    Now lets bring his pops back as a coach.

  • Knicks4life

    How many roster spots do the Knicks have?

  • bernardo F

    BREAKING NEWS!!! We just signed center Patrick Ewing oh wait it’s his son. lol

  • starksoakmase

    doesn’t this make 15?

  • Jayo

    Mo Ager/Bill Walker/PE jr/Rautins/TD/Mozgoz/Fields .. Would that line up win you a NCAA title ?

  • Mucha

    Good!

  • bernardo F

    Off topic but I was wondering any updates on how the arena is doing?

  • http://Knicks.com/ Russ

    Absolutely. #33 never got his ring as a player. I would love to see him get a ring as a coach for the Knicks, although it will take at least a few years.

  • Mucha

    Good karma.

  • Pavvy

    did alan hahn know this when he said that the knicks should sign ewing as the 15th man on roster on knicks night live????

  • KnickFan4Life

    He might actually fit in more now if Knicks actually start incorporating 7SOL more. He’s pretty good in the up-tempo game…

  • KnickFan4Life

    Yeah probably. Rautins, Fields, PE Jr, and TD were all pretty darn good college players…they certainly would be a tournament team and a likely favorite…

  • http://www.reeltalkblog.com Shakespeare

    def a good pick up as the 15th and last man on the roster….i think he is/can be as good as Walker and the nyets Outlaw…

    wonder what # will he wear since Fields is taken his #6??? maybe 3?

  • Ftingue

    Oh Gorily to the Highest the curse this over

  • oscar f

    Good pick up but we now have more players at foward than any other position. Maybe the team is expecting to lose some fowards(Gallo,AR)in a trade. I didn’t think Donnie was going to pick th kid up with the Knicks being so strong at that position. I glad we have a Ewing on the team again and coincidently in the same season we might actualy make the playoffs.

  • oscar f

    His father said he could use his number if he became a Knick. Im sure we will once again see #33 at the Garden.

  • Chapzilla

    Wish he was a center.

  • Chapzilla

    Hopefully he doesn’t have his dad’s knees.

  • johnny23
  • oscar f

    If he ever plays(and he might if a trade happens) then he will be fine because his game is based on hard work,hustle, and running the floor.

  • KNICKAPLEASE77

    EWING! DOING! (Walt voice)

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    congrats to P.E-JR.
    gotta cuss to that F**K YEA.

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    hope he stays on the roster an gets some burn

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    gotta unretire the number first
    don’t really know how that works

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    karma is a 1 nite stand

  • Mucha

    Gus Johnson is amazing.

  • KNICKAPLEASE77

    dude can can hustle defend and not to mention he can sure flush it… def a walker upgrade if you ask me

  • Jayo
  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    mos def is he got more tools than walker

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    line of the day

    some cat said they would take FELTON AKA DUHON over jennings anyday.

    that’s also the biggest joke of the YEAR

  • ds2488

    Great news. That’s very awesome. Good ending to what I think has been a pretty darn good summer for the Knicks in the first time in a long time.

  • J_Starks3

    Off topic. I just saw Rome is Burning with Derek Fisher as host (I actually hate Jim Rome) and saw Brandon Jennings as a guest and again like I have been saying all along the kid is humble and all of you who said the kid has an attitude problem and that is why we didn’t draft him are full of it. The kid is going to have a great soph season.

  • J_Starks3

    Kobe was also there and he is still the Black Mamba and Fisher is an arrogant idiot.

  • Mucha

    Wow.

  • Citiboi12

    I know he can dunk but can he really play?Please someone let me know.

  • KNICKAPLEASE77

    yes he can his best attributes are his defense tho.. def an above average defender, very smart ball player as well just give him some time (maybe a season or 2) and he will def be an offensive presence on the floor.

  • HaS

    Hope he doesn’t get cut like the last time.

  • knx22

    yeah maybe if he learns how to shoot the basketball. no shots.

    I honestly don’t think his attitude was the problem with Knicks brass. Donnie said it himself…he wasn’t sure he was going to be a good shooter and so far he’s right.

  • HaS

    Some people just refuse to learn or admit when they’re wrong. I’d trade Felton, Douglas, Fields, Walker, Mason Jr. and Rautins for Jennings right now.

  • blackwood

    lol where you in comedy club when they said it? lol

  • blackwood

    Thats a cop out!! If Magoo said that then its a bold face lie! If that was true why was he drooling over Rubio who also has issues with his shot? That is just a cop out so he dont have to sat “darn it I blew another draft” I could respect it more if he did.

  • Citiboi12

    That is one of the dumbest trades I have ever seen on this website and I hope you are just playing.

  • PickNY

    I take Felton due to his experience! He was hand-cuff by Brown! The shackles are off and I believe that Felton will be playing at a high level THIS YEAR!

  • PickNY

    At least he knows that second chances doesn’t come around often, so he better Go For It!

  • knickfansuicidal

    at least we finally removed the curse of Ewing. Donnie knows we need all the luck we can get. I wanna see Knicks win 50 and finally shut these fu**in haters up while getting respect for our assets.

  • Dave the Rave

    Yay. The greatest 1 preseason 3-minute garbage time player who was cut in the history of the NBA is a Knick.

  • thebossandbenji76

    Well that’s 15 guys now with the Ewing JR signing, so he should make the club.

  • NoVaCaInE

    Moderation?! WTF???

  • erik

    +1,000,000

  • Ray

    Love this signing. This will be our energy guy off the bench. Good job Donnie. We have a young exciting team to watch.

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    that was posted in the THREAD b4 this 1

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    more like 1 season with danni boy an he should atleast be a good shooter

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    i think he gets cut again unless he whoopz some azz in training camp i think he could whip-rautins-walker-fields-mason

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    we know he can be that but does DANNI BOY think the same

  • Citiboi12

    I don’t know i’m still kinda skeptical about this.He was cut before and and he has been trying to get in the league for the longest.We will see though.

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    yea ofcourse,hope be makes the best of it an makes his dad PROUD

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    hopefully he doesn’t have T-CRAK-KNEES either

  • jaknicksfan

    This is a very good signing, ewing is high energy, good defender and a good team mate, he will help us, as far as felton i really thing hes gonna turn it up a notch and play great this year without being restricted in the slow system he played in.

    It will be interesting to see if D’Antoni actually gives everyone an equal chance to earn playing time. Wee probably have 8 guys who should obviously get a lot of playing time. After Felton, TD, Chandler, Az, Gallo, Randolph, Amare, Turiaf there are a lot of guys fighting for bench time. Walker is likely the next choice so thats 9. It wiill be interesting to see if the coaching staff gives a guy like PE Jr. a legit shot at that remaining time left over. Hopefully he’ll be given a clean slate and the best talent will earn time. D’Antoni only rotates so many guys anyway but still it doesn’t matter what the fan base thinks about a player its what the coaching staff thinks about them.
