Good pick up.  Has a chance to do something before he's outta the league as a bust.

Fun watching the knicks burn. I guess that this is their Win Now mode. LOL

Picking up a bust is a good move?   He's had multiple shots to prove himself.  He smells. 
Before a game on Christmas against the Pacers, Bird told Chuck Person that he had a present for him. During the game, Bird shot a 3-pointer in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry F!#*ing Christmas!" and then the shot went in.

and yet he has made almost $21,000,000 so far, even before taking a single paycheck from the knicks. it is amazing.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Still just 24. Is athletic. Is a decent tweener. Good pick-up

It must be nice.

Player option? That should have been a team option.

I do not understand this contract. Derrick Williams should be a minimum or near minimum guy at this stage in his career. I can understand overpaying because you have some belief in him but at least put in some protection for yourself with a team option on the 2nd year in case he fails again ... which he most likely will.

The Knicks need to make an impact quickly with Mello being 31 going on 35. Lopez was a good FA to grab at Center. (I wish we were able to get him)

I think the Knicks helped themselves for 2015.
