Mods please fix title to correct spelling of Derrick Williams.

TPercy @ 7/3/2015 10:47 PM

I'm not thirlled with this signing. I hope their eye test is correct.

nixluva @ 7/3/2015 10:47 PM

Figured this would happen. Hope he can find his game cuz he has a ton of untapped talent.

im not thrilled with paying $5 mill to a player who isnt that good. i dont mind the addition but spare some cash to sign others.

Brandon Bass is so much better. I dont see it in Williams. Phil whiffed in free agency.

TPercy @ 7/3/2015 10:52 PM

Use that 2 million left over to get Alexey Shved or KJ Mcdaniels.

This move is kinda surprising, but fits the youth movement we obviously have going on. now offset this salary by trading Calderon for an S&t'ed Koufus please.

anrst @ 7/3/2015 10:59 PM

Looks like he has a lot of talent on offense

Been on bad teams

How is he on defense?

TPercy @ 7/3/2015 11:02 PM

With all this youth, it would be best to get some veterans.
Luis Scola and Kendrick Perkins anyone?

Bass is 30 and will want more money. Derrick is 24 with more upside.

gunsnewing @ 7/3/2015 11:05 PM

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally after 3yrs I finally get DW!!
Thanks Phil!!!

GustavBahler @ 7/3/2015 11:08 PM

Dont know about this one. Career underachiever. At least its another 2 year deal.

Bass is a proven two way player. We are not in a position to be taking these kind of chances imo

BRIGGS @ 7/3/2015 11:10 PM

Thought we can get him cheaper but it makes sense as he can play 4-3 perhaps coming on as well I think fans will like him he does play hard.

CrushAlot @ 7/3/2015 11:11 PM

Nice. Kudos to Broussard for breaking a story. Williams was such a good college player. Hopefully he puts things together in NY.

Javele McGee still available n josh smith n let's get a shooter in here...

I like it. I know he hasn't even come close to living up to being the #2 pick but I know he was coming on towards the end of the year last year cause I was using him in a lot of my fanduel lineups.

StarksEwing1 @ 7/3/2015 11:13 PM

Not a good signing. So far the afflalo deal has been the best because its very reasonable. I like lopez but we overpaid. Williams has kind of been a bust

babyKnicks @ 7/3/2015 11:13 PM

Love it! 41 wins.
