this is a colossal upgrade from elfrid payton and we have arguably the best backup PG in the NBA with Rose who should have won 6moy. This is the most stacked we've been at PG in the history of the franchise probably


Went from payton and unreliable Bullock (who couldn't create) to Kemba & Fournier. Not to mention a solid draft... But Rose and WWW don't have a plan they said

Can’t wait for our death lineup to close games:

Noel/Gibson
Randle
Burks
Kemba
Rose

I like it, we got decent talent at the PG spot with Rose and Kemba, along with Fournier, not what they were but talented still.. and if an injury bug hits (it will) IQ, Duece, Grimes, and Luka all can get some burn..



Not to mention we got picks still, and Stash Rokas, good balance of trying to win games with an eye towards the future..

Deeeez - I really think this one goes back to the George Hill trade last year where we took on their BS. We've been a good working partner with the Thunder.


Yea, thats what it seems like. A little good will and relations. Work those back channels.

Its a baf like move where you throw some compensation and have somebody buy a player out


Oh y’all be doing that on the low huh? , do tell more so I can file tampering charges :lol:

Y'all don't remember Wall and Draymond hitting waivers last year? It was pretty out in the open.

This is my issue with open bidding.

I think it’s awful how we traded all those assets for him and paid him such a huge contract! Typical Knicks!!!!!


I don't care either way. Anything is better than Payton, but people are shooting their loads like we're getting anything resembling Kemba Walkers prime.

He has chronic arthritis. Not a sore knee. He doesn't "keep getting hurt", he has no cartilage in his left knee.

Deluded sheep in here losing their minds and people from other boards are just laughing at our clowning over a guys swan song for a couple years at home. This is MSG ticket revenue material and nothing more. I feel bad for Kemba because he's a great teammate and a competitor but his knee just betrayed him, 4 surgeries on his left knee years of steroidal injections and now he's been trying stem cells to eek out another couple years.

If he could play he wouldn't be a Knick right now, he'd be on the 76ers or some competitive team. Nice story that he gets to play a few games at home, can't wait for the coming home redux.


Dude what's the downside here? He averaged 19/5 on 36% 3pt last year when he was at his worst. That's only like 5 points and 1 assist less than his best prime year. So even at his worst he's one of the best PG in the league and the best we've had in decades. Not to mention the effect he'll have on the team and influence on our youngsters.

We also are paying him buyout pickup money, which is peanuts. And still kept all of our draft capital and talent.

Considering modern medicine and the rest he's getting, I'm optimistic about his health. Chris Paul bounced back from worse and he's a lot older. There's really no risk here, don't be a karen

We put ourselves in an opportunity to get this and we took it. If it wasn't for last year he wasn't coming here

This is my issue with open bidding.

I mean I don’t really see any proof of that. Plus if it really happened, private bidding does not stop it. With open bidding we will at least know who is doing what.

Exactly. Between him and Rose they can combine for full minutes. I am beyond thrilled with this move.
