“He is the face of their franchise – believe it or not,’’ Anthony said after Friday’s practice. “He came up, they paid him. Now the ball is in his hands. Now he’s one of the franchise players over there. I don’t know what you want me to say about that. I’m happy for him, excited for him to see how it’s going to turn out over there.’’
It’s no secret the chemistry between Anthony and Lin during “Linsanity’’ in 2012 left a lot to be desired, and the dynamic came up again last month when former Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said on a Vertical podcast Anthony didn’t “adapt’’ well to Lin’s rise.
“That was five, six years ago, bro,’’ Anthony said. “I forgot about that.’’
we're both irrelevant this season

Paradise wrote:"Believe it or not" was a small jab. I think Melo is just a little annoyed that Lin is back in NY because he knows the drama that Linsanity brought with his relationship with D'antoni, Jeremy, media perception, etc. I recall he said Lin's poison pill deal with Houston was "ridiculous". Then, he said he meant it in a endearing way. If he doesn't want any unwanted media attention then he should STFU.

The Nets fans are the first to dismiss anything bad forecasts the media has for the teams, are the first to eat up the clickbait headlines. Melo's actual quote is actually well tempered. I know Nets fans want to buy into our fake rivalry with the crosstown team, settle down it's only a preseason game, nothing to fuss is about.
Clippers and Golden State have beef - they're both playoff teams in the same conference, they've both had physical altercations on the court. The Nets and Knicks were lottery teams last season- the beef between them hasn't been real since KG went to Minnesota. We haven't even faced them in the playoffs for over a decade.
I understand a rivalry with the Craptors or even the Celtics. But the Nix?
Far more excited to see Isaiah Whitehead rekindle his MSG magic.
