BREAKING: Report - Knicks Won't Match, Lin to Rockets

Yao Ming was only a money-making asset because when he was healthy there was a very strong argument for him being the most dominant and best player in the NBA. Lin during the Linsanity run didn't even have an argument of being a top 10 PG in the NBA. And when he returns to being a borderline NBA player you think China is going to support him? They stopped supporting Yi when it turned out he really sucks, same thing will happen with Lin.

You guys sound like all the whiny Mets fans who bitched and moaned about Reyes leaving. Turns out he's pretty mediocre too and severely overpaid.

Only the Knicks, lol. Only the Knicks would toss Linsanity into the trash for Raymond Felton. Unbelievable.

God is not going to take too kindly to this. Let's face it, Melo, JR, Woodson, Grunwald, and Dolan are all going to hell when they die.

You still can't do this however -- if you're Dolan. Just can't do it.

This is like everybody losing. Life does sometimes come to that. It's unfortunate. All parties are probably worse off, except for the Rockets maybe if this doesn't stop them from getting Dwight.

Pragmatic post

This is exactly how I feel about the situation.

Can't blame Lin and his agent for trying to get the most money they can. He's still very young, so it's not like he needs to take a pay cut to try and contend for a ring. It is what it is. PEACE.

I disagree. Lin is better off. So as Rockets. I can see Howard being interested in going there. And I am serious.

Only one explanation to this - Dolan acting like a baby again and/or Melo acting like a punk and wanted Lin out of his spot light.. This was not about money.. this was about personal vendettas they had against Lin.. its such a sad organization.

I know you guys are freaking and I would be too. But this is the BEST move right now for the team to be successfull right away.

Melo needs to create on his own, he is a superstar. Felton and Kidd help him. Lin would compliment him less+crazy contract, and I aint surprised.

You guys will be 4-6 seed next year so don't be freaking out.

If Dolan doesnt take the podium and say it himself, he's a coward.

Nash was the only PG that would have. After that disappointment, this is whatever.
