At least not to the point where I can't just wait for the news to inevitably come about at some point today/tonight...or are most of you just bored?


Then why do YOU keep posting in these threads with your opinions if you could care less ?

@IanBegley @BillyBauer1 @TheNBA_Insider I think he is the real deal! from speaking to him, he says Dolan has overruled Grunwald to get Lin

@SeemsHarmless @BillyBauer1 I think it's true. I investigated this guy and he is a CAA agent and connected to Lin's marketing team


Does Lin have any affiliation to CAA?


The CAA connection is interesting. Apparently CAA tried to sign and Lin but he refused. He instead signed with Jim Tanner and his massive firm that has influence in the walls of washington dc. The agency lin signed with makes CAA look infantile. CAA also represents Melo Woodson Jr CP3 LBJ Wade Bosh and some say that CAA pays SAS to push there clients interests on national television.

The CAA connection with the Knicks runs deep and maybe all of this would have been avoided if Lin was a CAA man. And also SAS would probably be a lot nicer to him

I do not know. I got like 3 random follewers when I joined. I just made an account to follow Knick related crap.


You just click on who is following you, and there is a thing next to there name and you can block them.


Word... I just blocked one of y'all. :lol:

Well I got lucky. My mother hooked my brother and I with some plane ticket vouchers so we had to use them or let them go to waste. Toronto was the best chose.

Yea, I heard that city is stacked with sexy women. :D

Thanks.

ok im signing off.

my prediction: we won't match


when i first heard this, i was shocked and lost a lot of enthusiasm for the team.

now i'm kinda over it. I'll still root hard, but it will sting for a while. This isnt like losing Gallo or Chandler. Those guys never saved our season.

I know one thing, If he truly wants to stay in NY, Lin can't be happy with his agents after this mess, they are the ones behind this Dolan money grab, Im convinced.

When you consider how Dolan made Woodson fire his former agent it makes perfect sense... If Dolan matches Lins contract, look for Jeremy to switch representation, you heard it here first.

I'm listening to the radio... drinking a soy chocolate milk before I go do my moonlight jump shot workout at the park and then I'll listen to that Jared Max show because I like the co-host while my chick sleeps and my cats try and sneak out of my house. I ain't got anything much better to do. :lol:


:lol: Fair enough. That's some bball dedication, there. Good stuff.

Answering a question with a question, I see. I'm honestly just curious, as I find the level of intrigue among posters here in comparison to other topics that have been discussed during this offseason (and in all my RealGM posting history) all quite fascinating. Especially the rate at which this thread (and presumably all the previous threads) continues to grow.

As for why I'm here, I had a weekend that totally threw my sleep schedule and, like ibraheim, have nothing better to do. Plus, like I said, I'm just really fascinated at how much attention this topic has received here, even at 2:30 on a Monday night/Tuesday morning. It's really interesting IMO. And as for why I continue to post my opinion...well, I am a Knicks fan...this is a message forum...and I do have an opinion on the matter...and this seems to be the central place for Lin discussion...so...yeah.

:lol: Keep telling yourself that.

Lin saved the season.. Woodson saved Melo's ass.
