    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Looking to add a point guard on the cheap, the Knicks went into the start of free agency at 12:01 a.m. Monday targeting Chris Duhon, who has been a backup with the Bulls during his first four NBA seasons.
    The Knicks are expected to offer Duhon a two-year deal worth roughly half of the mid-level exception, totaling around $6 million, according to NBA sources.</div>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>New coach Mike D'Antoni is high on adding Duhon to his system. In fact, when D'Antoni was the Suns' coach, he tried a few times to acquire Duhon as a backup to Steve Nash.
    "We're getting our notes ready," said Duhon's agent, Kevin Bradbury. "It seems like it'll be a good fit."</div>

    He's only getting 2 years so it's a good pickup.

    Duhon is pass-first, a good defender, and takes care of the ball. I like this move.
