Yeah I want to read the post-mortem. But I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can hear that will make me forgive Dolan and the Knicks for this.

if we exit the first round again,

the vitriol that I will spew will be relentless.

Amare/Melo never meshed the last 2 years. All of a sudden I'm supposed to believe Felton and Kidd are the solution?

Lin is the only thing that inspired this team to win.

Like I said, this decision was an easy one for them and was decided a long long time ago.

Well put... in the end most of us are just inclined to blindly follow.

after a grieving period, i hope the mods handle this differently. even if that means removing some mods. i don't want to have people 6 months from now claiming all our players suck and talking up the rockets every second. i really don't want to go through that again.

Im not an "Im done" with management type of guy but dammit... this kinda sucks the air out of the excitement in the summer.... i am and always will be a knick fan but dont ever get that confused with being a fan of the owner.... hes a damn idiot

yes im a knicks fan who enjoyed jeremy lin... i mean cmon after the product they put out their during the isiaah years.... i was starting to get pretty fed up with the team... it was pretty pathetic

things did start to turn around once we finally set the ship right and got Amare
then last year was the most excited I have been for this franchise in awhile... since I thought we did have a legit shot at championship and then the whole Jeremy Lin taking over the NBA was once in a lifetime

I really was liking this whole offseason between Kidd (though i was hoping for Nash) and Marcus Camby cuz we were gonna get some vets and really push for a championship while having a young up and comer in Lin with Shumpert not too far behind him
but dam... when we got felton and kurt thomas I was still hoping they were going to still match Lin but as the roster stands it looks not too great... we pretty much have a very OLDDDDDD team... we got no young guys.... essentially the only young guy we have is Shumpert and hes not back til January

i really hope we dont end up regretting this but ill def be the first to boo raymond felton if he doesnt provide us solid numbers out of frustration for felton over jeremy lin (especially if he lives up to his contract and potential)... either way def not as excited but we do still have a championship contender so Ill still be rooting for em

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

We are going to regret this having to watch Lin blossom into a really good PG and we will be saying if only we had matched he has so much potential

My apologies for any time that I was hard on you duetta. As a fan, you want to keep your hope. That's all it was. Nothing personal. As it turns out, you were just ahead of me and ahead of the curve. I've caught up though, real fast.

The New York Knicks may have reached a decision on Jeremy Lin, but they haven't contacted his camp.

Dolan is too much of a coward to make the call himself.

That's one thing you've said that I can agree with.

Looks like a really special talent.

Too bad he'll be traded for a broken down Dwight.

Woj picked the wrong time to take a vacation.

So let's just have a group of mods all with the same positions and beliefs? There's certain mods that let certain trolling go (and even engage in it themselves, they know who they are) if it's a position they agree with. But if it's a position they oppose, they reprimand the poster.

Making the "Rockets tracking thread" once the season starts and will hype them up :lol:

Definitely not. That should not be allowed and won't be allowed. You have the right to follow and root for the Knicks in peace and we'll make sure that happens here.

I'll be looking forward to watching Felton's conditioning progress?

Just be glad Lin isn't playing for the Nuggets, or Houston isn't trading for Gallo next.
