you're right. the knicks should have signed kobe bryant or lebron james with all that money they had left :hammerhead:

Shut. The. Fvck. Up. Bagel. Red.

If you sign for the Knicks, its for the NYC lifestyle or money.

[DuMa]

i for one am glad he didnt pick the clippers. i would not have been able to root for them if they had scrotum AND metta world garbage on the same team.

Not a bad signing, but it still doesn't address most of the primary weaknesses from last season which were size, a consistent second scoring option and rebounding.

maybe it helps in the rebounding. i agree with you, but the knicks were strapped. its hard to do much improving unless all their overpaid bench players retired. amare is not doing that, and honestly i think he will bounce back this year. maybe they didnt improve much, but they didnt exactly get much worse. maybe a couple of their new guys would do better against the pacers.

[Levity]

Good pick up. i know a majority of posters on here think Ron Ron's washed up, but a lot of those understandable claims were warranted while he was playing through injuries his first few years with the Lakers. but this last season, he was feeling better and was in the best shape of his laker career, and as a result, he was a useful piece to the team. yes, he chucks up a lot of shots, but thats because his coach gave him the green light to shoot 10 3's a game. He's going to be very serviceable with the knicks.

[bluechox2]

we shud be alright, we can play small or big

[hawkfan]

The Knicks could use some help with scoring at the guards.
Why didn't they go after Anthony Morrow?

[Optimus Prime]

Well I guess his little China ruse worked and he got what he wanted. :kobe:

[InspiredLebowski]

Pacers/Knicks rivalry's getting to be a lot of fun again


Well I guess his little China ruse worked and he got what he wanted. :kobe:
No it didn't. It's Ron Artest's dumb ass, there's like 3 teams in the league that would have any interest in him and none of them are under the cap to bid.

[wang4three]

JR Smith, Metta World Peace, Andrea Bargnani? Oh gosh, better hope they're not off the same nights cause that would be a lot of brick building.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Nets and Knicks will be battling it out for that 4th seed.

[bagelred]

Metta World Peace ‏@MettaWorldPeace 54s

Where Brooklyn at?

:oldlol: That was fast....

[jimmy77x]

As usual of ISH if he had decided to go somewhere else for example pacers or clippers/nets it would have been a good move, but since its the knicks its another bad move :lol

[christian1923]

Pablo, JR smith, MWP, stat, Kmart :bowdown: celebrity 2nd unit :roll:

[SilkkTheShocker]

As usual of ISH if he had decided to go somewhere else for example pacers or clippers/nets it would have been a good move, but since its the knicks its another bad move :lol

The Knicks 2nd best player is J.R. Smith and they trade picks for amnesty candidates like Bargnani. They need to blow it up.

[InspiredLebowski]

As usual of ISH if he had decided to go somewhere else for example pacers or clippers/nets it would have been a good move, but since its the knicks its another bad move :lolyeah ****ing right. if the Pacers signed him I'd literally stop being a fan.

[DuMa]

Sam Amick @sam_amick now

Metta World Peace text to USAT on whether deal is done with the Knicks: "No. I'm still talking to other people." Don't kill the messenger...


Its gotten to the point where Woj's word is better than the athlete's word himself. thus MWP's words dont count for shit in today's social media world.

[IncarceratedBob]

I think Artest would have killed himself if he had to live in the shithole known as Indiana again :lol

[jimmy77x]

yeah ****ing right. if the Pacers signed him I'd literally stop being a fan.

So that means you stopped being a pacer fan from 2002-2006 or are you a recent pacer fan :lol

Umm Artest is from Queens, NY and has been a lifelong Knick fan....

[SilkkTheShocker]

All im saying is he obviously doesn't care about going to a contending team.

[bagelred]

Sam Amick ‏@sam_amick 1m

Despite reappearance of Ron-Ron, I can confirm he has agreement in principle on 2-year deal w/ Knicks. Even if he doesn't want to admit it.

Oh that Metta....he's such a cad.....

[ShaqAttack3234]

I wasn't saying it was a bad signing. Just saying that I'd like to see those weaknesses addressed. I'd also like to see the team's identity established more firmly for the future. Is the small ball going to continue with Melo at the 4? Or will the future be with a more conventional lineup?

As for Amare, I hope you're right. I really liked how he was starting to play with the improved post game, but I'm not holding my breath until he's out there for an extended period of time and there's enough time to see whether he actually can fit with Melo or not.

[DStebb716]

I wonder what number he'll wear because he can't wear 15 in NY. Maybe he goes back to 96 or 37?

[tazb]

Meh, nothing special. Past his prime, not even close to the defender he once was, pretty shitty spot-up shooter, low IQ.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Aside from that, he is reallllllly good :applause:

How many times have you been exposed as a bandwagoning Lebron dick riding bitch? Your statement would have been the complete opposite had he decided to join your man crush in miami. Nice try trying to downplay anything knicks related though.

[Trollsmasher]

Earvin Magic Johnson ‏@MagicJohnson 2hod
Whatever team Metta World Peace ends up on will become a championship caliber team.
I don't even:facepalm

[Horde of Temujin]

MWP signed to guard Carmelo Anthony and his honey nut cheerios from Kevin Garnett.

Thanks for your time with the Lakers. This ones for you Ron. :cheers:

EDIT: After consideration, this song needed to be put up too, Maybe this one is closer to home.

u just describes kg and pierce

[Human Error]

Do the Knicks fans think the signing of Ron Artest put them above the Nets?

[KNOW1EDGE]

This.

Just like if Artest was just now joining the Lakers instead they would all be riding his d1ck saying he is so good and they will win a chip, but since hes leaving they say he sucks and are happy hes gone. lol (just like they did with Dwight)

Bandwagons are so sad.

[bluechox2]

if the knicks got kg and pierce, all you hear is how its a shitty deal an how both are past their primes, conflicts will arrise btween melo, melo definitely will leave next year...

[Teanett]

the knicks are now the slowest team in the nba.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Decent pick up. Can be a good role player I guess. Knicks are really unathletic though.

[Doranku]

I love MWP and was sad to see him amnestied, but the dude is dog shit.

From Novak to MWP shooting 3's off the bench... :roll:

[DStebb716]

Decent pick up. Can be a good role player I guess. Knicks are really unathletic though.

Iman, JR, Hardaway. Amar'e can still show flashes of athleticism. Chandler can get above the rim.

How much are hardaway and Amare even gonna play?

Knicks > nets .. Deron is a no heart loser leading a team of grandpas.. Good luck with that:lol bulls bench still >>>>>> nets

[FireDavidKahn]

Smith and Peace on the same team?

:coleman: :roll:

[bagelred]

nets get kg and knicks respond with bargnani. nets get ak and knicks respond with mwp. they are losing this game.:lol

Knicks had a better season than the Nets, and kept the same core together. Seems the Nets are trying to catch up, eh?

Trying to catch up with a 38 year old, and two 36 year olds....good luck with that.

[All Net]

JR and Metta on the same team? :oldlol:

Actually that's the retarded Nets fans. Ive haven't heard the Knicks fan overrating their team yet.

[Bandito]

Although Id agree that many non-knicks fans underrate the Knicks, knicks fans themselves are usually far overrating their team like crazy. You havent heard of this 'cause you are either blind or suffering from mental disability. I know it sucks, but dont worry your misery will all end once you get hit by a truck a few months later.
Like I said I have yet to hear Knicks fan overrating this team. In fact most Knicks fan are being really sarcastic about this year team compare to the 2012-2013 season. But all I've seen this summer is nets fan already proclaiming their championship over having Pierce and Garnett like it is 2008. You are one of those delusional fans. Hope you guys play the Knicks next year playoffs and are beaten by the lowly Knicks. I promise you will go batsh1t like this playoffs when the Nets lost to the role playing team aka the Bulls.

[AirMike]

Nice, I am excited for the next season, let's hope there is a Knicks-Nets battle early from the start :cheers: That should be a great ballgame...

[sportsfan76]

thought that Nutcase was going to China

[kNicKz]

At the end of the day anyone who watches basketball would take MWP over Steve Novak or Quentin Richardson. We made an upgrade in the role player department. The only people hyping up pick ups like this are the people then pretending that Knicks fans are the delusional ones. This wont get us to the finals but it will get us some much needed defense and shooting

[flipogb]

at the end of the day we watch the NBA to be entertained, Metta does that.
enjoy the laughs NY fans

This. Metta with limited minutes can still give you stretches of great defense.

He took a lot of shots but now with the leagues leading scorer not only on his team but playing his position MWP is going to be more of a go to defender instead of a go to 3 pt option :facepalm like he was last year.

Dude started on a playoff team..just saying. I'd rather have a starter off a playoff team as my 8 or 9th guys than Quentin Richardson. No disrespect tho Q you my dude
