This has been entertaining but I can't spend my entire Saturday night posting here lol. I imagine that we won't know for certain until Wednesday anwyays, the Knicks will leave the Rockets, Lin, his agent and us fans reeling until the very last second!

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

That's nice but they should tell more about the sign and trade, what will Denver receive for Felton ?

I can see the nightmare : not matching Lin's offer sheet and Shumpert for Felton ! LOL

it seems unlikely with kidd and pablo pepperoni already in the fold.

Yeah, thats the thing. Pablo was promised playing time, right?

The fat one has a history up until this year of at least being an NBA quality player. The enigma is an enigma. As long as we end up with one we're fine. Last summer there were people willing to go with Douglas as our PG because of a tiny sample size when Billups was hurt and a fluke 40% 3 point season. I don't see this as a downgrade, just a horizontal move. It's about whether you would want half our PG minutes to have heavy risk of a player being a fluke, or heavy risk of a player being literally heavy.

Lol. What you said makes no sense. Lin was playing at a very high elite level. Felton played well. Big difference. Huge difference.

Both Felton and Lin performed at the same exact level during their 1 hot month. Felton was 20 and 8, so was Lin. Truthfully I'd rather have neither of them on the team, but we've committed all our cap-space to our front court, so beggars can't be choosers.

1. Original source says that Felton's going to the Knicks
AND
That Lin is not being matched

2. Original source is vindicated by other, more reliable sources.

Therefore, since the original source has proven to be correct, then Felton is going the Knicks and Lin is not being matched.

Looks like it's over, folks.

Or did original source learn that Knicks were not signing Felton, and then assume that they were not matching Lin?

But what sense is there for keeping both Felton and Lin? Felton won't come dirt cheap to us, and we already have two other PG's on the roster.

Would be funny if the Knicks keep saying " Hey we never got the offer sheet ", when they really did. Time runs out and there like DAMN, OPPS, GUESS WE COULDNT MATCH. Our bad

Much has happened with Felton since that one hot month.

Alan Hahn: Twitter promotes instant reactions based on sudden information, but Lin/Knicks scenario demands a little more reporting and less reacting. 2 minutes ago

Alan Hahn: Worth considering: Felton/Lin PG tandem with Kidd spending time as two-guard at this stage of his career as we saw in Dallas so often. 1 minute ago

Alex Raskin: The #Knicks might have more overall talent, but the #Nets are being put together more thoughtfully. Everything fits. Backup C and SF next up 1 minute ago

Your looking purely at Stats. Marbury put up great stats too...

I don't think adding SG was necessary.

I'd still eat a pair of Army boots if Knicks let Lin go.

Not going to happen.

Felton is being brought in to offset Fields.
