I wont go to another team. I'm a New Yorker and I always will be. But I have lost faith in this team ever since Dolan took over and I have very little confidence that this team will ever win a title with him in charge.

Can't believe this poll is as close as it is. What is there a bunch of asian bandwagoners on this board now as well? We're getting CP3 next year.

NYK 4 LIFE.

Out of principle

Dolan is screwing this team

He spends 100's of millions of taxes when Isiah was GM PlUS paid 40+mil to Larry Brown who barely coached

Then he Overpays again when he got involved in the Melo screwing us over in players and assets

now

We get a player who was paid 700k who reportedly made the team excess of 100 million dollars. And now he wants to be be fiscally responsible?

We lose our youngest player and possible championship contention over money 3 yrs from now?

It just don't make sense , Lin will pay for his own salary ven his sucks or is average

Probably not but if Lin ends up being a complete stud in a Rockets uniform I would really really suck.

Is there a way we can see who voted no? So we can ban them from the board.

I find it pathetic how fans can get so attached to players. Are you rooting for the players, or the team? What's even more sad is that Lin isn't even OUR player. We didn't draft him, he hasn't led us to championships, and he sure as hell isn't a seasoned Knick. I can understand getting attached to those kinds of players, but jumping ship over Jeremy Lin is inexcusable. Do us all a favor and stop rooting for the Knicks now. We don't need lukewarm fans like you.

Man I really would've loved to see how this board was during the Decade of Irrelevance, Relevance :lol:

From KnicksGod severely disappointing me as poster today to people losing their minds on that Melo ridiculous contract quote, I just can't :rofl:

I'm a Lin fan, so yeah, I'll be gone. I don't understand Knicks organization. They say they want to win but they don't dish out the money to compete for the win. If the Knicks are over the cap regardless of signing Lin, why would you not want to get the best talent available? It doesn't change your cap situation and he comes off the books along with everyone else in year 4. It's mind-boggling, considering Lin might've been the piece that pushed the Knicks over the top against the Heat, along with Kidd. Now it's just a "What if" game.

At some point you have to wise up and overstand where your going !

I can understand it. After a decade of garbage, it's the last straw for some...

For TKF, it was Melo...he understood early on...

If youre even thinking about stopping being a fan because of this, then just leave now. Goodbye to the bandwagoners. Hope you dont come back ever.

Being done with an entire franchise that you stuck with when Marbury and Francis was our backcourt

And suddenly, jumping ship because we dont re-sign a PG that we've only had for 25 games?



Logical.

and this is why people find Lin fans so annoying.

They can't fathom that the top player in all of high school his recruiting year, a top 10 pick in his draft class, and a starter for his entire career could actually be the better player than the guy not recruited, not drafted, and who bounced around the league.

Lin fans just started watching the NBA for him. They don't remember Flip Murray's fluke run. They don't remember Darren Collison's fluke run from just 2 years ago. They just don't get it.

Money has never been an obstacle. If Lin isn't matched it is because the team thinks Felton is a better player.

Idiocy is signing bad contracts, not declining bad contracts.
