Did he? Hmm. What did the Knicks have left to offer? If Kahn really wanted Brewer I can't imagine the Knicks offer couldn't have been beat.

Don't know what the offer was but Kahn definitely made an offer.

He signed for the Vet minimum, he must really want to play for the Knicks for some reason, maybe he loves Broadway?

Stiemsma averaged 3 and 3 last year and 1.5 and 2.2 in the playoffs.

Cunningham averaged about 5 and 4 last year.

Shved has never played in the NBA.

Johnson and Williams haven't shown to be average NBA players yet.

Whoever is our back up PG, be it Ridnour or Barea, is actually our strongest bench player at the moment IMO.

well **** now that seems a lot worse. hopefully everyone plays better.

Scoring points is not what we need as a primary skill from our role players. We need consistent play, tough defense, energy, and the ability to perform when called upon.

Stiemsma will be a far better option than Darko was last year. Cunningham is the type of reserve big man that coaches love. Johnson has gotten far more negative posts on here than he deserves, and he should be better suited for his role off the bench this year.
