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

[No-Man]

yeah, i don't get the felton hate. he was good for us for the most part. had some bad habits with the poor shot selection and freezing out gallo, but he was overall a boon to our team.

i'll hate the move if it's to replace lin, but felton is really nice depth. this is a guy who was considered one of the better pg's in the league when he was with us.

we can use this depth to play melo at the four and squeeze out amar'e if he refuses to get his act together ...

I guess we forgot about Michael Andrew D'Antoni and the effect his system has on players' statistics.

Look at Felton's career before and after New York. Mediocre at best and downright awful last season.

Guys like you are for real? I mean... you're not on drugs right?

Man... Felton was a top HS player, well the best in fact, a top college player and a champion, and a top5 pick in the draft, he also was a really good starter for a PO caliber team before D'Antoni.

What was Lin before Mike D? could you please tell me?

[ORANGEandBLUE]

I don't know but it also only says he loves the NY fans, what about the team/organization? Doesn't clear up much.

Lin didn't not mention the team. Marc Spears did it.

he was decent enough in charlotte and denver. last year was hard for him, but portland was an extremely slow team.

i am not saying he will be an all-star for us, but for $3 million/year he is a good piece for us.

[Sky_Knicks]

Least this team wont take any crap from any other team while there on the court

Right. Because the addition of literally the fattest guard in the league and the oldest active player in the league changes our team's entire persona.

Yeah because skinny as$ lin and rough and tuff Fields are real enforcers.

Did you see Lin back down from any rough play last season ? Wtf

[Jay10]

guess jeremy said, "f the 4th year team option, give me 3 years ($25M)"

[putiger78]

Prigoni is an afterthought, collateral damage. Prigoni can take the offer and stay as the 15th man or he can go back home and start... or we can do right by him and trade to a team that needs depth at PG.

Prigoni is not a factor here. He was a nice guy to have as insurance... he was never a lock for any rotation minutes.

He wouldn't have signed if they told him they wouldn't play him. They did say they were going to give him playing time.

Once again, he is an afterthought. He is not a factor in the Lin situation.

[Drun53]

Lin played MUCH better under Woodson than Felton did this past year. Small sample size, yes, but Felton has a large sample size of mediocre play post D'Amtoni.

[unabashedFan]

The Knicks were bitter because they told Lin the club would match the original offer and Lin apparently shared the information with the Rockets, who decided to raise it. The free agency started off with acrimony on July 1` when the Knicks decided to let Lin set his market value instead of making him an offer.

**** ingrate.

Are you serious? Is Jeremy Lin your slave? FOH.

Knicks FO in damage control. They've been telling EVERYBODY they were going to match any offers for Lin. What "secret" information did Lin have to provide to the Rockets? LOL.

[SonOfMars]

The only player movement im supporting is #tradestat

[AmazingJason]

Just f*cking match. You do realize that the the Knicks will be cursed if they let Lin go? NBA basketball wouldn't feel right anymore in NY...

[GetItDone]

When is the deadline to match? Sunday?

We will match.

If not, I will post a video of myself eating my own pubes. Don't worry, we will match.

[Knicks80_20]

season stats are14.6ppg 6.2 apg. I like how you rounded up though

19/9 were his stats as starter

18.2 ppg 7.7apg and 4.7 turnovers per game are his stats as a starer.

Very interesting rounding you have going on there.[/quote]

It's cute how you're arguing that Lin posting 18.2/7.7 in his second season is actually a good reason to cut him out. If any of our others rookies did that in his second season we'd be hanging on to him for dear life, but now that Lin's done it, it's time to bring in Fatty Felton to replace him? I'm a Melo fan too, but your hatred is pathetic.

[Mr_Perfect]

Lin played well under Woodson. He took over the 4th quarter of the Philly game, and that was a huge game for us. We looked GOOD with Stat, Melo, Lin, Chandler all together in that small sample size under Woody. I would've expected more of the same if we kept the core together.

Thank you. Summed it up well. Lin still proved he can play even after D'Antoni left.

[Kidknick!]

If Lin does go, i will be glad to see the Jeremy Lin fan brigade go to Houston too.

Give the man a chance to prove everyone else is overpaid.

[AmazingJason]

Guess what guys?

I really think both Melo and Woodson had a say in this. Melo doesn't want to share the spotlight with Lin and Lin is not a Woodson-type PG. You know that once Felton comes here, he'll be treated like JR Smith.

Jeremy used what the knicks said and asked the Rockets to up the offer. Basically saying, "Oh, you're going to match anything? Okay, more money for me then."

man... it's so hard to explain things for you guys, it's been horrible all night long, also my english is terrible and I can't write properly, damn! this is so frustrating..

This. Lol at using the stats where Lin was still being used as a garbage time bench scrub by Dantoni.
