If the Knicks don't match Lin, it's also because Lin doesn't want to play in New York.

i don't give a f*ck. match him and then trade him in a year then.

I dont know what to think of all of this. Its exciting and its sad. Im disapointed yet intrigued. If Lin doesnt want to come back then he can leave.

If Knicks don't match Lin, this will go down as the worst move in Knicks' history

Felton-Kidd-Prigioni
Shumpert-Smith-Diebler
Anthony-Evans-White
Stoudemire-Novak-Witherspoon
Chandler-Camby-Thomas

This team will rock 8-)

Nothing was crazier than the actual Linsanity stretch.

As said earlier, Rockets think there is a chance that Knicks won't match on Lin. But we don't know if NY has even received sheet yet. Crazy.

Who is the one holding up us getting the sheet?.. I was out all day. Not sure of the protocol

We're getting it Monday. 72 hours from then to match.

I hope we match Lin, but if not, see you later Jeremy

I'm very pleased with the Portland deal. We massacred them. Jared Jeffries has value. Gadzuric doesn't even play!!

Kurt Thomas is one of my favorite Knicks ever and Raymond Felton played GREAT for us in 2010. I'm also pleased we got 2 stashed euro players as well.

This is an A+ deal, any way you look at it. Great work by Grunwald.

Sorry... we don't win in that situation. Our title hopes were riding on Lin being a special transcendent player... if he's not part of the program we ain't winning ****.

If we match Lin this may be an asset gathering by Grunwald to go after CP3........

25th February... when the amazing happens!!

Tommy Dee: But it is clear to me that Lin won't be on the #knicks based on my last 5 conversations... 2 minutes ago

Peter Vecsey: What's the earliest date the Knicks can re-sign bound-to-be-bounced-by-Blazes Jared Jeffries? 2 minutes ago

It just gets worse and worse.

I'm talking about a personnel move.

Tyson/Camby/Kurt
Amare/..../....
Melo/Novak/White
Kidd/Smith/Shump(inj)
Lin/Felton/Pablo

I think we could make the backcourt work minutes wise:

Kidd(16)/JR(26)/Ray(4)
Lin(26)/Ray(22)

Because NY KNEW he would get more on the open market...we had the ability to match anything offered. Most we could offer was the MLE. It was in Lin's best interest to go seek an offer from another team.
