Linsanity or felton?

[Knicksfever2010]

LAUGHABLE about how everyone made such a big deal about losing lin. Felton is an upgrade over lin and plays GREAT pick and roll basketball with tyson chandler and 2 years ago he played great pick and roll basketball with amare.

If the knicks can get Amare to buy into the team concept and defense, SKY IS THE LIMIT, not to mention shumpert coming back as a lock down defender.

*best thing that ever happened to this team was getting felton and letting lin go.

everyone just made a big deal about leaving because hes korean...

i had that inital shock of letting lin go, but at the same time i thought bringing in felton wasnt that bad of a move even with the down year last year.

You already gave out the answer, so what answer are you expecting from us?

The game speaks for itself.

Knicks are far better with Felton than Lin.. Fact

Felton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lin.

Sorry RG.

I never really understood all the hate Felton got. Sure he has a history of being a fatass, but he's been a VERY solid pg for his entire career. Good numbers, well rounded stats as well. I always thought he had a lot of potential (to be a top 10 pg) back when his career started with the Bobcats. This guy has definitly been underpaid his whole career, underrated scoring ability too. I bet the Lakers would kill to have Felton with his contract right now; a lot of teams would. Definitly a great pickup by management

Props to Felton, he stepped up big time tonight in Melo's absence.

This is the best Felton has looked since his 10-11 run with the Knicks. It's going to be interesting to see how he fits in with the Knicks once Stoudamire comes back.

Lin, who won when the Rockets played the Knicks?

[imdaman99]

which one is the guy that mario scrub chalmers shuts down? which is the one he couldnt cover?

[iDunk]

Felton was never a bad player in his career except maybe last season with the Trail Blazers.

Dude's a baller.

You're the worst poster. What a stupid statement. The Knicks beat the Heat last night, i guess we have better players than Lebron.

I felt the same... until he played for my Blazers last season. Fat, out of shape, horrible decisionmaking, no leadership at all. We did not run a PG friendly system, but he himself admitted he was out of shape and didn't work hard. He's in shape now and has been great so far. Total turn around from last season, but before last season he was solid as well.

Thing is, Felton played in Charlotte when they were horrible and flew under the radar because of it. He blew up when he left for NY, but a part of it was just that he was in the spotlight more than before. He put up great stats and people said it was D'Antoni's PG friendly system that made him good, but it wasn't just that - Felton was balling. He showed some great traits, that he already showed in Charlotte, but people just weren't watching back then. He can shoot, great at finding the open man, can run the floor etc.. His stock took a plunge after last season with the Blazers and it's his own fault. He didn't fit in, but it seemed like he never tried and didn't work on his pysique either (man was fat). He sucked. Motivation can go a long way though. Look at him now. Really sucks to admit this as a Blazers fan, but Felton looks great.
