Woodson basically said, "I can't talk today.".....

Good.

[Brooklyn_Yards]

let's place the blame where it really lays. it's that damn asian lady reporter's fault. nobody wants to see her ass at msg no more.

[richardhutnik]

is there a board i could go to where people like both lin and melo. i didn't realize i had to throw up a set in this bitch.

Team Jacob till my casket drops. Hoover duece nine trey piru Vamp killllaaaa!

I'm with Team Abe... end to all the blood suckers!

[xclearscreen]

The knicks not matching is gonna bring a ton of heat down on Melo, Amare and Woody this season.

no, the heat will come down if they don't perform.

BTW- for people doubting Lin's potential, why did he make the TEAM USA Select team? Here's the roster:

Named to the 2012 USA Basketball Select squad were:
Ryan Anderson (Orlando Magic / California);
DeJuan Blair (San Antonio Spurs / Pittsburgh);
DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings / Kentucky);
DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors / USC); Derrick Favors (Utah Jazz / Georgia Tech);
Paul George (Indiana Pacers / Fresno State);
Taj Gibson (Chicago Bulls / USC);
Gordon Hayward (Utah Jazz / Butler);
Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers / Duke);
Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs / San Diego State);
Jeremy Lin (New York Knicks / Harvard);
Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors / Washington State); and
Wall (Washington Wizards / Kentucky).

Not many 'bench players at best' on that list.

How many of them are getting paid 15 million in 3 years?

Ummm... quite a few will earn the max when their rookie deals are up. I would say the average salary over the next few years for everyone on that team is above Lin's average of $8m a year.

question for the cap experts:

can ny and hou do a s and t at all after a offer sheet has been sigend?

Mike Woodson declined to answer any questions about anything involving the Knicks.

The MSG media lock down in full effect.

I see you're taking my comment & running with it, you deserve a cookie.

I didn't even need to. The list speaks for itself.

Opinion equals fact now?

now you're just baiting. calling it a "lie" implies that your opinion that he isn't is fact, too, you know.

anyway, did i miss something? are we definitely not matching now?

If he is sharing an opinion that he may not believe in, it is a lie.

And if you're calling me baiting, I'm responding to a post that had zero to do with you.

i am calling you baiting. and your post wasn't aimed at me. i don't see what the two have to do with each other. i agree with you that it's silly to call for woodson to come out and call lin an all-star, but your comment was equally if not more ridiculous, and usually you're better than that. hence, baiting.

No.

I think Lin will be matched; even if there is a plan to make u push for CP3 come February deadline and Lin wont perform on a higher levels; still we'd have other assets to make a deal, while giving Lin another chance to show what he can. And I dont believe that would be difficult to move him in his final year. There are always teams that need expiring bad/big contracts!!

and all of those players who will be earnign that money have already started more thn 25 games. none of them are getting that kind of money this season are they?

[Greenie]

This will be our starting lineup opening night
Kidd
Lin
Melo
STAT
Chandler

Book It


Houston can kick rocks. And then when they strike out on Howard we can turn around and give them Lin for the price of picks, young players and taking STAT's contract. The end.
