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

[No-Man]

Bibby makes more sense than Jared in Portland, they need a veteran PG next to Lillard, I was thinking on a better one but... maybe they are ok with Bibby

Bibby+Gadzuric+2nd round, that makes 2.5m$ if we sign Bibby to the 1.2m$ min that we could offer him, so Felton can grab what, 3.15m$ for a year, maybe we offer him a second year with a PO or so.

I will do it for sure.

Honestly I refuse to believe this.

I simply don't believe it.

"match up to 1 billion dollars"

[Besart19]

Wait a minute... There's also a possibility to get Felton to play back-up minutes as a PG, with Lin and Kidd playing around 20-25 minutes at SG and with JR playing around 5-6 minutes at SF!!

Otherwise, say papa to Lin... and dont even cry for that if happens. It was his decision!!

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.

that would actually be the only thing that makes any semblance of sense

[Nono]

Did Lin just crash Realgm ?

[NYKNICKPLAYA]

They are not going to let Lin go. That defies all logic.

[MasterGMer]

If NY doesn't match Lin and he goes to Rockets, can Jeremy Lin then get immediately traded? You know I meant Orlando...

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.

This point cannot be overstated.

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!

Thanks for that revelation Marc.

My take (since some are asking) is on a team loaded with vets, Lin/Shumpert are lone pieces for the future. Shocked if they let Lin walk.

[LJ4pointplay]

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

We also might view Lin as our starting 2 guard.

Or I'm just in denial..

[Mr_Perfect]

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.

Woodson is an awful coach. The sooner people realize this the better. Hawks ran him out of town after he benched Teague for broken down Bibby.

[Lord Commander]

Y'all need to relax. Jeremy will be back.

Rockets found loophole that would cost them $8 million on third year of Lin offer sheet and Knicks $15 million, source tells Y! Sports.

oh sh*t. they did us dirty.

[MaseInYourFace]

Gotta think Knicks are weighing possible business implications of not bringing him back. It would be a terrible business move...

[C-izMe]

This won't happen. It can't.

Exactly less hope for the future.
