Some of you are saying he's too crazy. If he flies off the handle, you release him. This is not a young team that can suffer damage from a season's worth of Delonte. It's a veteran team that would only have to put up with him for at most a few weeks. Less if he goes AWOL.
Distraction? Nah not really.
You are talking as if Felton/JR/Prigs will get us where we need to go, so don't mess up a good thing.
Let's be real -- the Knicks are not going to beat Miami as presently constituted. There is a much better chance of us falling into the 5th seed than there is of the Knicks beating Miami on the current trajectory. Falling out of 2nd is more likely than not at this point, since we're in semi-free fall at the moment.
There really is no downside. He's the best and most experienced point guard available and he's also a swing man who can play off the ball.
I think we lose something as fans when the team becomes less likeable. Unless the guy is going to be a difference-maker, I'd like to avoid bringing in more douchebags.
