Felton has as much to prove as anyone right now after his past season and a half. But I loved his 4 months here. Let's hope he can replicate.

Glad he's back. Thought he exhibited all the swagger I like to see in a Knicks uniform. Wish him the best and hope he whips himself into shape.

People loved him before the Melo trade. Now they hate him. Hilarious.

So how much is Felton going to make?

He does, which is why I am very intrigued by his return and excited with the possibility that he comes back in good shape and with a chip on his shoulder(as long as he doesn't eat it)

Felton will be great for this squad...We just added yet another hard nosed dude to the line up...Tough player when engaged and he knows what it takes to be in NY...he will be ready...Felton, Shump, Melo, Amare, and Chandler with Kidd and Camby off the bench..Tough group...

dude started playing pretty poorly before he was delt, hence why i was more than fine with moving him back then.

once his jumper went away the team started to struggle.

that being said, he's back with us and did well with amar'e in the pick and roll, which could be good for us.

Uh...they all did. Including the beloved Gallo. IMO, Felton was just starting to get the hang of the offense(cause we know he struggled for a while in the beginning) and play at his best before the trade rumors came at full force. Once the trade rumors came, they all started to struggle.

This. He played Knick basketball, even within MDA's system. I was sorry to see him go, and we know he was sad to go. He didnt want to leave. I'm happy he's back, I know he's happy to be back, and I think this gives us a nice hroup.

Oh boy, look at the great numbers he's put up in his nine career playoff games.

I really liked Felton when he was here, but does anyone else remember how his play just took a dive the last 10 games or so before he was traded. I'm afraid he was just playing over his head.

Hope he gets himself in shape and doesn't hit the buffet bar too much.

The only thing people remember from that season is how we played when we went 14-1, nobody seems to remember the rest of that season pre-Melo trade.

i like felton too but ur right that dive continued for 2 years. I dont know what the knciks are doing. I like the camby/kidd moves since tyson got a good backup and kidd would help tutor lin. i dotn think feltpn is good anymore and i love kurt but he is 40 while JJ was 10 years younger and did similar things. alos many of our draft picks are gone for the next few years

All Felton ever did was sign on with us for a short deal, play his ass off, showed lots of Knick pride, get swallowed up in a huge trade, and evidently entered a sustained period of depression or something, before coming back to the team that shoved his ass out the door. And now because Houston signed Lin to a ridiculous contact that is scaring off the Knicks because of Dolan's pitiful ego or Woodson's game-planning or whatever, he suddenly gets dumped on.

Give the dude a chance. I always value guys who embrace the craziness that is MSG and the Knicks and all the pressure and pride wearing the laundry brings.
