I like it. Sounds like he's coming in with something to prove. Could be just what this team needs to wake the fck up.


Haven't we had enough of "sounds like..." lately? We'll see if he can contribute anything.

I'm irrationally optimistic about all of this. Think he could be a game changer.

Kenyon was asked if he could still be a "warrior." He put a reporter's hand over his heart and said, "That ain't going nowhere, trust me.

Against my better judgment I'm excited that Kenyon is a Knick.

That's the life of a Knick fan -- getting sucked in when you know better.

I do think he has plenty left and we will definitely benefit from an athletic shotblocker / finisher with attitude and experience.

Call Delonte next, why not.

I like the signing and believe it should've happened months ago. It's no risk/high reward. Not only is he a great insurance policy but he brings an intangible toughness that nobody else on the team brings. By all accounts he's been spending the year working out and waiting for a phone call so he should be in better shape than Rasheed was at the start of the year. I just don't like him wearing John Starks's number!

He's not talentless but he's not that good.

Unfortunately, signing West would mean we've got both of them on the roster. :sour:

Not a good enough player to accept the embarrassment of having him on the team. Kidd/Smith/Martin/Anthony are bad enough. Anthony is the only one of those 4 who is good enough to overlook character for.

Delonte is an okay shooter and a smooth operator. Understands how to run point, makes smart plays. Can run any play well and keeps defenses off balance with his awkward lefty delivery.

I think he's an upgrade over Felton just in terms of smarts and skills.
