What should the Knicks do with Jeremy Lin?

I'm by no means a Lin fanboy, but I don't think its fair to write the kid off yet. Lets give him a few more opportunities in garbage time.

As for the D-League idea: I like it. Now that we finally have a D-League affiliate, it would be cool to have kids stashed over there and keep tabs on them. He could definitely make a decent chunk of change in China though, no? Maybe he'll end up doing that.

Lin played nervous against the Kings. I liked what I saw in Isiah Thomas though...

Keep him till SHump and Davis are ready to come back. Rather have a poor player then no player. At least he can play defense. What if Douglas gets injured? Whos going to play pg for us as a reserve? Fields? Melo?

Maybe he was nervous...Who knows...he could be better then what he showed last night in garbage time. Id give him another shot before i crucify him. But he doesnt look like an nba player from what i saw. But tahts only 3 minutes in gargabe time like i said.

They should wait until Shump gets healthy and then let Lin take over Rautins' role until we can sign Martin and then cut Lin's ass.

wait till the PGs get healthy, as everyone else has said, and cut him. In the mean time, continue to play him a little bit, or at least see what he does in practice. If he's doing things in practice, then make sure to bring him in during summer league, so he can join walker russell jr., chris hunter, and the other scrubs who will be joining the rooks in summer league

He looks very uncomfortable, unsure, and appears to lack confidence and most importantly rhythm, this makes him look very awkward on the floor, especially with the ball. I do see a little desire in him by the way he makes most of his attempts to steal the ball back after he losses it but in one he is "Awkward". I saw some players laughing at him which I don't like. He needs a lot of work, I can't believe he's the best we could find under similar circumstances.

Really? Were they players on the Knicks team? That's not nice man.

As soon as shump is healthy we waive him, hes just a practice body right now.

Let me see if I got this straight.

When the Knicks lose, the blame goes to Stat, the coach, all rookies, the bench, and any player who plays a less than flawless game.

When the Knicks win, everybody piles on the rookie.

Where would this board be without someone to hate?

It's all part of being a fan I feel. I think it's that love/hate kind of thing, it's complicated...

Please stop starting threads asking for opinions after a player has been on the court for a few minutes. The need to grade and elevate or ship people out after one glimpse is getting ridiculous. PLEASE STOP.

The likelihood of Lin having any impact on the line-up is small to begin with, so why don't you just accept the probabilities and be pleasantly surprised if he does amount to something.

But this urge to drag any player through the mud after a single game is a joke. JUST STOP.

Lin had no bearing on the game he was in. By contrast, concern over Amare playing the worst he has since he has been here is worthy of conversation considering what he means to this franchise. Let's get a little perspective before starting more of these threads, OK?
