another Lin thread filled with no useful information #6

[mpharris36]

For making a statement that could be taken out of context, when all he had to say was, "No Comment."

easy for you to say sitting on a computer. Athletes have to find a fine line of talking to the media and just keeping quiet. If they keep saying "no comment" they get labeled as a fraud and un-willing to talk to the media. If they speak there mind they get ridiculed.

I really think people read into those comments way too much. He probably didn't even know what was going on and a reporter said "how do you feel about Lin getting 15 million for the last year of his contract"....anyone with a brain would have a first reaction of "damn that is ridiculous"

no?

Melo: "It was ridiculous for them to do what they did, as far as throwing that out there and making it tougher on us to sign him back."

Happy? No? Of course not.

lol Melo's way of apologizing, some more babble.

But accepted.

I'll take it.

Not this sh*t again

I can see it now:

"Melo what do you think of Lin's contract?"

"No comment"


CARMELO REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT LIN

[Knicks80_20]

Happy to see Melo clearing things up. Should make this thread a little more palatable now.

Why do people think Melo doesn't like Lin? "I don’t know. I can't worry about that. Ask Lin he’ll tell you what a good relationship we have"

i don't know who rod boone is but he gets melo to talk. he must give him food.

F*ck the media.

[AmazingJason]

LOL, Melo really should stop talking about anyone's contract situation...it just never looks good, esp considering everything we gave up for him and how we paid him...

[GONYK]

Not one insider including Berman, Isola, Iannoazone, Hahn have said that the knicks are even considering bringing back Lin. All insiders have said its pretty much a done deal he wont be back.

That doesnt give me hope!

Literally none of them have said that.

What has happened to reading comprehension in this country?

This is what I meant by Melo not being media savvy. Should have said this from the start. But I agreed with him anyways and didn't think he meant it as a bash against Lin in the first place. Stil, if he had said this from the beginning, there would have been no confusion.

No. He doesn't have to say those exact word. Maybe he can say something like, "I don't comment on other player's contract situations." Then that would have been the end of it.
