I know you're not trying to be offensive, but I beg to differ. Saying things like "well it's not as offensive as..." or "at least he didn't say..." is a lazy and dismissive response.

Would you let someone off the hook for calling someone a "m*d" or "c**n" because it's "not on the same level as the N word" ?

I don't want to seem like I'm lecturing about ~~social justice~~ on a forum where we're supposed to have fun. In an ideal world, that wouldn't even need to be an issue.

Sorry, this stuff usually bounces right off me but today is...taxing.

I'm running the car, you can jump on, or be my enemy, that's my thought on this

Felton is a bulldog, he can be our leader, he was an absolute BEAST in HS, LeBron level, he has the pedigree.

He was a half season wonder. He may turn out to be good. He may turn out to be the undrafted, d-league player that he was before linsanity. Regardless, no way he is worth 15 mil for one season.

With or without Lin, I like where the Knicks are going. It has been a while since we had a team we could be proud of. If you are a Knicks fan then support your team. Stop crying over the unknown that is jermey Lin.

that's not my issue... i don't think lin will even become elite. i think his absolute best case scenario is a solid starting PG. with that said, it doesn't make any sense to not match the deal and trade him later. he is an asset. letting him go for nothing is idiotic in my opinion.

i'm not capologist or expert on the new CBA... but unless matching severely hampers the knicks ability to make moves in the future, whether it be dumping amare or trading lin, then i don't see why he won't be matched other than it being a personal thing by dolan which is again, idiotic.

I don't think that people understand, with Lin AND Fatten, we have a better Championship chance, than just with Fatten. If anyone thinks that Knicks improved by adding Fatten and subtract Lin, then so be it.
What's sad to me is that we could have had them BOTH. Harvard learning from one of the GOAT.

Now we have Fat learning from Drunk.

Jeremy Lin once pee'd in the gas tank of a semi truck as a joke... That semi truck is now Optimus Prime
