Yeah and even Beck is leaving wiggle room.

Anybody find it odd that this is happening so early?

Plenty of time to go.

I think they might want Houston to withdraw the offer sheet. Calculated bluff?

Small chance left. Don't give up complete hope until the last second. But it's looking awful.

Just an unacceptably atrocious decision and one that will haunt this franchise for a very long time.


Agreed on the fact that I'm still doubtful this actually happened so soon.

The Knicks shall feel the wrath of Lin for many many years to come.

Knicks-Rockets at MSG will be a zoo. I would recommend Knicks play good winning ball entering that particular game. And Dolan not be in the building

Anybody find it odd that Dolan is sitting at a summer league game and somehow he's simultaneously discussing the Lin deal? Is this definitely over?

I guess the handwriting was on the wall with the Felton trade, but it literally makes no sense to not match.

Even if you don't want to pay Lin, just trade him next year....

Seriously --- I'm over it.

Hoping we can add a solid SG.

I think you're clinging to straws here. Houston can't withdraw the offer sheet if it's signed.



Yes they can if Lin consents.
