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

If you quit following the Knicks because they don't match Lin, don't come back if Lin doesn't live up to expectations in Houston.

Sad day I have to say. We will regret it.

Are we going to give up this:

For this?

Common sense says we don't. But reports are saying we will. Don't know what to believe at this point.

Is there any truth to this?

All the media trolls are out in full force tonight

But I will admit, the meltdown aftermath is going to be entertaining

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick
Been told the Blazers-Knicks deal is not done and will not be done until tomorrow. Lots of moving parts and pieces.

I haven't seen the news yet. Please could you post where you saw it. Thank you.

It was the commentators at the summer league game this evening that stated it.

It's only a formality though and just delays the time when the Knicks have to respond.

Knick board mods get their season club seats for free so and it automatically renews itself...so sorry, can't not renew.

If Melo had anything to do with this, then I could care less if he were lying dead in a ditch.

It's called Mike D'Antoni's offense. Look at his career before and after NY.

He was perfectly fine in Charlotte in a Larry Brown offense, not that great, but good, he played really well there, also played hard on defense, being a great defender.

If he can get in shape, he's just 28, of course he can, he is better for this team than Lin, cause he plays better D, he shoots better, he doesn't hold the ball that much, he can coexist with Melo, he can play with Stoudemire...

That said, I'll still be shocked if the Knicks don't match the offer for Jeremy Lin.

What happened to the poster who said Isola had sources and was right about the Knicks NOT matching Lin.

yea lets #unfollowisola by posting more of his tweets

How much were you planning to pay? Could you afford it?

I know I'll recieve backlash for this but some of you guys are giving up on the Knicks way too easily on a PG who only played 20 or so games for us. Take it easy. Lin has potential to be great and an all-star but you never know. Crazy things happen to players.

Matching Lin or not, I'll still be a Knicks fan. I'm a fan of the KNICKS not of a certain player.
