imagine if Ray goes out and Pablo has to play 35-40 mins/night trying to hold the fort down? Forget it..it would burn that poor dude right out like it did to J-Kidd!! Plus we automatically go into games at a severe disadvantage where Prigioni lacks that all-important dimension). Collison may be out of our price range -- but FIND OUT!! Reach out to the man. If not, turn to Aaron Brooks -- offer the most possible and guarantee him 20-25 mins backing up/playing with Felton...and sell the team as a good team that has a shot to win it all (Collison get the same pitch before I talk to Brooks)...Harris would be good too but he's just coming off big money and he's still in pretty much his prime (may not be ready to transition over to vet minimum money yet) and besides, I think he's lost a little since peaking with the Nets...Another guy though -- CALL UP AND FIND OUT!!!

ACT NOW before these guys go off the board and we have to settle on a guy like Tony Taylor Jr.
