I just signed it, why the hell not.

Did they change it to 10,000. It was at 100,000 before.

Why do that when we have one, convenient 700 page thread to bash them in?

LOL, Amare. We haven't heard his name that much in these threads. I wonder if it's because we've all become trolls and we empathize with Amare's trolling (talking about playing defense, punching fire extinguishers).

Maybe we haven't talked about Amar'e because he isn't talking to reporters about how Lin's contract is ridiculous and that he is longer playing for this team.

Regardless of whether Dolan wants to keep Lin long term anymore, I believe he will understand that from a business perspective, it is best to match him and then get something in return in a trade of Lin instead of just letting him go for nothing.

I was discussing this issue at work and everyone, male or female, pretty much knew about this situation. The fact is that Lin is popular and he will sell tickets anywhere. He is an asset that Dolan should not waste.

Kidd also got sht-faced and drove into a tree. Might need Lin.

did you hear how prigioni's agent said he's only going to get assists while blindfolded and running backwards?! we can't coddle players with outlandish demands like that; obviously he doesn't actually care about ny. what a selfish prima donna.

Just wondering, but didn't Jimmy pay Larry Brown 40 million dollars for him to not coach the Knicks a little while ago?

You know it's crazy when it's been non-stop discussion about Lin...while Jason Kidd nearly killed himself in a drunk-driving accident a day earlier.

This was when Isiah Thomas was giving him advice on everything.

I wouldn't doubt Isiah giving Lin a thumbs down to Dolan either.

I'm pretty sure Isiah hates Lin like SAS does, lol. Dolan has a hard decision to make

Why? Over-paying a guy based on a small sample size seems like a very Isiah thing to do. I'd imagine he'd be telling Dolan to do it.

Pretty crazy that this has completely overshadowed the Dwight Howard drama. I didn't think it was possible.

Meh, 700 page threads are too cluttered. If we separate and sticky individual ones then we can keep our hate organized and properly channeled. We can then even form little hate cliques, I'll start the one for Tyson Chandler. 8-)

NBA Updates ‏@TheNBA_Insider
My source close to ‪#NBA‬ agent @msgsports Robert Montgomery says the ‪#knicks‬ have indicated to @JLin7 that they will match!

Is he credible?
