I don't get this Dolan grudge angle trying to villify Lin.

Jeffries was the most loyal Knick and they traded him away to the Blazers.

"Thanks for your loyalty, but goodbye."

Whether you like it or not, I think 90% of NBA scouts and GMs think Lin is a question mark and the amount of money he's been signed for is 'ridiculous". That's the reason why they didn't match. In the end, this was a basketball decision. Whether it was the right one or not, we'll see in the future.

Every question at camp and leading into the season would be about Lin.

A bunch of delusional fans. I say lets see how this turn out before bashing this organization and the decision. What if Lin doesn't produce in Houston... then what??

Lin didnt restructure the deal, Houston did, Lin then signed the new offer under the impression that the Knicks would truly match it.

yeah, JR isnt the brightest guy but I appreciate that he loves the knicks. JR may be more emotionally stable compared to some posters on this site though

Im telling you, Its either he is a crazy HATER or the knicks are playing a game with the Rockets.


you think it ain't over yet?

How can anyone take JR seriously?

Supposedly, he's broke.

Of course he's going to come out and say that he deserves more money.

The guy is a big fat zero. Actually he's a skinny zero. Ray Felton is a fat zero.

Lin will be good in Houston and Feldton will be good in New York.

Lin gets his money and the Knicks get to upgrade the back court for cheap. What else is there to say. Everyone wins.

As a Knick Fan since 1991, I am glad the circus is over. As a Lin fan, I am glad for him because nothing ruins a person more to live in the city.

Dunno man. He's pretty dumb. I love him, but Nugs fans consider him hopeless. Does the dumbest **** - like saying he'd be jealous of Lin. Props for taking less money, but stfu about Lin getting his.
