It's 2 year @ $6 mil then year 3 he's a phat expiring trade chip if it doesn't work out. It's not a good deal, but it was a bad deal made for a purpose and it won't be crippling. And who knows, maybe he's the next Doug Christie and he kinda makes it look alright?

Bwah ha ha like the Knicks are any more relevant. You realize this year makes 40 right? I guess you made the finals that year of the lockout.

You're acting like every NBA is team winning championships. You can attribute most of the championships in NBA history to a handful of teams. So, you're really ain't saying nothing. Just another clown trolling, trying to antagonize Knicks fans.

Dude, that area leading to the Rose Garden is shady as fuck...Vancouver St. I think it was.

Well, at least I know how to get there now.

I'll be cruising down for some games this season.

Signing Lin is dumb for HOU but would be abject stupidity for the Knicks if they match. The structure of that final year is horrible for them. Curious how Lin and Asik on the books would affect Howard talks. Might stop Hennigan from asking for things he could never have anyway. Or kill the deal

Lin carried that team on his back. I don't care about the small sample size, if you watched the games you knew he belonged. Even after teams started focusing on him he still put up good numbers, dude can play. Knicks didn't dodge a bullet, they took one up the ass. He's gonna do really well in Houston, even with that D-league supporting cast.



Yes, he is. Stop trying to act like you know a lot about basketball by saying he's not a starter. He's definitely a starter, look at the numbers.

It's funny how knicks fans went from savior amare to melo and now Lin.

We can only take back one bad contract instead of five. I actually think Lin helps us a little. Asik is only okay if we can't land dwight.

I just don't get it. After 20 years of over spending and ignoring the cap we decide to be frugal now? Where was this attitude when we traded for old ass Glen Rice? When we traded Ewing for more contracts instead of letting him retire a Knick? When we were handing out lottery picks like candy? When we traded an entire basketball team for Carmello fucking Anthony? This team isn't winning shit. With or without Lin, everybody knows it. But the kid is only 23 and he has the potential to be really good. That hope was one of the only things I had to be happy about. I'm fucking salty right now.

I wouldn't be surprised if Melo and/or Amare had some influence in sending Lin packing.

its not confirmed yet. we just got the sheet and have 72 hours to match

most likely felton is just a backup.

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeckNYT
Kidd is 39. Lin is unproven over full season. Is it unreasonable to think NY would sign Felton as mere insurance, not as Lin replacement?

Sorry to all you "haters" out there but I think what Knicks did tonight makes sense. They are win-now & Lin has zero playoff experience
Click to expand...

I don't know what's the more interesting thought in this quote.

1. The Knicks think they can win playoff games
2. Raymond Felton will help them do this

You're talking out your ass. The Knicks are gonna have 3 million dollars to sign a player in 2014 whether Lin is on the books or not. Unless the Knicks are planning on breaking up the "big" 3 the only thing Lins deal is doing is costing them more money.

A source close to the process told ESPN.com's Marc Stein the Knicks officially received the offer sheet Saturday night, meaning they have until 11:59 p.m. ET Tuesday to match it or let Lin go to the Rockets.

His signing is 100% about marketing.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

If it was my money I would think diffrently, but as a fan who only cares about the moves the Knicks can potentially make it doesn't matter at all. And as a fan of a team that historically throws around money (often to the detriment of roster flexability) this shit makes no sense.
