Even if you don't think we should keep Lin for basketball reasons, the stock has already lost what we would basically pay in that third year.


is that for real? :lol: :( :lol:

The guy has put in a lot of effort and time around here.. it means something to him for those to judge him or determine how much it should matter to him is being self-righteous.

One thing I know is since Grunwald has take over knick executives rarely leak out information to sources. You guys remember the Tyson Chandler move last year? It came out of no where, and no doubt in my mind it was in the Knicks plan for a while.

Raymond Felton deal came out of no where as well.

because he has a player option on his 4th year, it doesn't mean he's going to be around to use it on the knicks.

Take it easy dude. Did you just piss your pants over what he said.


You're goddamn right.

He's equating losing a f*cking point guard to thousands of people dying?

I had friends in those buildings. Lin leaving NY is nothing compared to that.

Nothing.

Damn right I'm piossed.


Your pompous outrage at an upset post on a message board is 10x more annoying that anything KnicksGod has ever said.

I apologized. My relationship with my father is almost completely dependent on the Knicks unfortunately.

So when I stop rooting for them, that'll be the end of my relationship with my father. I realize you guys didn't know that but it is what it is.

It's a personal thing. This is devastating to me and goes way beyond sports. It's about my family actually.

I'll apologize again. But I didn't mean anything by it so please let it go. Two wrongs don't make a right.

This is straight out of the New York Times. This isn't some tabloid paper like the NY Post or NYDN. It's for real.

Step away from the edge. I know you will not go cheer for another team if Lin signs or not. You will turn into TKF but you will not cheer for another team. Especially if you are a true Knicks fan.

I think we need to just lock all threads related to Jeremy Lin for the next 17 hours. This is getting out of hand.

I guess Felton had so many offers you had to give him a player option for a fourth season in order to accept the sign and trade. No wonder Isiah was Grunwald's mentor.

Actually, that's not what he said. He said he feels that bad. People feel what they feel. Again...thought police.
