No, he called the Houston offer sheet "that ridiculous contract."
I mean, I know Melo probably said it with a smile and it was more like "ridiculously good" than "bad" -- but it's really a poor choice of words.

Honestly, I don't see why everyone is getting so mad about that quote. It is a ridiculous contract, plain and simple. I don't think people should get so mad at Melo for saying that..

No their up in arms about a paraphrased version of that, which claims Melo calling the offer a ridiculous contract
Go figure...
No he actually said that I believe.

Jason Kidd arrested for DWI the morning after learning he's backing up Raymond Felton.
WHAT?! Anyone heard this?

It was the renegotiation that was the killer. The question is why did Lin do that? Looks like he did not want the Knicks to match.
Why didn't he want us to match?

Why are we assuming it was totally on Lin? Couldn't Houston have redid it of their own choosing?

This has to be fake.

The knicks told him they would match than he goes tell's houston to screw us over the same team who cut him wheres the loyalty? out of all the teams to sign with ur going to choose the team who cut you than screw us over an change the contract?.
Let him go to houston i want to see how good he is with out Dantoni, cause mike had felton looking like an allstar too.

He was willing to back up Lin because he knew Lin was a franchise talent and the pg of the future here. Now, if Lin leaves, where is Kidd's mindset? Does he want to back up Felton whom he may feel superior to since Felton really has no backing by the legion of Knicks fans and Lin fans? If Lin goes, I have no problem with Kidd starting and Felton coming off the bench but I definitely wonder about what Kidd has to say about this since he was just recently quoted as looking forward to personally shaping Lin's development.

LeBron took less because there's no state tax in FLA. Read the damn quote about Lin before talking about Melo's comment being hypocritical...
