[Marty McFly]

AL LIN.

Jeremy Lin clock did eventually, officially start tonight after all the, uh, delays. NYK have until 11:59 PM TUES to match on Lin. Or pass

[knicksosmoove]

maybe they plan to trade amar'e (who will be an expiring contract) before 2015.

Common sense says we don't. But reports are saying we will. Don't know what to believe at this point.

although i agree with you..this is the most unfair post ever made

I know. I'm just too pissed right now to give a damn about fairness.

Whether Lin is here, or he isn't, I feel good about this year.

First I am hearing this... but OK.

Jason Quick: Been told the Blazers-Knicks deal is not done and will not be done until tomorrow. Lots of moving parts and pieces. 1 minute ago

Tony Mejia: To clarify, sources had said DH to #Rockets all along. Lin murks up matters, as would Asik. Neither been matched. 6 days from now, we'll see 1 minute ago

THE DECISION ft. Jim Dolan

PART 2

[BeagleBoss]

All you guys hating on Felton need to stop. He averaged 17/9 here and was the second best player on that Knicks team - better then Gallo and Chandler.

It's called Mike D'Antoni's offense. Look at his career before and after NY.

He consistently averaged 12-14 ppg and 6-7 apg. Felton is not Howard Eisley or Jamison Brewer. He's a solid player and shouldn't get hated on like that. Heck, Lin will likely put up 12-14 and 6-7 type of stats next season.

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS
Knicks have acquired Raymond Felton and Kurt Thomas from Portland for Jared Jeffries, Kurt Thomas and 2016 2nd-round pick, source confirms.

Oh. Of course.

I really think Grunwald starts off all of his negotiations like, "We'll give you at least one second round pick along with...," or "Is he pushing 40? Yes? Let's make a deal. How about a second round pick, a non-guaranteed contract, and..."

Hou. pulling a NY Jets here, signing him for marketing more then playing ball.

You will be the first one i laught at when lin average 20 and 10

Lets bet, thats not happening.

Cool. Did he excel afterwards ? Take that great year and expand on it ? What year of his career is he in ? Is he known for always being in great shape and ready to play ?

[vallen]

I have read on the Houston and GB forum that the rockets will pay 8/8/8 per year for Lin while we have to pay 5/5/15

Is there any truth to this?

thats what i read. unless it was another fake tweet....

It's called Mike D'Antoni's offense. Look at his career before and after NY.

He was perfectly fine in Charlotte in a Larry Brown offense, not that great, but good, he played really well there, also played hard on defense, being a great defender.

If he can get in shape, he's just 28, of course he can, he is better for this team than Lin, cause he plays better D, he shoots better, he doesn't hold the ball that much, he can coexist with Melo, he can play with Stoudemire...

Felton is an uptempo PG. We just fired D'Antonio because his uptempo style didn't work with Melo. Do you really think Felton is the ideal PG for this team?

Plenty of time?

What does it matter if the decision has already been made?
