He wouldn't be at Dolan's party if he wasn't entertaining the idea to come back.
Felton should know what's up. Nuggets were the ones that pushed for Billups and Felton to be included in the deal.
Masai Ujiri when questioned after the deal actually said that it was the Knicks who asked for Billups to be included.

I'm at Dolans fourth of July party. Felton was there, he said he's on the Knicks. Take it FWIW #Knicks

Center Island, NY, Dolan's 4th of July party. Felton is here. He's a Knick
Zachary Horst @zd183
@jhnywang to be honest, he didn't look like he was in the best of shape. He was in a great mood though
Zachary Horst @zd183
A lot of people asking - Felton was really upbeat and happy. Needs more conditioning, but he's excited.

@Ron_The_Don415 @azaznyk my phone was in the car for the short time he was there. Will have to take my word.

Took a picture of someone else with Felton. They will email me picture within next couple of days, I will RT
Zachary Horst @zd183
@AndrewLiv didn't actually see him. Cant confirm if he was there
Zachary Horst @zd183
@AzazNYK he said he is "gonna" be a Knicks and that is why he was there
Zachary Horst @zd183
@NYKSection310 @azaznyk only thing I can provide is a picture of my friend with Felton in a day or two. Took it on digital camera
That would be awesome if Jimmy Dolas gets Felton to sign because of free food and the prospect of more free food. It probably also means Felton is fat.

Sessions isn't exactly the type of backup veteran PG we need. The point of getting a veteran PG is either because he can start and make a big impact (i.e. Nash) or he can theoretically "mentor" Lin (i.e. Kidd). Sessions doesn't really fall under either category. If he's willing to take the minimum then sure, but otherwise, not really a fit.

snadler wrote:Kidd for many reasons, first he's got a ring, second the knicks need a player that will mentor Lin, willing to play back-up, and has the respect from Melo and Amare, not too mention Felton is wanting more then 3.05, so not likely for Felton. Also, Felton was awful once he left NY..
Tony Dutt, agent for Raymond Felton, told The Post yesterday the ex-Knicks point guard would love to be back playing alongside Amar’e Stoudemire.
That scenario became closer to reality now that the Knicks were spurned by Steve Nash. Knicks brass reluctantly traded Felton — who played with the Trail Blazers last season — to the Nuggets in the Carmelo Anthony blockbuster.
“They’ve shown great interest, but there’s stuff they’ve had to get through,’’ Dutt told the Post.
“He loved playing in New York. Our choice was to never have left New York. There were no hard feelings. Management handled it the best they could. I don’t think they ever misled us and I never felt they wanted him in that trade.’’
The Knicks have the $3.09 million taxpayer mid-level exception to offer Felton, though Dutt said he hoped a sign-and-trade can be done with Portland to get an increased salary.
“I consider them definitely on his high list,’’ Dutt said. “He would love to go back. He loved New York and was playing at an all-star level.’’
