Felton deal with Knicks "not done," source said. Everyone confident it will be. There will be a meeting late tonight after last game.

Doesnt he know hes messing with James Dolan. Nobody shows up James Dolan lol.

I still think were going to match though. Must admit, wouldnt be shocked if LIN barely averages 10 points a game on another team.

Truth is, this is MELOS team.

GTFO with this Lin vs. Melo bull. Lin can ball and is the wildcard for our championship hopes. If you deny that then you've got some severe lingering butthurt over Linsanity that you're gonna have to deal with.

Did I say Lin cant ball? No I didnt. I said you cant expect someone to be something when they barely played half a season. When he finally got some real PG competition, his weakness was shown. I still hate that he didnt play when he was 85 percent in the playoffs.

The point is, if he did this for an ENTIRE season, then yes I am all for it, but never in my LIFE would I choose LIN over MELO.

If you cant admit he is getting grossly overpaid, then you have something wrong with you

Source says Knicks not matching is part of larger strategy. Blocks Rockets from acquiring Dwight. Apparently Orlando's next is Dwight for Amare

I made that up btw..

I just told my mom that and she was pissed. F*ck you lol.

Imagine they do. Then we'll def know that Isiah is in charge.

Exactly, but that is the only way I see Portland going with the S&T, unless they really like Dan Gadz.

He has every right to try and get as much money as possible.

According to Adam's Smith free-market, Yes; but he's advocating to much of christian morality!!

Knicks have absolutely not given Felton assurances that Lin would not be there and he doesn't need them, source said.

We are getting Felton and keeping Lin. No doubt.

Then this new offer a 3 year deal with the first 2 years 5 million then 3 year 14 million dollars that huge jump off salary wish i think lin fault why didn't he want sign first offer i think lin wants to screw us.

Oh man, there was that Melo quote the other day too that was odd.

Jared Zwerling@JaredZwerling
Melo & Chris Paul walked through media room here in Vegas & Melo said, referring to CP3, "You'll see him in NY in a couple years."(smiling).

Melo is more reliable than a bird I guess. :dontknow:

Felton is trash... he's awful... but if Lin choses Hou over NY, he'd be(come) a classic traitor!

LJ4pointplay · Post #378 » by **LJ4pointplay** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 2:04 am

Look, if we keep Lin and ADD Felton, ef it.. sounds good to me. Not sure where he fits, but nothing wrong with depth.

Maybe the Knicks are playing hardball with lin, wait no he already signed the offer sheet . Plus Felton said the deal is done
