Awful thread.

All over Twitter at the moment with fans undecided on swapping to Brooklyn. Honestly, good riddance to any Knicks fan who swaps team. I don't want the Knicks associated with fans like that.

The franchise is bigger than any player.

I agree. Look at the big picture guys! We are fans of the Knicks, we are not Jemery Lin fanboys!
Patrick Ewing, who has done many more great things than Lin, got traded and we survived. Lin played amazingly well for 30 odd games and we are enamored with him like little girls are enamored with Justin Bieber.

I hope people can just wake up and calm the F down!

LOL at this poll. I still remember when Linsanity was just beginning and all these people were bashing Lin saying he'll be a nobody and now people are threating to leave the team if he's not back? I'm chinese and probably one of the biggest Lin fans around and own a Linsanity shirt and Lin swingman jersey. I'd only be really pissed because I spent money on him and I probably wouldn't want to wear it anymore. I can't believe people would jump ship on their own team for someone who's not a top 10 or hell top 25 player in the NBA. I'm really surprised the Knicks RealGm board whom I'd assume would hold members of die hard fans since fair weather fans probably wouldn't know this site, have such fickle and fence jumping Knicks fans.

The fair weather nba fan was brought in to the knicks by jeremy lin especially the asian population so him leaving will cause a hysteria. Your not a fan of a player but rather the team, I'll be here and literally cry when we win the championship. You see my join date been here for a long time and before I joined realgm I was posting on msgnetworks forum, die hard here....

Hopefully the Knicks realize the unhappiness in the fan base.
But unless we call MSG as well as email them, they probably don'T change their decision.

I'll follow the Knicks but this will throw me for a loop. At some point you are no longer a fan but a lemming.

Did not vote. I'd be truly broken-hearted. The main effect is it would probably just keep me away from the Knicks until pre-season and then of course I'd watch the games, but I would be too pissed off until then to give this the same attention I have lately. I stlil cannot believe this organization could be that stupid, so I'm just trying to chill until we know their decision.

I really just wish the 38 people who said yes would leave already and stop being so lame

if you are a fan of a team because of what it says on the back of the jersey and not on the front then heres a newsflash .... you are not a fan of a team

Wil always be a Knick Lifer... but that being said. Its pretty hilarious that for so many years we have been searching for a PG to make us a legitimate contender and we MIGHT have found one out of the blue, and we proceed to fugg it up. It is so typical Knicks. I guess I should have expected it.

We will never win a chip with Fatty running the point for us. Never. Ever. That's what is sad about this whole situation. This whole 3 year thing is a farce. I say we blow it up now and sell everyone off and start all over, because I'm scared that we're gonna end up trading expirings for mammoth contracts that will strangle us for another decade or so. I ain't getting any younger.

Hey ballboy! Your only schtick since you started posting is to try and hunt down "fake" Knicks fans. WE DON'T NEED YOUR BS. Stop picking fights and learn how to be an actual contributor or spare us your taunts and childish games.

**** you. What are you like 18? The hell do you know what this means to some of us.


What just because I'm 18 that makes me less of a fan than you are? I've been through the Isiah Thomas years, and saw what this team was like with Marbury, Crawford, Q-Rich and Curry.

When it comes to losing prospects, I saw what it was like to lose Gallo, and I hated that. But you know what I did? I got the f*ck over it and didn't sit behind a computer b*tching about it like you are.

I am a fan of the NY Knicks. This team has put its fans through hard times. But you know what? I'm a fan and I stick behind my team no matter what.

If that sort of thing could make you give up on the Knicks, then by all means, good riddance. I don't care WHAT player it is, the name on the front of the jersey is always more important than the name on the back.

what do you base you allegiance on?

would you stay with a spouse that beats the crap out of you consistently just because you are married?

would you keep going to a restaurant in which your food has roaches in it because your family had eaten there for generations?


I'm from NY, am a Knick fan, and will never stop. You can stop being a fan, I could care less. What sports team you support has no affect on me whatsoever. But a real fan stays with his team no matter what. You sir, are not a real fan.
