I'm not thirlled with this signing. I hope their eye test is correct.

Figured this would happen. Hope he can find his game cuz he has a ton of untapped talent.

im not thrilled with paying $5 mill to a player who isnt that good. i dont mind the addition but spare some cash to sign others.
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Brandon Bass is so much better. I dont see it in Williams. Phil whiffed in free agency.

Use that 2 million left over to get Alexey Shved or KJ Mcdaniels.

This move is kinda surprising, but fits the youth movement we obviously have going on. now offset this salary by trading Calderon for an S&t'ed Koufus please.

Looks like he has a lot of talent on offense

Been on bad teams

How is he on defense?

With all this youth, it would be best to get some veterans.
Luis Scola and Kendrick Perkins anyone?

Bass is 30 and will want more money. Derrick is 24 with more upside.

Dont know about this one. Career underachiever. At least its another 2 year deal.

Bass is a proven two way player. We are not in a position to be taking these kind of chances imo

Thought we can get him cheaper but it makes sense as he can play 4-3 perhaps coming on as well I think fans will like him he does play hard.

Nice. Kudos to Broussard for breaking a story. Williams was such a good college player. Hopefully he puts things together in NY.

I like it. I know he hasn't even come close to living up to being the #2 pick but I know he was coming on towards the end of the year last year cause I was using him in a lot of my fanduel lineups.

Not a good signing. So far the afflalo deal has been the best because its very reasonable. I like lopez but we overpaid. Williams has kind of been a bust
