Because Lin = Fields, amirite?

Both contracts are a joke.

Note I said "this deal".

Correct, but only one player is worth taking it on anyway

We'll soon find out.

And the same people were saying that Colangelo couldn't pull the Landry offer after Nash went to LAL because it was agreed to verbally and he'd be breaking all sorts of unwritten rules.

I'd say they should sign him and then try to trade him after a year or two if they don't want to pay the price of third year.. But his value is at a likely all time high right now.. And that'd be taking a pretty big risk. Though at least you'd probably get something back for him..

Or...they are getting Felton at a discount and can never have too much talent when you are pursuing a title?

He didn't say the Knicks shouldn't match
He did say he wanted Lin back
He said the contract is ridiculous which it is...

If you agree with what Melo said or not it has no barring on if the Knicks will sign Lin or not. Should he have not made the comments?? SURE But again they have no barring on if the FO matches or not. So I do not understand the blame Melo for the Knicks not matching comes from?

It isn't fair to blame Melo for this, really.

Is this twitter's fault or the result of his college education?

No matter what happens, picking up his deal is the right call.

Whether we do it or no remains to be seen.

Listen Jeremy wants to be a Rocket, so let him. I would not match that contract either. Or I would sign him and trade him to Houston later.
