Knicks and Metta World Peace agree on 2 year deal

I was listening to Nas-Memory Lane when there was a notification on my phone that said Knicks and MWP agreed on a 2 year deal

That's what I call perfect timing

This would have been nice, but anywho....

Hawks have signed Elton brand reportedly 1 year 4 mil.

having him on a two year deal only helps us. We are over the cap anyway next year, and the remote chance of losing him next year is gone now.

That's what I'm talking about. Fantastic signing for the price. He will play a good role for us.

Welcome home, Ron. Now change your name back to Ron Artest.

Just thought I would mention this:

Ron may have actually had a better season last year than did AK47. For all the talk of the Nets getting better with AK, Knicks should be getting similar accolades.

As well Knicks still have a better team on paper than the Nets starting 5 wise. Joe Johnson and Deron Williams have shown to no-show when it matters all career long. Additionally, Pierce and KG are not the Pierce and KG that everyone is remembering. Knicks could have lost last season in the first round, but Pierce missed shot after shot meanwhile KG looked kind of like a zombie from Zombieland. BKN will be great in video games, but their actual team has many ?marks

No we do not have a better starting lineup than they do on paper.

Knicks will be FAR over the cap next year. A second year has NO bearing on their ability to use any cap exceptions or ability to spend, which will be limited to exceptions and league minimums regardless.

What "resources" are you concerned they are wasting?

Identify them specifically, please.

1.7 MMLE over vet min. Yes, it's a small difference. But every little bit counts. This front office has a history of just not having any foresight. Artest/MWP would have signed for the vet min, **** his agent.

Metta when asked about other opportunities available to him:

he gives his reasons etc and then goes on to say:
"then you get to that orange and blue blood...that orange and blue blood (he smiles with pride) you got to come back home"

This is going to be a signing thats going to turn out more beneficial than we imagined...

We are almost legitimately 5 men deep.

C: Tyson Chandler / Bargnani
PF: Amar'e / Martin (?)
SF: Melo / MWP
SG: Shump / JR
PG: Felton / Prigs

some more for you Boomann:

Metta "first I want to take the opportunity to say I appreciate the opportunity to be a soldier for Melo and Amare"

Hey Garnett, pull on Melo's arm again, I dare you! :lol:

on edit: you had to see the smile on his face when he said how excited he was to play with Shump... "this guy reminds me of a defensive player"

I fing love this ****! How much tougher we got will never be acknowledged.

Great interview! I really hope Elton Brand watched the first two minutes of this interview, everything he said there applies to Elton.
