1) He's 32 years old.

2) He is a poor defender ( I think I just insulted poor defenders around the world by adding Mo Williams to their ranks)

3) He is more of a combo guard than a pure PG, and giving him minutes stunts the development of the ONE young Knick who has shown some actual long term future potential on the team ( Langston Galloway)

Can Mo Williams help *A" NBA team? Absolutely.

Can he help the current and future Knicks in terms of rebuilding this franchise? No.

I say it again and again, some folks are always looking for the magical quick fix, the half year or one year or two year shot in the dark turnaround when the Knicks are going to likely have to grind it out and sacrifice for the 5-7 years that most other contenders right now had to pay in terms of dues, to get to a better place.

Time to say no to aging veterans and paying them into their decline phase.

+1

Great analysis.

The right course would be to think about team. You sign mo williams to be the back up. If galloway loses minutes to him that's on galloway. We're not playing cyo basketball. We're not trying to teach 11 year Olds that is ok to lose and still give then a trophy. This is a pro game. If a man comes along and intimidates another man enough to take his spot away then that man is a bitch and deserves it. Regardless it makes the team better.

Again we are not in the business of trying to make galloway sleep well at night. We're trying to win a championship. We need to get better not run a group home

Because KJ didn't sign the Hinkie special deal. He day one wanted to play for other team.

We cant pay other PGs what they want(and some are either not worth it or cant shoot)--but Mo should be available for a reasonable sum. We can try to find an additional big PG in either the bottom half of rd 1 or even into rd 2 if we can acquire an additional pick and keep Shevyd on the roster but we need a pro PG. We need a professional QB. If we want to get better--we need a pro PG in this nBA triangle this or not.

I'm not opposed to Mo at all, but its interesting that you like him a lot but hate Calderon. Really the way you described him can easily describe Calderon, although Calderon is overpriced of course. But there isn't a whole lot of difference between these 2 players, although obviously you are going to disagree with me. Just not sure how much of an upgrade eating Calderon's contract and replacing with Mo helps the team

Jose c and mo Williams are not even closely related. After Charlotte's 6 the win in 8 games their coach said even when kemba comes back mo will remain the starter. The month of February mo Williams could be considered player of the month. You see how playing with a post who demands huge attention does for other players? That's why it's so important that we get either towns or ok4 . We really need some punch. You start adding guys like Williams Stuckey Carroll these guys are great complimentary players to star players. When we step back and look at what we are we are a team full of immense holes. We need to move our cash around and find players who play above their contracts. We can't pay above 7 mm for anyone not named lebron gasol or Aldridge. If you can tell me why we shouldn't do this explain it to me w the players u might want and their cost.
