Print(Osborn's Note: Nice catch here by Kupe. I tend to agree with his assessment as well; who else were we gonna get? Unlike last year, during which we had approximately 35 swing men on the roster, we actually have centers and point guards now, so we can afford this type of athletic signing. Additionally, I think Pat Jr. showed everyone something in Summer League, and this is evidence that Donnie picked up on it as well. What do you guys think?)
According to Alan Hahn's twitter:
alanhahn:The Knicks just announced the signing of Patrick Ewing Jr. There is your 15th Man.
Our 15th man is none other than the comeback kid. He's finally made the team, Patrick Ewing Jr. This means no more talk of Earl Barron or anyone else to fill out the roster. Personally I'm cool with this signing, nice to see a legend's son on the team.
He seems like a high energy guy, should challenge the starters in practice. Maybe he gets his dad's sweet shot and cracks the rotation, but I highly doubt it. Anyway, good lookin Knicks fans.

Its funny because
They just talked about signing him on Knicks Night Live last night. Its in my recap.
"You're like that old, beat down restaurant with the dirty bathrooms, weird customers and foul odor, I'm like that new shiny restaurant across the street with the bright neon lights, fishes in the floor and 2nd floor gymnasium. Why don't I have any customers?!"
God I hope he gets cut...
A terrible player in college who is already an ancient 26 years old and has never played in a single NBA game? Pass
People need to let go of the Ewing era from 10-15 years ago already. Couldn’t imagine how annoying it would get if every game had some sort of flashback simply because this kid came from Pat’s penis.
Focus on the new and exciting team we have now, not on the last name of a scrub who doesn’t mean anything…

Oh, and the guy hasn't played in an entire year since spraining his MCL...
Sounds like a real winner =/

who cares
He played well in SL and got a contract to come to camp and compete for the very last spot on our roster. He’s 6’8", plays good defense, can run the court and flush the ball, what more do you want. Oh, and his dad is one of the greatest Knicks ever, and that’s fun.
Old people re-living their "glory days" isn't fun... its just annoying and sad
Theres a reason he hasn’t played a single NBA game: He’s terrible

Aw, c'mon
it’s the 15th spot on the roster. If the kid has a good attitude and works hard, what’s the harm? It’s fun for the fans.
Your right and a wise man fuhry =)
Guess I was being too hard on the kid sorry about that.

Big pat Ewing
is smiling right now
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
So who does the fans yell to get called in during a blowout?
Him or Landry?

"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
pause damnit
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
people will cheer for ewing jr
but fields will play more meaningful minutes during the season
I'm happy for him. He worked hard to earn the spot.
Decent signing..
The NETS is like my own sense of direction..
The MAGIC made me realize that one..
I would've preferred Barron
But this is good too.
Plus I remember an Alan Hahn article a few months back that mentioned Patrick Ewing’s assistant coaching contract with Orlando is almost up, so there’s that to consider,
Get Pat here with Amae!

Ewing Jr., Mason Jr.
I like this trend. Is there a Starks Jr. or Oakley Jr. out there we could sign?
Love this
As a fan, it’s just a feel good PR move and a good one. Plus, the guy may be able to figure out an NBA role.
Wow, the Knicks really seem to have done everything right this offseason.
except
for that isaiah move. but hey, nobodys perfect
awesome
love me some Pat, in a straight, I-watched-him-play-while-he-was-at-IU-and-he-can-dunk-really-good-and-is-a-high-energy-guy way. it probably would’ve been easier to just say “pause”.
Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

i understand
i love me some Pat too, but more in a I-watched-him-play-while-he-was-at-Georgetown-and-he-can-dunk-really-good-and-is-a-high-energy-guy way
Isaiah Thomas
The Knicks Made a good move in getting Iasiah as a consultant and I hope they can get him back in the future. It’s a shame basketball fans don’t know how to judge people for their skills and it’s good that some of us can.
Sometimes its not just about basketball, sir.
But if you check plenty of other threads, you might find that there is definitely credit given to Isiah Thomas’ talent evaluation.
You know who else was extremely talented? Bernie Madoff. Think the Knicks should hire him to handle financing?

Ed Curry for Jamal Crawford trade
Knicks tried to trade Curry for Crawford, but Curry hurt his back in a McDonalds last week
in the takeout line while ordering twenty quarter pounders as an entre to his chicken fingers mdeal.
that's probably one of the best things Eddy's ever done for the Knicks.

Trade makes zero sense...
Only reason Crawford would want to be traded from Atlanta is if they don’t give him an extension.
Any team that trades for him is going to have to give him an extension which aint gonna happen with the Knicks =/
