we're gonna have a big season with or without him.

For the millionth time it's not about all that crap. It's about letting him go for nothing.

True or false: He has better PG skills than Raymond Felton

I'm talking about distribution, PnR, finding open shooters and cutters etc...

Wait, butthurt people are leaving this board because of Lin? Dolan screwing up again might not be such a bad thing after all ...

Damn, Lin is now playing in the west, making more money, and no one to pass the ball to, with big salary there is big pressure look at the guards he has to defend on the regular in the west;

Curry, nash, westbrook, paul, and parker

If this goes through hopefully we can come together as a TEAM and not everything be about Linsanity. Im hoping Lin did something to piss off the knicks to ease the pain and just make the team just play ball.

Truth hurts. The knicks are a joke. I've been a fan for over 20 years. But this org is a joke.

Thats your call and if it is something you want to harp on and on about then maybe you should actually do something about it and vote with your feet aka support another orgainsation which you don't dislike

I'm not gonna support another org. I just wont' support any org. I don't see myself being a fan of another team...

Thank you jeremy for your 25 games of LINSANITY. wish you nothing but the best (except for when you play my knicks. as i root for jersey')...unfortunately, i think a steady diet of these western conference pgs, will bring some sanity to your game.

dallas - COLLISON = sanity
denver - LAWSON = sanity
G.S. - CURRY = sanity
lac - PAUL = sanity
lal - NASH = sanity
mphs - CONLEY = equality
min - rubio = equality
N.O - rivers = linsanity
okc - WESTBROOK = sanity
phx - goran dragic = equality
prtlnd - linsanity
sac - brooks = equality
SA - parker = sanity
UT - = linsanity

Some of us don't want to continue to support this owner.

No choice other than to go root for another team. Is what it is.

Do you think if Lin joined CAA he'd be a Knick now?

I hope the cable deal is retracted for not matching Lin. I want Dolan to suffer finacially for this. I wanted him back because he was 23 alone. A PG to grow with. Sorry but Felton and Kidd arent the future. Yea, I understand were in win now mode but with no forseable draft picks, and we wont be in lottery anyway. Where are we gonna find young potential.

I think it was a terrible move not to match, but only time will tell.

I see two guys getting paid more than him in that 3rd year and another guy making just as much as him. We don't make the playoffs last year without Jeremy Lin. He still has a lot of upside. We're losing one of our best players and definitely our most popular player and for what? Absolutely nothing. Our offseason has been abysmal. We've signed three players that are on the verge of retirement. I hope I'm wrong but it wouldn't surprise me if we don't make the playoffs next year.

I said this earlier, GOOD LUCK!! I like him but if it turns out he back stabbed the knicks then I dont mind seeing him crumble.

Yes. Because CAA would have been experienced enough to not come at Dolan with multiple offers. They'd have gotten Lin 4 years and $40 up front and the Knicks would have been ok with it.

Not for nothing but whoever is advising Lin (i.e. his agent) really didn't do a great job IF the goal was to get Lin back to the Knicks. If it was getting LIn to the Rockets...then BRAVO!

General board might be a good place for you then. You can whinge about the Knicks all you like there, you'll probably find a lot of support there too.

I won't even be mad if we dont make the POs this year, would just show even more how incompetent the FO is at personnel decisions.

That's not the only choice... There are others.

Well that is a shame. I just hope he's bust for Knicks sake.
