here i'll kick things off.

while i think melo is definitely a cancer who can't win a playoff game and should be traded at the first available opportunity, i applaud him for forcing lin off the team, since lin's a selfish disloyal flash in the pan who can't play defense and is significantly worse than the fattest guard in the league in every respect. paying $300 million dollars for him (i did the luxury tax calculations myself and i think that's what it'll come to) is absurd, but i'll still go root for the rockets if we don't match.

James Dolan has released a statement to the media. The audio was uploaded to Youtube.

Probably about $30M of market cap. That's Lin's and mini-Eddy's contract.

Didn't the market as a whole dip today?

time to have sold the stock was on July 5th... when Rox made the first offer.. stock was 39 bucks then...

a short sale at these levels is risky if Knicks match

Better then Felton of last year, but not better then Felton when he was with the Knicks

Dude calm down. Felton is garbage. Stop justifying this stupidity at the fear of losing Lin. He's not leaving. The Knicks are not stupid.

you must have just recently become a fan

Yes, Landry is playing for Team Canada. They actually have several current and former NBA guys: Fields, Joel Anthony, Cory Joseph and Andy Rautins (yes, him).

I don't understand why we would let him walk.

They won't. Because they can make that back and more just by having Lin. And it's not like he was bad. He's certainly better than Felton. So he'll make you money and he's the best PG you have. Why would they just let that go?

So why all the hysteria, and 7 threads of 100+ pages?

Seems like it's a wrap that we will resign him.

Realmatic · Post #779 » by **Realmatic** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 1:11 am

the amount of attention the lin is getting worldwide now should be one of the primary reasons why the knicks match. This guys is more talked about than the best player on the team. Says something....

Not sure how Landry would qualify though, all those other guys listed are from Canada, or in Rautins case from a Canadian family.
