Knicks Summon Troy Hudson, World Keeps Turning

I'm getting close, guys. I'm just one Bobby Jackson away from getting five in a row in Aged Free Agent Guard Bingo! In their least surprising move since, well, that time they worked out Jerry Stackhouse, the Knicks have invited Troy Hudson to visit their Westchester training facility this coming Thursday. I'm not seeing this reported anywhere else, so you'll have to take Real GM at their word:
On Thursday morning, point guard Troy Hudson will work out for the New York Knicks.
Last week, Hudson held a work out in Las Vegas for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Memphis Grizzlies, Philadelphia 76ers, and Detroit Pistons.
New York was pursuing free-agent Ramon Sessions, but sources tell RealGM's Alex Kennedy that talks have stalled because New York is reluctant to add salary to their payroll in 2010.
Welcoming the old and low-balling the young. Just another day in the summer of '09.
(Tip of the hat to TKB's Myles A. Mills, who reminds us of T-Hud's illustrious rap career.)

At this point, I've begun using a mechanism to cope with all this shit.
Every time I read something that says “So-and-so will work out for the Knicks this Thursday,” or whatever, I simply replace the phrase “work out for” with “party with.” That way, it always seems like there’s a party in Vegas and the Knicks were invited. By this measure, not only are we getting down with some dude we ALL wanted to party with in the nineties (pause), but we’re the most popular motherfuckers in the NBA, since we’ve “partied with” at least 15 players this offseason.
I still want to party with Ramon Sessions though, pause.

At risk of seeming a dumbass, is this Troy Hudson the guy with the hair what played for Minnesota back in the day?

"Chickenhead" Hairdo
Troy Hudson is a terrible, atrocious, abysmally bad defender with a haircut that represents a slight improvement on his defensive play.
Actually I like the look okay, and he’s a decent and mature person for an NBA player.
However, you really cannot afford to keep him on the floor. In all seriousness, on every possession with the Wolves the opposing point guard would lose Troy on what looked like a pick at the top of the circle. The wrinkle: nobody had laid that pick. All the other PG had to do was change hands, and Hudson was gone. He’s an awful defender of epic, epic proportions.

Jamison Brewer, Rick Brunson and Moochie Norris wait by the phone.

Troy Hudson + 2010
I bet you my life savings Sessions and in 2010 they will overpay for either Joe Johnson or Chris Bosh.Neither of them a franchise player who can take a team to the next level.
Troy Hudson +2010
sorry i meant the Knicks will not sign Sessions.
C'mon guys, It's Obvious,
Donnie Walsh’s master plan is to sign Lebron in 2010 and surround him with a supporting cast of reanimated zombie corpses or various vagrants found throughout the subway tunnels. His preference of course being the zombie corpses because the Knicks save grocery money having only to feed zombies the previously mentioned vagrants

The Mayans were planning for 2010 cap space
They totally dealt salary to the Aztecs, but then the new CBA undercut their efforts.
Anybody else hopeful
whoever we sign, the newest Knick free agent will single handedly raise revenue and increase the league cap for 2010 by pulling shiny new quarters from behind the ears of young fans everywhere!!!

So…what’s a workout anyway? Who do they play against? They just fo throw up some 3’s or somebody actually works uyp a sweat.? Who do they workout against or they just time them down the court? Sounds like a good way to get some free training if ya was new to the pro game.

seriously?
Troy Hudson? This is getting silly now. Just sign sessions and get it over with. This is the only actual knicks interest that has made sense this entire off season.
bravo
donnie is being smart. he knows he is in the drivers seat and he doesnt have to move in urgency. but seriously i dont think lee and nate are getting their due respect. best case scenario-sign lee n nate to a one yr deal n retain bird rights. maybe move eddy n jared to play for two fa’s.
worst case- sign ramon lee n nate and follow the blueprint orlando adopted long ago when they sucked ass.
i'm pretty sure
Donnie is just feigning interest in these guys to make Ramon Sessions’ and his agent sweat a little bit. his thinking probably is, maybe we could make it seem like we have other PG options and signing Sessions isn’t necessary, driving his price down.
To be fair
I do think it’s smart dragging out the Sessions/Lee/Robinson dealings because all of them are essentially in the same boat. Whether they like it or not, the Knicks are the best options for them. So Walsh can afford to play these games because he also knows this and so of course he’s gonna low ball them.
BUT
all these silly workouts and ancient free agent inquiries are pissing me off. Troy Hudson? Seriously???
I know, I know, I know it’s PROBABLY just a ploy. But after years of bad contracts I’ve been conditioned to think the worst. AND he did offer both Kidd and Hill contracts, ploy or not they still could have accepted and we would have been screwed.
If these are just rumors started by Knicks execs to drive Sessions price down can’t they come up with a better rumor. How about “working out” Ronnie Price, Juan Dixon, Luther Head? If I’m Sessions I know with no doubt I’m better than Troy Hudson at this point in his career and wouldn’t even budge at that bluff. OOoor I just might get insulted and walk away out of spite. I mean Jason Kidd was offered 18 mil for crisakes 18 mil!!! Jason Kidd!!!
I’d sooner have Dantoni kiss the bottom of Starbury’s Starbury’s and beg forgivness along with a one yr contract offer than to even entertain the idea of Troy Hudson rumor or not.
I’ll praise Walsh for his patience but am loathing him for his senility.

an argument against hudson
3.7 career assists per game. at least go after a decent old timer. you might as well sign j-will.
What about the Clips?
What’s good with the Clippers’ pursuit of Sessions? If they’re trying to make moves Donnie can’t be sitting around. It sure would be rough to watch him rot on the bench at Staples instead of doing dirt at the Garden.
In LA he’s a Clip Session, but in NY he’s a Blunt Cipher.
talking about free agent point guards whose primes were in the late 90's
we should sign stephon marbury
and moochie norris!
no?
