Duhon to be a Knick

[Grandy28]

Point guard Chris Duhon has agreed to sign with the Knicks.

Duhon will reportedly receive a two-year deal starting at the full mid-level exception. The total contract value will be approximately $12 million.

"I am just excited, I am ready to get to work for the Knicks," Duhon said. "It's a big stage, playing in New York. It's something every player in the NBA wants."

"Chris could have shopped himself around more, but in the end, he wanted a fit where he felt comfortable and he knew what kind of opportunity he would be getting," Duhon's agent, Kevin Bradbury, said. "He wasn't worried about trying to find more money on the market or anything like that. He wanted the right situation, and this just felt like the right situation."

Decent pick up. Good for both party's. Duhon was going to get less minutes with Rose in Chicago now.

Eh, Duhon is OK. But I don't get why New York wanted/needed him?

 

[jarrod2323]

my point exactly - don't they already have Starbury, Nate, and Crawford at PG?

yes, i know Jamal can play SG, too

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Doubtful all three of those guys stay though, jarrod

Why?

Duhon isnt the type of PG we needed. I dont think he's starting material, or better then Nate or Marbury.

Maybe they're getting ready to trade off some of the PGs?

Yeah I think Marbury is on his way out, but I would have rathered Livingston or Telfair. Duhon isnt what we needed, and I dont think he'll last in NY.

yeah i dont understand why they picked him up, especially with the whole MLE

2 bad off-season moves by managment.

I know we're changing things, but if your looking for a starting PG, Duhon isnt the way to go...
