I say fuck it and move on. Getting Dwight doesn't guarantee we win right away any way. If he was willing to extend it'd be different but that's too much for for a rental.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Lillard is a pretty damn good shooter.
I'm surprised teams aren't scared of his back. I personally think Dwight is on the road to regular injury city.

..but but Hollinger stats..
I guess I'm the last person not 100% sure the Knicks don't match. I just read a blog post from a TV critic and lifelong Knick fan who basically turned in his fan card and went off on Dolan. National writers are killing them. They haven't declined anything. Still a couple hours to match

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Same, I'm so ready to just go all out with rookies. Heck we will pretty much suck, but be fun to watch, be young and have a pick much better than 14.
"Come on you owe us for Franchise "
LOL sad thing is you most likely will get Lamb if he continues to play like this. Morey will let him go for Howard. Orlando should be on the phone with Morey right now.
"I'm surprised teams aren't scared of his back. I personally think Dwight is on the road to regular injury city."
I know I'm worried about that and you know Houston and injuries go hand in hand. He will come here and just get worse.
Link pls.

I was irked enough about the Knicks/Lin situation that I wrote this: http://theystoppedthelinsanity.tumblr.com/
Dolan has never cared about the press opinions.
I'm gonna stay up till midnight but I'm not hopeful.
This is our only hope, but Dolan has one good quality that he applies in the wrong way; he usually sticks to his decisions.
the irony

From talking to my friends who are Knicks fans it seems like since the Nets moved to Brooklyn they finally have a way to get out of the abusive relationship that is being a Knicks fan.
We have no first round picks to get good, young players. We're also capped out for years. The only way we can win is with the current team that we have. Letting Lin walk so that we can sign a bunch of over the hill guys (yes, Faton is already over the hill) will most likely go down as one of the worst moves in team history.
I see the ironing dog. It had to be said.
hahahahahahahahaha
but an older stoudemire is going to come back and fuck shit up! just you wait!

Knicks RealGM smh
Because stats aside, he made Knick basketball fun to watch. That 10-15 game stretch he played was the only good moment since we made it to the Finals in 99.
People can point out how he's overrated, he's turnover prone, or any other flaw. He also is a shit ton more productive than Wife Beater/Failton, maybe if we got Kidd 5 years ago it would be a different story.
I'm not quitting on the Knicks, I'm just giving the perspective of a lot of Knick fans.

Yep this is literally the worse time the Knicks could of said a giant FU to the fans.
The joke though is on everyone involved both organizations are incompetent and the Nyets have their mistakes under longer contracts.
Well it would make a good story. Owner listens to fans and brings back hope and fun to joyless MSG. Villain evil Wizard of Houston foiled again

The Chinaman is not the issue here dude.
I love the train of thought that the Rockets needed Lin to tell them that the Knicks were likely to match most offers, as if they couldn't figure that out on their own. :lol
The run he had in like his first 5 starts was historic. And Dolan is most likely not going to sign him because he feels slighted.
Lin's agent is the one that asked the Rockets to up the offer. This was revealed a while ago. Its the reason why Dolan is so mad.

The Nets' 4-1 loss in the second round to the Heat this year will at least be much better than the Knicks have done in the last decade.
I couldn't be a Net fan even if I wanted too. After that laughable Fantastic Four poster, I'd rather suffer as a Knick fan.
If I jumped ship, it would be to the Bobcats. MKGod gonna be best player in the league in a few years.

Yeah, but if you're ever going to bail on a team the only decent time to do it is when another team comes to your city. Otherwise you just look like a bandwagon fan.

I'm still going to be a Knick fan but I will get the NBA league pass to watch Lin; if the Knicks don't match... 
I know.
But it's the Bobcats, I don't think anyone would care if someone jumped ship to that team.
Nooooooo. I really want Nolan to get his shot this year. Easily one of our most likeable players and a genuine guy.
I wonder if Shav is going to stick with the Wiz.
Blazers Nolan Smith taken off on a stretcher and the game ended early beacuse of his injury....oh man
Hope he's ok. Sounds like he got an elbow to the neck.

LOL @ ex Knicks fans rocking Brooklyn Nets T-shirts/jerseys. It's like y'all forgetting what franchise y'all trying to switch over to. The Nets at their highest point when they were winning with Kidd and going to the finals still couldn't get people in The Tri-State area to care one bit. A whole fucking state couldn't give two fucks about them and now they're moving to a NYC borough and y'all expect to things miraculous change over night? A fresh coat of a paint isn't going to cover the shit stain that is The Nets organization. Anyone who's rocking a Brooklyn Nets shirt who isn't from Brooklyn is a straight up clown.

I don't think not working out is as much of a red flag as not starting in college is. Or going to Syracuse.

The Knicks told you, me, everyone on the planet they were going to match. I don't get what the fast one was here.
You wanna talk about fast ones, how about the Knicks front office running and hiding when Houston had to deliver the offer sheet so they could try to squeeze out an extra day to make The Rockets wait?
Or how about the fact that the Knicks could have just avoided this whole dumb situation by making him a solid offer in the first place, instead of sending him out to fish for offers from other teams? And then chasing after Steve Nash and Jason Kidd while he was doing so, and having the Felton trade lined up the minute that offer sheet was signed?
Jesus. Looked like an elbow to the temple.
Wes Matthews stepped in front of the cameras filming him on the ground and asked they turn them off.
