Rockets found loophole that would cost them $8 million on third year of Lin offer sheet and Knicks $15 million, source tells Y! Sports.

How the heck do the Rockets only have Lin cost them $8 million, but the Knicks $15 million?

The luxuary tax for that year I think is 1.5 dollars for a dollar.

Stop acting like we're comparing Westbrook to Anthony Roberson. We're comparing two borderline top 20 PGs.

People need to learn from the mistake Indiana made buying into the Collison hype. Felton has a huge sample size of being mediocre and a small sample of being really good here. Lin has no sample size and a small sample of being really good here. I know at worst if Felton is in shape he is an average PG in the league. YOu don't know that about Lin. And that is the dilemma.

With Kidd's advanced age, and Pablo's advanced age, it may be much safer to go with the proven mediocre player over the possible all-star possible 12th man.

The probability is highest that both are mediocre players. Unfortunately Andre Miller in his infinite wisdom decided to take pennies on the dollar to return to Denver. So we are stuck choosing between two huge mediocre question marks.

Felton has never, in his entire career, put together a stretch of games like Linsanity.

Wow lots of conflicting speculation out there (I am guilty as well). Going to have to let this one play out.

#Knicks say they still have not received the Jeremy Lin offer from Houston.

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.

let the speculation reign on

Knicks close to sign and trade for Felton.

Knicks board melts down -- fear we won't re-sign Lin.

People try to convince themselves Felton is "good" LOL

In the end, Lin will be a KNick.

I don't understand the club's infatuation with Raymond Felton is... as soon as he left D'antoni's system he struggled and his numbers were worse than before he entered it. As far as playing time.. they must've told him there were minutes at the 2 for him.

I don't like it.

Bet you if he advised Dolan to trade Tyson Chandler for Andris Biedrins, he'd do that too... damned if I know why, but Zeke has some sort of strange hold over him. Maybe he's a witch?

Exactly. Where's Felton's $30+ 3-year offer?
