Metta World Peace has reached an agreement in principle on a two-year deal with the New York Knicks, league source tells Y! Sports.

Man, RealGM is always bad but the Knicks board there is a real piece of work.
i hope this is the first and last time humphries has a celtics jersey with his name on it
damn, and he did that against kobe? I stand corrected, then. So they're about the same.
what happened to kobe's defense? I remember him shutting down so many people.

That's a great pickup for them. They really need all the defense they can get.

I see skip has moved onto his next target. Fuck that dude, how many rings you got skip?
Eh, he's an expiring so I can live with it.
Wallace on the other hand...I hope him not being there with a jersey is a sign that he's on his way out.
Oh God why did I go down this rabbit hole.

YES
CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR A WORLD PEACE JERSEY
QUEENSBRIDGE.
Now, this is the signing of a veteran role player and a personal/fan favorite, not some gamechanging championship guy or something. But I personally am happy that a hometown player is back, especially one who is a true fan of the team (since he is actually from New York). If he plays even identically to last year, he will help out a lot. Now, get Kenyon Martin again, and let's go to war.
Felton/Shumpert/Anthony/Bargnani/Chandler
Prigioni/Smith/World Peace/Martin/Stoudemire
with Murray, Leslie, Hardaway, Tyler and a spot open just in case.

So I guess you're one of those people who doesn't think not chipping should impact his legacy? Especially as the so called best center in the game?
He makes a living by being a professional troll or the guy that's easiest to hate. It's just his thing. I expect to hear him talking about Dwight a LOT

MWP and SHUMPSDAGOD on ball defense?
I'm watching the Knicks this year.
A lot.

I think chipping requires a ton of favorable factors to fall in place- it would def help his legacy of course.
What I object to is skips penchance for labeling dudes losers and then viewing all of their actions through that prism.
Seriously have you not been watching the NBA the past few years?
Kobe is shit on defense.

Plan the parade, Dolan.
I don't understand this. Wasn't he just on a team that barely made the playoffs? Magic Johnson, sigh...

Of all the dumb things Magic Johnson has ever said, this is certainly one of them.
Plan the parade, Dolan.
Its a dumb way to point out my frustration with sports media- they're sooo quick to cast stones on athletes, but god forbid someone criticize them.

Take a fucking break from your Knicks bashing. You're already getting tired.
Those threads disturb you as well I see.

There's at least one player in Brook-NAM that doesn't want to see him.

He was apparently at his charity basketball camp in Alabama. I think he's essentially unmovable unless the Celtics are willing to package him with Rondo or picks.

I'm just happy that the Knicks have finally rectified the sad fact that they took Frederick Weis instead of Ron Artest all those years ago.

Bogans and Brooks look so...unhappy.
I thought Brooks would at least be happy to get more PT and more responsibilities and Bogans got a nice payday.
Hump is not a bad dude and a serviceable player. He's got a nice short jumper, finishes well at the rim, runs the court well, good man D (poor team D -- but nothing good coaching can't fix), plays hard every night, averaged a double-double last time he was in a contract year in a starting role.
He's overpaid for strategic reasons, but he's a good dude in my book.

It may not seem like it based on that picture but Brooks actually seems to be fairly happy with this trade and Bogans better be happy with his new pay raise. As for Hump, I agree with you for the most part he doesn't seem as bad as people make him out to be. I'm just not sure if he has a role on this team in the future.
Well if you had you'd see that I wasn't bashing anything, I was just offering a fascinating peek into Wonderland.

We now have the most mentally unstable team in the league. Metta just needs to play his role and not over do it.

He will take bad shots, he will make boneheaded plays, he will anger you to no end.
But every so often he will make you love him.
That's our Ron, Er Metta.

I wonder if Rondo will throw him into the stands during practice time.... I mean, didn't he essentially call him a big pu$$y after all that went down?

No matter how this works out, I love that an unabashed Knicks fan is getting a chance to play for the team he grew up loving. At least he'll try hard, even if he's trash.
I'll always remember listening to his St. John's runs on the radio when I was a kid!

I don't think it'll be that bad, during the press conference Ainge even made a joke that Hump flopped.

Artest coming home!!
good pick up

Not true, Woodson is gonna be a calming influence. And Amare won't be volatile since he knows hes a rebound or blocked shot away from becoming brandon roy.
