Knicks close to signing pg Raymond Felton to multi-year deal, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

———–

Good signing? Bad signing? Better option than Farmar/Ridnour?

[OldSkoolBasketballParticipant]

does that mean no tony parker 2011?

[sammybuckeye13Participant]

Brilliant. He helps fill out their lineup at the most important position on the floor, he’s a great distributor, and at 25 still has potential.

[MagikKnickParticipant]

Hopefully, it means Felton will be a hell of a backup in 2011

I guess it was expected, no way we started our season with Douglas or Rautins at our point, we needed someBODY

But my initial reaction after hearing MULTI-YEAR deal:

R. Felton is the best PG in this years FA market… the Knicks, who desperately need a PG, are getting a guy who has developed into a very mature leader and player in Charlotte. I believe at 26 he is going to take his game to another level and hopefully it will be this year with the Knicks.

Who needs LeBron?

King Felton.

I am cool with getting Raymond Felton. My only problem is I hope D’antoni doesn’t wear him out, and he has to lose weight. Magikknick I love your style, great episode as well. I think the Knicks with this roster can make the postseason.

[Russell0WestbrookParticipant]

Ridnior would be a better pick up cuz he fits their style plus hes cheaper a better shooter and passer.

[ScareCrowsRevengeParticipant]

He can run the show IMO…He a Solid Top 20 Pg…A good starter…And even better I already had on the Knicks on the NBA2K10…Their line To my Knowledge

Felton-Chandler-Randolph-Amare-Turiaf-Gallo-Walker-Douglas-Azibuke-Jordan -Cancer I’m mean Curry
Rautins and Fields??? Do they even make the squad???

If NY gets Felton I’ll gain alot of respect for them…They are starting to look like a Team…Not Top 4 By any Means…But they are battling for a playoff seed This Year…

[MagikKnickParticipant]

Can someone print screen that? ScareCrow talked somewhat positive about the Knicks!

[Malik-UniversalParticipant]

im on it!!!!! magicknik

[juves4783Participant]

this totally makes up for not signing lebron.

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

You add Raymond Felton- Top 6 team in the East IMO.

I’m loving this so far. The Knicks are actually making moves!!!

Edit: Eh…Forget that top comment.

[ScareCrowsRevengeParticipant]

I had to give the NY faithful some reality about LBJ( Lousy Blow Jobs)…You guys where flying off the handle…Now AR15 ( please give him the # 15 NY ) Is a big potential Sf/Pf in the Mold of Lamar and Bosh…That Amare, Felton, Chandler and Gallo in his rightful place as the 6th man…I think the Knicks are on their way to a showdown with The super Team In the Playoffs…The 1 vs 8th seed matchup…Going head to head with Bastard himself…If you check the facts…Read “Free Agents” and read some of the previous post I’ve made I always leaned on Lebron going to NY in some way or another…He became a villain In a lot of Cities Last Night…There’s a lot of people wishing he got thrown out the window of his High Rise apartment…

[Russell0WestbrookParticipant]

Is this the same Felton that got dominated by Nelson in the playoffs?

[joecheck88Participant]

ya knicksboy, u realized miami, orlando, boston, atlanta, chicago, and milwaukee are all as good or better than last year and that the atlantic divison took the top 3 picks oin the draft. ya, they arent top 6 but they are maybe a playoff team. ill take them over washington, philly, nj, detroit, and cleveland. that leaves ny and charlotte as 7 and 8 seeds. am i missing a few teams?

[NYCrealdealParticipant]

and knocking heat out 1st round how sweet would that be?

[billykParticipant]

1. Heat
2. Magic
3. Bulls
4. Hawks
5. Celtics
6. Bucks
7. Bobcats
8. Knicks

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

As of right now!

Heat
Magic
Hawks
Bulls
Bucks
Celtics
Knicks
76ers

Don’t forget…Boston is another year older and will rest more ppl.

[OhCanada-Participant]

Yes Russell that would be the same Raymond Felton that Jameer Nelson dominated with much higher shooting percentages, scoring twice as many points and completing 5 times as many steals with rebounding and assists the same in Orlando’s sweep over Charlotte. Im not saying…Im just saying.

Felton
12PPG
2.5RPG
5APG
0.5SPG
40%FG
30%3PT

Nelson
24PPG
2.5RPG
5APG
2.5SPG
48%FG
43%3PT

Good pickup for New York…

[shipargosParticipant]

He can put 10 assists in NYK system, and he is much better defender than Ridnour.
Charlottes ultra slow tempo has hurt his numbers..

[joecheck88Participant]

i agree that boston will probably rest most of the year for the playoffs just like san antonio who seem to hang around even though age should have flattened them a few years ago, they just keep comin.

[JNixonParticipant]

They should’ve just developed Toney Douglas. Raymond Felton isn’t a better fit in their system than Ridnour is. Felton is limited by his lack of size on both ends, isn’t a very good shooter, and isn’t a great playmaker. Felton will not be the answer at PG for the Knicks. Mark my words.

[bkballerParticipant]

Felton/TD
Buke/Walker
Gallo/Chandler
Randolph/Turiaf
Amare/Curry/Jordan

enough for a max summer 2011
SOLID

[knicksfreakParticipant]

I’m kinda disappointed that we did choose Ridnour instead. He Is a much better distributor and shooter than Felton. Felton is undersized and not very athletic. I think Douglas has a higher ceiling. We are overpaying big time for Felton.
