*Felton traded to the Knicks. Knicks not matching Lin?

[Sprewell4Three]

I may be late (still on page 44 of this thread), but Kurt Thomas?? Isn't he 40 yrs old?

Kidd, Camby & Thomas? That's 3 rotation players 38 yrs or old. I'm torn about losing Jeffries. He was a great teammate, a very mobile defensive big for us, and was the only player capable of drawing charges. I have no clue what Thomas still has left in the tank.

And Felton, Camby & Thomas back means 3 former Knicks have rejoined the club. If Felton deal is for 3 year (I don't know, remember I'm still page 44), and Dolan cares about luxury taxes, then it looks like Lin won't be matched.

I'll wait until the 71th hours after NY receives Lin's offer sheet to make my judgement of the Knicks off-season. Tomorrow's VSL game interview should be interesting.

Jeffries stunk his time as a knick. He only had a good stretch of games which was this season besides that he's been hot trash. always injured , no offensive game, overrated defender.

D'Antoni must be going nuts. Less than a year after he leaves: Kidd, Prigoni, Felton, Lin.

OH NOW YOU GET SOME POINT GUARDS?!

DAntoni went into last season with Douglas as the starter

The problem i the knicks payroll is going to be huge in a couple of years. They are going to be subsidizing half of the small market teams at the rate they are going.

I think you all are in denial, why sign felton to a 3mil a year deal unless Lin is gone with the his QO?

SOEMONE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.


Does Felton have a 3 year deal or not.

[kosmovitelli]

Look on the bright side - Felton can go right AND left....

That's true. Look on the bright side. During the first half of the game, Felton can sit on the bench on the right side and after half time, he can switch and sit on the bench on the left side. Felton can go right AND left...

felton at $3 million/year i think could be a real steal. we were paying him $7 million before. that contract could be a nice little asset.

lin is better, but felton would be a top-of-the-line back-up.

[ORANGEandBLUE]

I don't get why this means we're not signing Lin. We got rid of useless Gadzuric, and Jared Jeffries (who I'll miss but isn't a big deal) for a solid guard (Ray Felton) and another big man (although hes almost 40 and probably can't do much).

Why can't we sign Lin because of this? The media is overhyping it. I believe we'll match Lin and have awesome depth. It's a good move regardless.

It doesn't make sense to sign Felton and Lin when we just signed to veteran PG's...

the writing is on the wall

We signed a guy who's never played in the NBA and a guy who can't guard the 1.

A voice of reason

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeckNYT
Kidd is 39. Lin is unproven over full season. Is it unreasonable to think NY would sign Felton as mere insurance, not as Lin replacement?

Does make sense.

[kmav23]

Feltin lost his starting job in Portland ....

yet his good enough to start for the knicks ?

[Sprewell4Three]

kidd is old, he cant handle the PGs, he can stay with the SGs

kidd plays more SG, with JR the 2 backup

lin and felton hold down the PG spot

-that is my read on things
-and if lin indeed leaves, there will be a non money reason involved

I wouldn't be surprised if Kidd starts at SG.

and you need revenue streams to fund that

lin is a revenue stream, why would dolan let that go?

3 yrs 10 mill

According to the summer league reporters, Houston has been trying to get it to the Knicks but Grunwald is hiding from them. Evidently it has now been sent and officially received at Knicks HQ in NY.

I haven't seen the news yet. Please could you post where you saw it. Thank you.

[dreamer3kx]

You guys are joking right, please tell me you're telling jokey jokes, you guys, lol, guys......

[ECity34]

To anyone who honestly thinks Raymond Felton will be in NBA shape come training camp this October...

DJ Augustin over Raymond Felton ALL DAY

It makes sense to match Lin. Now we wait.

Well... maybe cause with everybody in perfectly shape, we'll have something like...

Felton-Kidd-Prigioni
Lin-Shumpert-Diebler
Anthony-Smith-White

That'll suck so bad, everybody there needs the ball, that'll remember me the times of Marbury, Crawford, Francis, QRich and all these suckers.

We need a defensive minded, balanced team.

Right now even if Lin could sign for 0.5m$ and we avoid the taxes and all this, I'd prefer to sign Mo Evans than him.
