statistically, Lin is a better shooter, passer, off the dribble and defense.

unless you talking about fitting in with the old and/or fat culture

Jeremy Lin's youth, upside, intelligence, humbleness and winning attitude just wasn't a good fit on the Knicks roster.

Dude, you're trolling, you're not a Knicks fan.

The New York Knicks organization should be thoroughly EMBARRASSED and ASHAMED of what one Daryl Morey has done to their franchise the past few years.

The Knicks are Morey's bitch.

We're the only team in the L that would win a bird right case, and let a player like Lin go for nothing in return.

That is all I personally care about.

Can somebody post our record with Lin, Amare, Melo in the same lineup please. To shut these people up..

They played 7 games together I believe...and without actually checking the numbers, I think they were 5-2 with some heavy blowouts. They looked great together, but Felton never got to play with Melo/Amare and he was more focused on getting his star the ball. It's a debatable concept, the fit thing.

Who knows, but I think there will be less drama.. And I do think Felton and Kidd will "get along" with Melo and Stat better than Lin.. Not that Lin didn't with either before... Whether that translates into a better team - who knows.

Well were you implying that Felton wouldn't be effective finding Amare in the PnR or not? Because that seems like a contradiction to this last post. Felton will find Amare, maybe not others.

And Portland is kind of unfair for Felton. He wasn't happy there from jump, he came in out of shape and unmotivated. When he's been motivated and in shape, he has always been solid...not great, but certainly not bad. I don't like his play personally, but throughout his career...his numbers aren't bad!

I'm straight up saying Felton and Amare did not have this magical connection, and I am also saying that Felton has this tunnel vision in the PnR.

It's similar to the way Duhon would only pass to David Lee. Yea, he found David 4-5 times a game, but that is because it was the only play we ran, and it worked that many times out of 25 attempts. In the meantime, he was missing all the shooters and cutters.

That is the way Felton played when he was here.

Now before the flame squad comes out, RAYMOND FELTON IS MUCH BETTER THAN DUHON. I'm just saying that in running the PnR, he is way behind Lin.

I'm way past hating the Heat. The Rockets are the new Heat. The Heat just beat us on the court. The Rockets robbed and raped us in the alley.

If it wasn't for the imbecile who said "Knicks will match anything up to a billion dollars", Lin would be a Knick, still.

Bill Simmons ‏@sportsguy33
But seriously - any time you can flip a 23 year old asset/fan favorite into a washed-up 40 year old and a fat guy, you have to do it.

Great, lets go Knicks, win a championship!

Lin didn't want to be here we didn't have to suck him to him after he signed off on the deal the rockets changed. He wanted Hous. Hope he ends up being a scrub.

They're paying him 25m. You expect him to say he hates it there? Grow up for God's sake.

I know it's not intentional but you are the best at owning.
