The Knicks are capped out for the next 3 years regardless. The only thing this does is save Dolan money. It has no impact on anything else whatsoever. We can't sign anyone with the money we save. Not really understanding how letting a potential star leave for nothing to save a year's worth of luxury tax payments is a "smart" business decision. This is in no way comparable to Jerome James or any other long-term cap destroying contract. So there's no "insanity" involved in this process. The Knicks are letting a talent slip away for what amounts to Dolan not wanting to pay.
It's not about the money. It's about they had a deal with Lin and he used that to get more money.
Not saying what Lin did was wrong but it rubbed them the wrong way. And our management are the kind of guys who's ego needs to be stroked and Lin made them look dumb.

This.
That's easy: Because they don't care about the fan base.

Did Landry Fields actually say his poor play had something to do with Melo??
He said his play suffered last year because the "team dynamic changed" ... everyone knows what he was trying to say.

Again, where is this myth than Lin "used" anyone or anything to get more money coming from? Upset fans? Berman? Isola? Seriously...this is biggest crock of crap I've read on this forum. Do you not understand that there is no basis to anything you're saying? It's all garbage and not based on any facts at all.

Neither Lin or his agent, Rockets officials or Knicks officials have said anything.

Dolan is a frumpy and cantankerous child.

He got that contract because Colangelo is dumb.

I am a fan of the Knicks Facebook page and it was not even mentioned that we are not going to match Lin. You would figure that would be news. All they covered was the Summer League today. I mean it sounds like nothing when it is pretty insignificant compared to our biggest FA that they would only chose to focus on that.
Again, I am holding on to the tiniest bit of string like a few of you guys are too.
And they have the nerve to show their faces at the Vegas Summer League but don't offer any information to the fans, just strange.
When days before Woodson, Melo, JR, and even Chandler was reported to mention they either wanted him back or gave an interview.
