*Felton traded to the Knicks. Knicks not matching Lin?

[AntwanBoldin]

Smart by the Knicks. Lin is awful

This boards reaction to Dolan if this happens:

[K_ick_God]

Honestly I refuse to believe this.

[ORANGEandBLUE]

If we match Lin, how soon can we trade him? If Dolan doesn't want to deal with the 3rd year couldn't he just trade Lin before then?

[Michael_Scott]

People who keep talking about Felton as a 2 guard....he has never played that in his whole career, and is way undersized to do so. This is Dolan/Grun making a truly idiotic move.

Luxury tax team NYK fear of matching Lin deal understandable when 3rd year of tough to trade contract would cost $15 million,source tells Y!

The marketability of Jeremy Lin will, you know, dip if he averages 8 and 4 in Kevin McHale's offense.

From what I heard from Rockets fans, all Kevin McHale does is run pick and rolls.

f*ck twitter. f*cking up my night like this. i used to get to sleep through the night and not know of the latest knicks bullsh*t till i woke up and read the paper. now i'm jonesin for updates every 5 minutes like a damn crack fiend.

[ihaveawizardowl]

If this is true, I will be stunned, and will only believe the following:

Lin has pissed off the Knicks management, and perhaps flat out said he doesn't want to be there any more, and it was enough for them to let him go.

Because THERE IS NO WAY THE KNICKS SHOULD JUST LET HIM WALK. No way.

[SpeedyWindRose]

I just refuse to believe the Knicks will let him go. Like I mentioned in the Bulls forum, Lin has become more than a basketball player - he's a worldwide icon. Any team would benefit from this in various ways and the guy is pretty good basketball player too.

It's a no brainer really. Very dumb move to pass on him, I'd like to see him stay in NY.

[Knicks218]

What if the knicks get felton than sign an trade Lin for Kavin martin or courtney lee or both? would you do it solves our SG need.

[[GR]]

What Feigan say on NBATV?!

Nothing we haven't heard. Glen ducking Morey like a ninja etc. Rockets did Fed Ex the contract to NYC though.

[SonOfMars]

It'll be funny if we do both

Houstons plan, if we matched Lin was to target Felton
If we got and kept both
Houstons best PG would be Toney Douglas...with a really thin PG market after that

[Red Vines]

I don't think this is all about money, I think it's about the front office trusting veterans more.

[K_ick_God]

Only explanation would be Dolan being really mad at the way this was handled.

[ORANGEandBLUE]

Part of me is convinced that the Knicks are getting Felton as SG because he can shoot better than Landry Fields.

Felton would not come here to play unless we let Lin walk. There wouldn't be enough minutes.

[MaseInYourFace]

This boards reaction to Dolan if this happens:

LMAO. Hahn's actually tweeting the reaction is mixed. That not as many people are upset about potentially losing him as he thought there would be. Doesn't surprise me because a lot of people are dumb. They look at the TO's, that Miami game and forget everything else, they think that little bit shows he's not good enough.

[13th Man]

Woodson was never really a Lin fan. I'll bet that he's happy for this, now he can start Jason Kidd to his heart's content.

[Mr_Perfect]

Only explanation is that Dolan is an idiot and always will be an idiot.

[LJ4pointplay]

Not for nothing, but Kidd might be better defending 2 guards at this point than 1's...
