So? You don't talk about other players money, especially when you just hijacked 2 franchises to get all yours.

Where is the **** support from Chandler and Stoudemire? How about Shumpert? Heck even his buddy Fields hasn't said "what are the Knicks thinking, they have to bring him back!!!". What about Woodson? What about Grunwald? What exactly did he say that was so bad? Stop the crazy ass conspiracy theories.

Jason Kidd arrested for DWI the morning after learning he's backing up Raymond Felton.
WHAT?! Anyone heard this?
I'm guessing that's a joke, but it does bring up something I was thinking about. how is Kidd going to be ok losing minutes to Felton???PG controversy.

One of things you learn in covering #Knicks is you don't cross owner James Dolan. He is a very loyal guy but when disloyalty is shown, you are done with him. That may very well be case here with Jeremy Lin. It wasn't just the money, which was obscene in third year. As we have reported last couple of days, the renegotiation of an offer sheet that was agreed upon and leaked to press - after Woodson publicly said they'd match and he'd be starter - was a kick in gut to organization.

He'd really be stupid for saying that if people are questioning his intelligence based on the comment he actually made. The deal itself is bad. Doesn't mean that the Knicks shouldn't match Lin (they should). But bad it is still. I mean what can he do? Call out Dolan and the FO for not matching right away? I know that's what people want him to say right and do right? Maybe he should. But how do we crucify him if he doesn't. When was the last time any player went that far? And how many times has that happened? Yes, I would have loved for him to look into the camera and say "you got to match that offer, come on"...but if he doesn't doesn't mean it validates all the conspiracies the anti-Melo group has on him. Honestly, Stoudemire could come out and say that. So could Chandler. Have they?
But Lin was the one who caused the deal to happen, so criticizing the deal amounts to a criticism of Lin for agreeing to it. It makes Lin look like the bad guy, and I'm not sure if that's (a) completely unintentional; (b) Melo showing his true colors; or (c) the FO told him what to say.

You guys have got to fu*king relax holy christ. Is this how some of you truly feel about Melo but kept it hidden inside? I mean good lord. People aren't even hiding that they're not thinking rational anymore, can't believe y'all let this Redboone guy turn this into another wacky event of Hunt the ME-LO.

No their up in arms about a paraphrased version of that, which claims Melo calling the offer a ridiculous contract
Go figure...

I don't think what he said meant much at all... but he needs to be smarter about how he communicates to reporters.
Are you referring to the real response or the fake one?

It was the renegotiation that was the killer. The question is why did Lin do that? Looks like he did not want the Knicks to match.
Why didn't he want us to match?
