Dolan has to compete with Brooklyn. Casual fans now have an alternate team to root for if the Knicks start to piss them off. Those BK Nets snapbacks are like the hottest item in the area right now. Knicks aren't dumb. They will match. At the end of the day, the contract stinks, but the ball is still in their court.
I gotta go to Brooklyn one of these days and see this.

fair enough that deal is alos ridiculous. So is blowpez max and to a lesser extent Hibbert and Gordon. FWIW the trend this summer does seem to be grossly over paying players. Thought the CBA was gonna fix that.

That was an extremely minor injury. Should have absolutely no impact on his career.
Should have had no impact on him playing a playoff game.. Oh wait

An argument could be made for that.Thugger HBC wrote:TrueWarrior wrote:Is there something terribly wrong with Lin's knee or what.
Doubt it, but he isn't about to set foot and play on a basketball court until he knows who will be paying him.

It was supposed to, but it's a poorly constructed CBA in my opinion. The Bulls are also said to be matching Asik's contract which is also ridiculous. There's a lot of bad contracts in the NBA. And now there's just some more.

Who's to say he won't be a proven player by his 3rd year?
Whos to say he wont be a bust by end of year 1
