Exactly! And everybody blaming Dolan and the Knicks. All parties are wrong, but it starts with Lin for me.

Agreeing with what hes saying right now. LIN is the reason this happened. Probably did not want to come back to NY

Where are the quotes from Lin? I like how Bucher has the "sense." Don't believe it until you get quotes from Lin.

Plain & Simple "It's all about Business"

What part of this don't people understand...

Problem is, anyone who is either a friend of the I-hole (Isiah) or the D-hole (Dolan) is automatically suspect in business - and that who we have in charge of this team, I-hole flunkies.

Only reason I am somewhat disappointed in the decision because I was looking forward to seeing what would happen when they all played together a full season with training camp. It was an exciting thought to think about what might happen. In the end, ill get over it tomorrow

You will get no argument from on this theory, as it is as plausable as any other theory..

Not really about quotes though. Its about actions. Going back for more money and signing the offer sheet is enough action. He knew that would make it hard for the Knicks to match. He did what he could to get enough money for him, and there is nothing wrong with that. Still dont think he wanted to be back.

Just like Anthony wanted the Knicks. But I didn't see Denver bend over and just let him walk...

You guys are going crazy hahaha.

You guys are on NBA TEAMs board.

#KnicksNationAllDay

Enjoy Hou Lin.

If Felton plays close to the level where he did previously in NY, then we got ourselves a squad boys!

See this why i was saying the Knicks as a whole felt portrayed ..something happened ..maybe Lin was talking to Yao & wanted Houston...

I'm in. Let the kid go.

It's killing me how so many people here are dumping on the whole damn team over one kid who maybe didn't even want to be here. Typical.
