Jeremy Lin's Contract Saga: Part VII

[GONYK]

if we resign jeremy lin he wont put up 25ppg and 10apg. I would be happy with 16ppg and 8apg with 50%fg and 36%fg from 3

There's no doubt that Lin is the best pg we can get right now. Dolan needs to decide if he's worth 100million though

Where did that number come from?

Lin Logic: Match!

Insider so can't read the details but Coon says match.

That's racist.

Why millions when he can make thousands?

I miss posting on realgm. Fact is I enjoy reading you guys going nuts. Honestly i hope to God that the knicks have this under control. At this point I honestly don't care because the knicks can never stay out of drama. Mike Woodson said we would definitely match and he will be our starting PG. Why say that if it is not true?

I want to believe that we are just milking this too. But Woodson said those things before the new contract was offered

Yea, who knows the full story. its either

1. We match and there is drama in the locker room
2. We don't match and Knicks fans go insanse

lol, either way Dolan has to resolve this lol

[frogfood]

Stop referring to Lin's third year as $14.8M and call it what it really will be...$45M+ because of the luxury tax. Realistically, his contract is like $55M+/3 years. Is Lin worth $18M/year? I don't think he is.

This is so dishonest.

LOL, it's 3 years, $25 million. Forget about poison pills and luxury tax...they don't count. Unless we have some kind of under-the-table assurance from Paul and letting go of Lin somehow helps us get him, then we have to match Lin.

The fake apology did ramp up my annoyance level a bit.

You can determine the veracity of someone's apology over the internet?

I'm soooo offended right now.

[Falstaffxx]

The initial comment I made was all of 3 words. "That's pretty offensive." The fake apology did ramp up my annoyance level a bit.

Why do you insist it's fake, man? Geez. He said some pretty offensive s*** but you can't chase him to the ends of the earth for it. How do you know if he's truly repentant or not?

Anything that starts "sorry if you contrued..." is a fake apology. I really don't care if he's repentant. But it annoys me to see this fake manipulative stuff as a follow-up. I'd rather drop it, but people keep asking me questions

If its contents make its fakeness clear, yes.

[AmazingJason]

Ok guys, I did the calculations. Lin's actual contract value is 3 years, $1 trillion. No worries, though! Unlike other teams, we are allowed to print money. So it's fine

Yeah this is on Dolan.


If we don't match and he dares trot out Grunwald to take the abuse I will call him out as a coward.

16/8 is possible but the FG% is way too high.

[suicidedeuce]

What's new?

Possibilies the "Stretch Provision" could save Dolan from the huge Tax hit in yr 3. If Lin busts he could be waived and the money can be paid out in the following 3 yrs.

That's NOT new.

KNicks have known about this all along.

Only the media and fans are just now considering this option.

Which is what some people have been saying ALL ALONG.

Knicks knew of EVERY scenario a LONG time ago.

Which means they were preparing Lin's exit since a LONG time ago.

Just hug it out, guys. If Lebron can find it in himself to hug it out with his dad, then you guys can get over this, too.

[Dantares]

I am sick of the Rockets always owning us in trades. Just match the offer to screw them over so they stay in mediocre zone and get another lotto pick in the 10-14 range again.

They won't be mediocre. They're a bottom 3 team.

Well Parsons and Lamb look like they are studs but yeah they have no bigs now.

I think he knows.
