I just want it to be known that I'm 100% neutral on this.

Re-sign or not I'm content. I'd be more worried about figuring out what the hell we're going to do with Amar'e.

At least ibraheim718 didn't call for the assassination of Dolan. A lot of stupid fans are catching feelings right now.

He loved his best friend too... where'd that get him? 6 feet under.

You crossing the line. A life was loss and you making jokes because of Lin?


I'm making a point to not defend or prop up a guy who's irresponsibility cost his friend his LIFE...

Now how the hell is that a joke??????

Disagree that Lin didnt want to be here, he wanted to be here no doubt, he thought Knicks would match and now he's on siberia.

Yao sold him on Houston and Lin ate it up.

Hope he has fun as he sees Kevin Martin chuck up shots worse than Melo down in Houston :lol:


lol, grats to Lin and his 10th place Houston Rockets!

If the reports are true, it is totally talent related in proportion to how much that third year will actually cost.

Even Dallas let Steve Nash walk, and after all these years....who has the ring?

What some people fail to realize is that we are the NEW YORK Knicks. Not a big market, but probably the biggest.

It will ALWAYS be about dollars and cents. Dolan or not.

In hindsight, it is ironic that winning the bird rights case probably cost us Lin. Probably not, actually. Our FO still would've been able to find some other excuse for not matching.

Felton was their man.

Losing Lin comparable to 9-11

Dolan death threats

low blow shots at JR for his friend dying

smartest fan-base? I think not.

Very great hearted people do stupid things sometimes. JR is a knucklehead but it's not like he strapped him into the car and said "HEY BUD I'MMA KILL YOU!".

I heard lots of stories of really good people just making one poor choice.

The Knicks board is an embarrassment. People are really showing their true colors.

Cuban acknowledge that was the biggest mistake he ever made. Bad example.
