I'll just know that they're all getting their comeuppance. But there will be nothing to see here and I'll just be able to walk away knowing that you can't invest in something that has nothing to give back.

Knicks would be proving that they don't have a clue. And Melo will be targeted and end his tenure in miserable fashion, rightly or wrongly.

Raymond Effin Felton. Unbelievable.

You spend a lot of time worrying about Melo....its Lin vs Dolan. Lin signed the offer sheet and now its Dolan chance to match or not. Melo has nothing to do with it

But but but Melo said the word ridiculous.

When you're trying to contend, letting a useful player leave for nothing is idiotic.

what did the knicks give up to get him?

Please tell me this isn't the line of "logic" you intend to pursue

That would be one of the most uninspiring teams to watch.

Can't do it.

Right there with you. I almost want us to NOT match Lin so I can be freed from this rotten organization.

Very uninspiring but i'll still watch. I believe that the Knicks still will compete with out without Lin.

Yeah, like any of you guys are actually going to stop watching. Not buying it for a second, sorry.

You view on the Knicks turned 180 in quick fashion. What happened to you?

You picked up a suitcase of cash on the street, because you didnt give up anything to get it, so you are willing to give it away?

Common sense

That's not even my point. Hopefully Melo lived up to his statement yesterday and is asking/begging Dolan to keep Lin. And that Dolan wants to and will.

Melo can help and probably cause Dolan to match if he wants it badly enough (whatever that is).

My point is a solid prediction: Melo and mostly Melo, with some Felton, will be miserable at MSG. Fans will take it out on them. And maybe JR too. The whole team. People will be deflated after losing Lin and they will be looking for an enemy. I know this with every cell in my body.

The hatred is going to come crashing down around Melo and mostly Melo. Fans were already booing him early last season when they felt he was holding the ball too much. Now with the "ridiculous" comment and the sheer depression of losing such a fun-to-watch story like Lin ...

Melo is going to pay ... and pay big.

Can't do it.

Add: Ability to keep Stat young and JR from chucking shots to Lin's skill set.

But... But... We'll have awesome geriatric depth. The Mobb 40+'s will inspire me as well as all the AARP Knick fans all over the world.

Of course, we'll be watching. Don't think for a minute that the drama is ending with The Decislin. If we don't win, it'll be drama all season long.

That's how I feel and I know that I'd be at the end of any hope. I'd be mentally incapable of caring because I'd know that the team is stuck and dead in the water.

Next stop would be getting a great player in the draft but that's probably not happening in our lifetimes. And then Dolan may just ship him out for a vet.

Knick fan on indefinite leave.

Mighty Unlikeable? Which parts don't you like? What if Lin doesn't turn into an all-star this season? Are you going to be happy paying the tax and not being able to get any bench players to help out? (Devil's advocate)

Personally I think they should match Lin (cuz I agree with you), and should have matched fields as well.

Fields was worth every dime the Knicks paid him just for this one play:

Anyone know what call the ref made? Who am I kidding, LeBron gets all the calls. Right?
