Should the Knicks match the Rockets' contract offer for Jeremy Lin?

Yes
8716 - 44%

No
10944 - 56%

For people saying this is not that bad, yes it is. Think about what happens when:

A) Knicks underachieve
B) Nets overachieve
C) Lin continues to impress in Houston

We'll set a record for most fans lost in a year.

Now since we're playing with imaginary scenarios let's try this sequence

A) Knicks overachieve
B) Nets underachieve
C) Lin levels out as a solid PG but not great

Cool game.

Yeah, you jumped the shark now.

Y'all can sig this---Knicks will match Houston, Fatty Felton and Kidd will mostly man the point, and Lin will play mostly off guard.

Okay chill out...

Greg Oden has only played in 82 games. Is he a sophomore?

Your right, I'm thinking MLB. Lin was considered a 2nd year player last year

We have people throwing out stuff like "if Lin is so good why didn't he win player of the month??" "Why didn't he win all-NBA 3rd Team?" But the "why didn't he make the all-rookie team?" Takes the cake as far as silly ways of dismissing Lin's performance last year.

you know Isiah is involved when it comes to evaluating a PG "Jlin aint got **** on me"

Jared Zwerling: Someone I spoke with who works with a #Knicks player said that Lin could've said #Knicks and no other team early on. But he tested market.

WE TOLD HIM TO. WE SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO "BID AGAINST OURSELVES". GO SET YOUR MARKET VALUE. JESUS H. CHRIST. STOP TRYING TO SCAPEGOAT AND BLAME LIN.

We took every measure to fck ourselves. It sounds more and more like the Knicks don't and never really wanted Lin back. And I don't get it.

dude he set his market with the first agreement (3 years 19 million with a 9 million dollar team option).

he then felt the need to accept more...fair enough he has every right to do that, but he then risk the chance of the knicks matching.

he made his bed

Thats pure speculation, you have no idea how it went under the table. It well could have been Rockets tricked Knicks by leaking out the initial verbal agreement, then up the offer by the time Lin signs it --- since it was the only offer on the table, Lin had no choice.

The fact the Knicks offered 1 year qualifying didnt help either.

Prediction or "sources"

[Smokey9782]

being upset over how another person spends their money isn't a good look

If it directly hurts the team I root for, I do. However, my point is that it's a BS reason. It's not the case. This is all about Dolan being douchebag.

Come on. That's a line you don't want to cross, man.

[stevieg987]

We refuse to negotiate with Lin. Tell him to set market price. Leak that we'll match anything. He gets exactly the offer expected; we have a change of heart.

if your going to make statements make correct ones.

the "verbal" agreement was a deal a little easier to swallow...neither was refuted from the Rockets or Lin's camp. So the Knicks were working on the pretenses that it was a 3 year 19 million dollar offer with a 9 million 3rd year instead of 3 years 25 million with a 15 million dollar kicker.

lin has every right to do that but don't act like Lin is innocent here...he wanted money over NY

I'm making statements on game theory not hearsay over what was or wasn't promised. When you scream to the hills you'll match anything, a smart GM will challenge that and make you pay. You man up and pay the man for your own incompetence. You don't blame him for acting like a businessman in a situation you forced him into. It's petty, childish, and laughable.

LOL

[K_ick_God]

Why would you put Lin off the ball?

lol

He's the best passer and creator we have.

Nothing here makes sense except Lin is heading out the door and we're ready to make that happen.
