Yeah, Meta's career is over. He's an offensive liability and can't guard the elite players anymore. It would be a tragedy if they picked this guy up to try and guard guys like Lebron or Paul George. It's not gonna happen. He's slow footed.

Exactly. Teams should add players who actually "add" something to the team. Metta adds abosultely nothing. He isn't a premier 3pt-shooter (which you need around Melo), and he can't guard elite wings (LBJ, Paul George, etc.). The acquisition of Metta adds nothing to the Knicks.

Personally, I'd rather have Novak getting the minutes over Metta. Neither can really guard, at least Novak can knock down 3's.

You're comparing Elton Brand to Amare Stoudemire? LOL what planet are you on. Stoudemire is coming off one of the best years of his career 2 years ago. He had major surgery and that's gonna take time no matter what. He will be a force next year.

Amare is never going to be a force on a consistent basis again. He is damaged goods. Love Artest but he has been washed up for over 2 years. Him and Bootsy were my guys at St John.

At this point in their career, they are pretty comparable, actually.

Mike Woodson came out the other day and said Stoudemire was going to be limited next season to about 20 minutes a game. And most likely take off on back-to-back nights.

He will not be a force next season. He's done.

Complete thug team now this wont end well

Nothing but positives from this signing for the Knicks.
Minimal risk, high reward.
Chandler needs this guy.
Him and Shumpert are the only Knicks with any defensive fire.
NY will love him, and he will love NY.

They're not expecting him to do any of that. They got him on the cheap to play minimal minutes and if he does have something left in the tank, great. If he ends up just sitting on the bench all year and does nothing, it's not the end of the world.

imagine a heats vs knicks conference finals meta playing

[allabout the $$$]

just have to keep him away from the queensbridge projects that is where he grew up and he loves to represent them. thats where the trouble starts and ends with him if they can keep his head straight he should help
