BREAKING: Report - Knicks Won't Match, Lin to Rockets

[makeitstop]

Haha. Now every player on the Knicks is a scrub.

The bitterness is thick up in here.

Ben Golliver ‏@blazersedge
Owner James Dolan & front office have plans to meet after Knicks' Las Vegas Summer League game, which is currently in 3rd quarter.

Probably to discuss where Dolan is going to go into hiding with all the death threats he will be getting

[JBreezeNY]

ohnoez, JR is re-tweeting..hes the enemy now!!


pshh, you guys are fkin ridiculous

He is the enemy, JR hates us so we have to hate him now.

Screw Earl.

[ChartFiction]

J.R. is either a dick or literally the dumbest person on this planet lol

[madmaxmedia]

Honestly this seems like no major surprise given the structure of Houston's deal. The cap hit in the 3rd year was just way too much. It didn't seem like a rational thing to match, and that's considering I really like Lin. Especially after getting JKidd and Felton.

All the other stuff- Melo's comments, JR tweets, Dolan getting butthurt- that is all sideshow stuff compared to the nuts and bolts of the deal and cap implications.

[GONYK]

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.

The first job of the PG is to run the offense.

Lin did that WAY better than Felton

[Sprewell4Three]

Michael Kay mentions Kurt Thomas name as a player that can pick up the slack If Melo struggles. I've heard it all now

[RutgersBJJ]

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.

Fact: Lin inspired this team to make the playoffs

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

so, LOL at you.

Fact

Lin is a turnover machine and had nothing to do with the run Melo went on to end the season, which is the reason we made the playoffs. Take away Melo, keep Linsanity, and we do not make the playoffs.

You guys are pathetic. It is sad really. I guess this must have been what this board was like when we let Frank Williams leave?

He also kept his dribble alive along the baseline/in the paint, got into the paint MUCH better, finished better, and had a much better jumper.

Dolan is worth billions

he cant fork over "100 million" to have a legit shot at a title?

There's absolutely NOTHING that Amare and Melo have done together on this team (without Lin) that suggests we can be contenders.

Nothing.

Cool story bro

[K_ick_God]

Unbelievable that the conspiracy theories about Isiah being involved are looking accurate.

You could see Isiah loving JR and thinking Lin is a backup or whatever.

What a bunch of mental midgets. The more drugs JR does and idiocy he spews, the more the idiots in our front office like total morons like JR Smith.

How sad and stupid can you get.

I usually agree with most of your posts, but I think you're really off on Lin.

^advanced stats show that Lin is much better than Felton.

There's no 'the reason.' Both things caused us to make the playoffs.

Or Channing Frye.

They were injured. It was Melo that dragged us in the end.

[Iamphilhughes]

Whose gonna be our 3rd option? Felton? Jr Smith? Pathetic.

[K_ick_God]

J.R. is either a dick or literally the dumbest person on this planet lol

Or both.

[F N 11]

2 things

1. Jr smith is the mouth piece they are using to make Houston think they have Lin then come out and say "haaaa sike we love lin"

2. Lin backstabbed the knicks and the whole team got the message.
