Forced?
A good percentage of the fan base had high hopes for a quick turnaround.
Phil is actually doing the right thing it just won't yield immediate results.
Knicks will still get killed in the media next season.
On one hand u look at williams size, skill set and the stats he put up in college and u figure he has to put up at least 15 10.
On the other hand
this nikkas averaged 4.3 rpg for his career
Lets hope he figures it out. I'd be happy with 10 6. Gonna need him to hit the boards hard if he plays the 4.
5 mill is a bit much but the potential is there and it's only 2 years.

I was holding back my excitement at possibly signing Derrick because I wasn't sure we'd get him...but now that we have, I can say this is my favorite move of the offseason so far.
I have nothing to base my optimism on except a gut feeling that this guy is going to be a solid contributor for us. Watching him play last year I clearly remember wondering how a player with his skill set wasn't beasting...maybe he's the anti-bust and actually excels on a bigger stage in a bigger market...
He's had plenty of chances, dude is a bust.
Since you wonder why, he's too small to guard PFs effectively and he's not quick enough to defend SFs. That is why he has struggled so much in his career.
Ehh I'm not happy at all

As a first option? Yup.
A bust for Minny? Yup.
A Bust if WE had drafted him #2 overall.
We're not counting on DWill the cornerstone, we're using him as a role player.
He's a good player, just not a great one. He's far from a bum though and his history in Minny and Sactown have nothing to do with is.
And the overrating begins, he's a bust no matter how you slice it, doesn't matter if you drafted him or not the reason he's coming to the Knicks for $5 million a year is because he's a bust.
He's a decent rotational player, far from "good" and what he gets on offense he typically gives up on defense. We talking about a dude that couldn't win the starting job over Jason Thompson....

Which means he's getting the money he deserves and was a good pickup for the money
K thanks
2 years 10 mill for Derrick Williams
horrible
That's Damn Near Minumum Wage For The NBA, Vet Minimum is 2 Like Mill
Did I say anything about the pickup itself? @BAMBA was wondering why he hasn't produced much in his career, and I told him why. He's a bench player, nothing more, nothing less.
I'll remember all of this.
File it, I been doubting Derrick Williams since before he got to the league
