Lin certainly didn't do the Knicks any favors....

No he isnt. Looking at the construction of this team we dont need a superstar PG. We need a decent PG who can defend and make a few plays. Felton fits the bill. Then we have Kidd to tutor Shump and throw lobs to Chandler.

I'm just kidding around. I have no problem with Felton considering the situation.
I kind of like this lineup. Linsanity/Linstability aside, Felton played above average basketball in NY under D'antoni, and even if his stats were inflated by the SSOL (Sorry, Shit Outta Luck) system, his ability to run the pick and roll with Amare transcends any "offensive system". His conditioning has been questioned, and I hope he answers that unequivocally. But, I see an experienced PG that does not need to dominate the ball to be effective, can go left, plays defense and is tough.
Further supporting my admiration of this lineup is the 'old guys'. They are some mean, tough sons of bitches. I almost expect Oakley to get signed next. Camby and Thomas are gritty and tough. Maybe fragile as well, but this team is gonna use all of their fouls...hard. In practice, Camby and Thomas are gonna toughen Amare up.
I could see the Knicks filling the gaps with Grant Hill and hopefully Luis Scola (though he can do better than a Vet Min). I'd love to have Scola though and would put him in at the SF next to Camby and Thomas on the practice squad.
Felton/Kidd/Prigoni
Smith/White
Melo/Novak
Stat/Thomas
Chandler/Camby
[Scola]
[Hill]
IR: Shump

Grant Hill is LA or retire. Scola is already a Phoenix Sun. Where's your head?
this cant be legit...

Felton with his 11pts on 40% shooting and 29% from 3 with no Dantoni system does not fit the bill. Maybe if he was playing with Lebron, Wade & bosh but not with Tyson, amare & melo

Get used to overpaying in trades. That's the only way Grunwald gets them done. Look at his resume in Toronto.

camby trade was similar to me. cant say i am as enthralled by this off season as others may be. strikes me as if they think its the mid 2000s. hope it works, though too many nut punches by the knicks over the years has me looking out for another.

So was his original Camby trade (Camby from Toronto to NY for Oakley).
I'm with you. Nothing has been done that pops out at me as a move that greatly improves the team.

The previous administration gave away all of the draft picks so he has to use cash.
