JR is retweeting that Lin is gone while watching the game with Woodson and Dolan

What more evidence do you need?

they are reconvening to make the calls and to make it official.

I'm sure it's a spin control preparation meeting. PR damage control.

Melo was fat and injured, that doesn't equal decline..

Dolan is just another rich kid with self-esteem issues that uses his money to buy friends. That's really all it boils down to. He let Isiah RUN THE FRANCHISE INTO THE GROUND because they were "friends". Lin didn't want to be his friend and now he's willing to run the franchise into the ground AGAIN.

Im starting to think that Lin did some messed up stuff on the low.

your roster is comprised of:

1. a 40 year old woman abusing drunk driving pg
2. a thug from jersey that douses women with water in clubs, gets into "incidents" there and is suspended by the team
3. a pf that talks all day long and goes missing in the playoffs b/c of a dunk in practice and a fight with a fire extinguisher
4. a $20+ mil franchise SF that had the knicks gut their entire team so he can get his moneys

outside of shumpert, every single knick player is on the decline. melo is in his prime.

multiple year contracts to 40 year olds.

as a fan...i mean a real fan, what exactly has kept you watching this team?

my goodness man...the guy that paid luxury for jerome james + steve francis decides now is the time to stop?

Melo's definitely on the decline. His athleticism and lift isn't what it was two years ago. Still has all-NBA talent, but I think we have seen the best he has already (08/09).

James White?

LMAO WTF?

Probably to brief all involved of the plan going forward and what we'll do about the two guard spot. Hoopshype reported that there were "one or two minor moves" left to make to the roster.

We could just sign Lin for a boatload of money in three years. By then he'll be a free agent, and the contracts for Stat, Melo, Chandler, Kidd, Camby, etc will all be up. Don't burn those jerseys yet!

In all seriousness, its disappointing. As a season ticket holder, the Linsanity streak was amazing and I wanted to see more of it. The only thing I can compare it to was being there for LJ's four point play.

Let's just focus on Lin not Melo's fat ass on decline, we don't need this to derail bro.

LOL at Lin being a better PG than Kidd or Felton. Better scorer sure, but anyone saying he is a better PG doesn't understand the first job of a PG is to protect the ball.

unite for what. This team doesn't have heart, chemistry, selflishness.. THis is a dysfunctional team.
Last year said it all about the Knicks, until Jeremy Lin saved their season.

Huh? really so that last month of the season without Lin & Stat meant nothing..but 2 weeks in the middle of the season means everything? people really need to buck up man.. we still have our core & a good team with depth ...i know u guys are emotional right now but don't jump ship only to come back with a grudge when we're winning...

Obviously jr would tweet something like that. He wants attention. Don't believe it.

The Asik, Lin contracts will not impact talks with Magic, per source. Talks on trade for Dwight Howard have taken those deals into account.

rockets can burn in hell I hope they lose out on dwight and spend the next 20yrs in the lottery

For what? they didn't do anything.. they just saw a player they let go and regretted letting go and wanted to get him back.

for starters- beating us in the finals.

I'm sure the clearance sales will go full force now:

well he was really unselfish towards the opposing team, allowing them to take the ball from him so easily.

Nice

I bet Chalmers is pissed...now he can only look like a defensive beast 2 times a year instead of four. Failtons lard ass at least can handle pressure in the backcourt, no different than choosing between 9 plates of breaded chicken wings or 15 plates, he can take the pressure.

Fact: Lin inspired this team to make the playoffs

Fact: Melo and Amare wouldnt couldnt have done the same themselves

so, LOL at you.
