I've asked this question three times, and have yet to get an answer. Perhaps no one on the board knows, but if we don't match, wouldn't that be a clear indication his value off the court for this franchise could not go any higher? Lin only dramatically improved the value of the franchise when he was playing like a franchise player with game winners and exciting finishes. If he regresses, does he become Yi Jianlin?

Just having him on the team and being Asian is not enough to ensure he makes the Knicks money, right? He has to be as good as he's been to justify this contract, right?

what crazy about it is the fanbase attracted to Lin is benefiting the entire league, not just the Knicks.

the entire league shares the merchandising revenues, and the Knicks will still continue to sellout with or without him.

I do think the stock spike was real though.

You're missing the most important part;, selling broadcasting rights to Knicks games to fans abroad.

the whole league gets to profit off that, even better the small market teams get a bigger cut.

Try again.

no, there's not. i don't understand why those of you who have no faith in lin try to make those who do support lin seem somehow irrational, whether accusing them of not being real knicks fans, exaggerate their positions like crazy, go on about "melo bashing" when lin bashing is just as common, etc. it's silly and childish, and a large part of why these threads are unbearable. if you think you're right, just argue your point coherently. stop with the ad hominems and strawmen.

make me

That's what your opinions look like.

The Knicks know that Lin is a fan favorite and that there will be a backlash if they don't match, so the more this drags out the more the fans mobilize and the more anger builds and bigger PR nightmare it becomes. If they have no plans to match it would be in their best interest to make it quick and move on as fast as possible to promote the players that they've already acquired like "Hey! Look over here! It's Kurt Thomas! Remember him! Yeah...good times."

It doesn't serve the Knicks to do anything quickly, whether it is to match, or not match.

Didn't you say that about 75 pages ago. I guess that message is having trouble sinking in.
