I am late to comment but YES we get RON ARTEST aka Metta World Peace for 1.3 million dollars as the Laker will have to pay him 7.7 Million as party of the AMNESTY. Yes we needed him so GREAT in my humble opinion. At age 33 he's still got GAME.<@MettaWorldPeace will be waived via amnesty by Lakers to save about $30 million, barring some late change.>

any chance Knicks bid for MWP's services? rather have him than KMart OR Brand...
prob not gonna happen, just putting it out there...
I have been watching Hardaway JR in the Las Vegas summer league where young players RUN AND GUN trying to make an impression. Having said that Hardaway JR has a good mid range jump shot, confidence ,and looked good on an alley oop from Shumpert BUT.....No thanks.. He's not half the player he used to be. I'm happy with Melo/Hardaway Jr. as our SF rotation.
Correct...Ron Artest with K Mart and JR makes us able to go toes to toe with the INDIANA BAD BOYS. Hopefully the Ron Artest signing will motivate K MART to come back for a veterans minimum.2. things we got going for us
1. Metta's play has fallen off since he has changed his name I doubt he is going to be that sought after
2. what team under the cap would really want an unmotivated Metta World Peace! He's not a player a rebuilding club would go after...Dallas would be a threat but why would they want he and Marion? Metta would not want to go to The Bucks or Bobcats if The Knicks are an option!
I propose if he comes back he changes his name back to Ron Artest!!!!!
Felton
Shump
Artest (thats right)
Melo
Tyson
and Artest will then be able to swap from SF on Offense to PF on D to keep Melo from getting banged on all season.
Bring back Kmart and we'd have the most intimidating team since Oak and Mason were together
Any team can sign KMart for the vet min. It's not much of a difference between the 10yr vet min of 1.4M and the 1.7M we have left in the MLE but it would preclude title contenders that only have the vet min left to spend from grabbing him, that's why I said if MWP get's the rest of the MLE we may not get KMart.K-Mart if signed would be Vet. Min. nothing to do with the MLE...
MWP contract is two-year, $3.2 million contract...
Terrific signing for a short term 2 year deal. He's better than JKidd, KT, Camby all who we paid more for. For 1.6M we got 12.5ppg and 5rpg and a good on ball defender.Typical Knicks....this signing isn't good....Metta is a shell of himself. Of course we had no other options available so we'll talk this up like it's the greatest signing ever.
Hey gmf1369...great read on RON RON. I went from depresed and hopeless about the upcoming season to euphoric and if if we get K MART back and a PG WOWEEEEEE...LET"S GO KNICKS>smokescreen... he didn't want to be subjected to play for any organization but the one he chooses... of course he didn't want to be amnestied but now he can choose where he wants to go... the knicks were one of his top destinations and it looks like he has reconsidered his previous banter on "NBA not being an option next season" (smokescreen to defer teams from acquiring him via the waiver process)...

I'm hoping he signs with the Knicks out of gratitude that we salvaged his career last year.

Good point. Francisco Garcia did that with the Rockets, signed a 2yr vet min deal with a player option so he could use his bird rights for a better deal in the second year.Like Artest signing a two year deal with the option that next season he could opt out and re-sign with an increase...
K-Mart can sign a Vet. Min. this year not sure if last season his late signing qualifies as 1st year on Bird Rights making this year his 2nd... If so, next season he could earn something like what J.R. made??? Is he worth that kind of money at this stage of his career???
Adding K-Mart would solidify our front court, he wants to return and should he return maybe he gets a bump next year on a re-signed deal and that would be the approach I would offer him if I were the Knicks...
