this. why not sign him and then trade him. couldn't we sign him and trade him in January? why get absolutely nothing for both him and fields?


Not only that but cater to a bum like JR freaking Smith. This franchise really ticks me off, man. It's all coming full circle. I don't think Isiah ever left this got forbidden franchise. Grunwald, Woodson, Isiah..all these dudes are close...
remember that dinner?

Isiah is the man behind the curtain..

The only way this will ever be over is if Lin craps out in Houston.


I could be wrong... but I've watched a ton of basketball and I don't think he is. I was buyer before Linsanity and I'm even more of a buyer today. Oh well..

Honestly though I'm not even mad even though I was so optimistic I'm not mad or angry. Let's see how Felton & Kidd does

This just doesn't make any sense. After all we've been through for the past decade, still selling out the Garden every night, and now they repay us with this? It's just so sickening, I feel like I'm in a bad dream.

This is the kind of thing I would do If I was an owner but Dolans isnt cool enough to do that

simply doesnt make sense to let an asset go for nothing. could have traded him for a prospect of a scrub and a pick. just let him go for nothing?

Lin will have a successful career without the Knicks. I'm glad he's leaving this failure of an organization.

I am not sad about Lin leaving the Knicks but I wouldn't want to be James Dolan walking around NY either. Guy is going to get nothing but heckles, boos and ish from NY'ers.

Cool. I'm ready to move on and see this team come together and find a true defensive identity.

When I look into your eyes I can see a game restrained
But Jeremy when I watch you, don't you know I feel the same? yeah
Nothin' lasts forever and we both know teams can change
And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November Lin

It was never about the money. This was all about ticking off James Dolan.
