Felton likes to play heavy and comes in out of shape on purpose.

Hahaahhahahahahahahahahaahahahahah

I still don't believe he really said that.

Anybody who thinks Lin prefers the Rockets to the Knicks are plain wrong. Everyone is Houston knows Lin is hoping the Knicks match

Possibilies the "Stretch Provision" could save Dolan from the huge Tax hit in yr 3. If Lin busts he could be waived and the money can be paid out in the following 3 yrs.

That's NOT new.

KNicks have known about this all along.

Only the media and fans are just now considering this option.

Which is what some people have been saying ALL ALONG.

Knicks knew of EVERY scenario a LONG time ago.

In two years Amare's contract will be worth something to other teams since it is expiring. The best scenerio is trade Stat before his last year and use that money to pay Jeremy when his contract explodes to $15 million.

He'll resign Lin tonight guarantee.

Dolan also apparently likes seeing MSG stock lose nearly $70 million in value over two days, because that's what happened.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's not get crazy now.

TBH, I've looked at the amount of boredom generated by the work I need to do and the boredom generated by the fake outrage on this thread.

It's a statistical tie at this point.

It's like watching a handball bounce off multiple walls - someone says something that someone else finds offensive, another person gets offended at that person's taking offense, and so on.

Some hard news better come down damn quick. I may doze off from the numbing effects of this 'discussion' long before then.

Not letting yourself be trolled by the guys on ESPN is a good thing. Some people here ought to try it.

I'm curious, would anyone bet their life that the Knicks will match Lin? You would anonymously win $25 million.

Felton better come into camp in shape. Woodson needs to be strict with this. Zero tolerence!!

Zach Randolph likes to come in out of shape too. He says it keeps him fresh at the end of the season.

If Lin does not play well.. He is worth sh*t.. The "Linsanity" is over, if he doesn't perform like an All-Star for a full season, the jerseys will no longer sell, the PR will no longer exist, he will become just another player and one with a ridiculous contract.

Bad investment end of story

But what If he does?

Won't happen if Lin is out.

We are very thin in the backcourt given Shump is out most of the year.

70% of the peeps (look at the damn poll in the forum) on ClutchFans are laughing at the Knicks and want Dolan to pass on Lin. Sure, some of them are still salty over Dragic, but even they admit that the difference isn't that much, and Lin could be better with his upside.

Houston is ready and waiting.

I live in Houston, and am a Rocket season ticket holder.

The Houston people want Lin, there is no doubt about that. But everyone knows Lin wants NY.

We are. It's an unknown what Kidd can give us. He has been in sharp decline. Pablo I have no idea what he can do. Felton and JR are the only healthy younger guys back there.
