Breaking: Duhon Reaches Agreement With New York

From The Sporting News, the news is out that Chris Duhon has agreed to sign with the Knicks for a 2-year deal worth approximately $12 million, or just about the full MLE. The signing can't officially be made until the 9th, but the deal is all but official.

"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," 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."

Fair enough. At least we know the guy wants to be here. It remains to be seen whether or not this means the end of Stephon Marbury in New York. Probably not, but some sources maintain that he's toast. More on this later, but for now, have a happy (and dry) July 4th. Peace.

“the duhon trilogy” - we are given an unnecessarily in-depth look at the world of chris. notice the fact that, although the videos have been available on youtube for over a month, the three of them combined fail to break the 1,000 views mark. admittedly, i felt a slight loss of respect for myself when i found myself typing the man’s name into the youtube search bar. i only watched the first part of the trio, and i’ll say that easily the most exciting bit was the footage of him talking on his iphone (without a hands-free headset, mind you) while operating a motor vehicle - simply because doing so is blatantly illegal, at least in new york.

that all being said, i think the guy will bring little ego and fit rather well in an uptempo style. i just hope he doesn’t snatch up too much of nate’s burn.

this is such bullshit

Duhon is one of my least favorite players in the league, for a variety of reasons. I’m a pretty optimistic guy, especially about the Knicks, but I think ever move we’ve made over the plast few months is stupid. This could be a good or a bad sign, considering I’ve thought that such players as Zach Randolph, Stv* Frnc*s and Jalen Rose would be great Knicks and that we would make the playoffs well into mid-january, so I’ve been wrong a lot.
