Would everyone be freaking out if we did the same trade for Foye or Dahntay Jones?

Felton replaces Fields. Its not that serious. Lin WILL be matched.

Even if Lin asked not to be matched, I say **** it and piss off the Rocket's.

So when honest questions were raised about why Knicks pursued Nash and whether Woodson wanted Lin, soft Knick fans revolted. Now what?

Yes, it does take two to tango in a sign & trade. However, I don't see why the Knicks couldn't have orchestrated a S&T for Augustin using Jared Jeffries and Dan Gadzuric as trade chips...D.J. Augustin is a far better player than Raymond Felton.


whats the motivation for CHA to do that?


Easy. A 2016 2nd Rd Pick...

It makes no sense to use the last of our scrub contracts on a guy that will replace our starting PG. We needed another guard.

RT @TheKnicksWall: If the #Knicks don't match Lin's deal, Iman Shumpert will be the only player on the roster under the age of 25.

That's just wrong in so many ways.


Woodson is definitely getting the veteran team he's always wanted.

IMO, we're still matching Lin but it sucks to lose Jeffries. He was a glue guy like Chandler.

Mavs only played 2 guys under 25 all playoffs in '11.

He thinks Felton instead of Lin makes sense. Good work there Isola.

He hasnt made any money in the nba yet...

Carmelo refused to sign here outright when he was a free agent wanted sign and trad so he can get more money and costs knicks good players


Nobodies said anything about Lin being greedy for about 40 pages.
