To do what every athlete does STFU when someone asks you about a contract negotiation concerning another player.. is that not easy enough to comprehend?

That's not how you are coming off. "Lin saved the season, so Melo should bend over" is how you and some other posters are coming off.

When Lin is matched, come back and revisit some posts in these threads.

Again... to STFU when he's asked about another players contract... that's all I've said.

If he did that, it's simply be "Whhyyy isn't Melo supporting Lin" ----> "Melo doesn't care if Lin is back" ----> "Knicks aren't bringing Lin back because of Melo" -----> "Thanks Melo for Lin not being a Knick"

Knicker I've been a sports fan for over 25 years... avid.. and I watch all sports... horse racing, boxing, golf, soccer, tennis... you name it... I ain't no rookie. If he would've said "It's not my place to talk about another players contract" I, because I've seen it, and know that is the standard answer all athletes give would not have even paid it any attention. Now I can't speak for anyone else... just me. That's the only thing that rubbed me wrong... it's not that big of a deal for me... it just made me shake my head and think.. damn Melo you should've known better than that because I knew what would happen and it did.

Knicks matching Lin - Guessing Competition

Take a guess on when Knicks will match, I'll write your user and time down. If you're right, you win and your prize is the joy and glory of winning.

I say 9:30 PM

Grunwald said the courier accidentally dropped it in the sewers, so there is no way for him to reach it.

I hope it's not Melo stepping out of the line of fire though.

If Dolan wants Lin back, done deal right?

This was prolly all BS -- I gotta stop doing this to myself.

Even though Melo shouldn't have said it, we all agree that the contract is ridiculous.

8 mill per year for Lin is fair value.

Too bad it isn't 8 mil per.

Does anyone think, Knicks dragging this out on purpose, because THEY LOVE the attention, and they think the P.R. with a happy ending, is good for business?

The loophole is ridiculous. Knicks should be allowed to pay 8 million per year, instead of 5,5,15.

But everyone knew it was coming.

To be honest, it's probably more that the organization is incompetent than anything, lol.

Of course that last year is... but Melo should have known better. That's why all guys should study how Tiger Woods and Derek Jeter handle the media. Flatliners... stock answers.. short and curt because they don't chum up with any journalists because they know they're all snakes and parasites. But for some reason these dudes in the NBA like to act all buddy, buddy with a snake like SAS.

If we match and Houston is left with Toney Douglas as their starting PG next season, I'm hailing Grunwald as the craftiest mofo of all time.

If we don't, he's dead to me.

Frank Isola ‏@FisolaNYDN

If Knicks don't match credit Betman of the Post. If Knicks match, BOTP still gets credit. First brilliant thing he's done....he picked both.

:lol:

Without the loophole, the team wouldn't have have been able to match if we didn't win the bird rights.
