*Felton traded to the Knicks. Knicks not matching Lin?

[magnumt]

Felton can play some SG people, as well as JKidd.

why are all of you so depressed about the possibility?

Lin is so overhyped, Felton is by far the better player, Lin isn't going to be a star, at best a nice back-up PG.

Get out.

Knicks bluffing to get Rockets to pull the offer sheet?

kosmovitelli told me that it is possible but all three parties have to consent (Lin, Rockets, and the Knicks).

Woodson already declared Lin the starting point guard. There is no way they aren't keeping him.

[Jay10]

The Knicks could just be making Lin sweat. Or they really don't believe he is worth the contract. You have to wonder because it's already been reported that Woodson has been critical/cool on Lin whenever the subject comes up.

he already signed the contract with the rockets. he couldn't care less if the knicks matched or not he's still going to get his $15M in year 3 of his contract.

And dont forget Yao Ming's (hidden hand) there!!

during an interview he said he speaks to Yao after every game.

[SonOfMars]

No one believes that Lin is more overrated than ME

However, Felton over Lin is just a bad bad decision...

[Besart19]

And maybe its a three way deal sending C.Lee or K.Martin to Portland!!

man. what are you ever talking about ?

Im very unhappy with this rumour; but i'll be even more upset if its true that Lin prefers Hou over NY; Yao Ming over Carmelo Anthony; Texas over Mecca; greed over loyalty!!

The Knicks are considering signing UFA Raymond Felton and letting RFA Jeremy Lin walk to the Rockets, a source close to situation confirms.

hahaaha wtf are we doing really what

This is what I was thinking. KNicks are already low on options for SG, maybe they are just going to try Felon at SG??

[Red Vines]

Lin is better than Felton, in my opinion. But neither one guarantees a championship. There are a lot of unknowns about Lin while it's known that Felton is good/consistent IF in shape and focused. Then figure in that Felton could cost several millions less than Lin and you might have what the Knicks are thinking about.

Did not see this coming.

If Felton gets in shape and leaves his chucking at home, why not?

Lin was exposed by Miami and teams that played him physically. Also coming off a knee injury and questions about his effectiveness in a non- D'Antoni system. He can't really defend 2's and his jumper is questionable to pair him with Kidd in the backcourt.

What is true is Felton has always been on the radar as a Plan B for both Nash/Kidd but also Lin. Still don’t see Knicks letting Lin go.
