Bill Simmons ‏@sportsguy33

After winning over the Asian community with Jeremy Lin, the Knicks now expect to win over fat people with Ray Felton.

How is that a good point? Does adding Jeremy Lin to this roster make the team better? YES.

I'm pretty sure he was being facetious.

ITs over guys, there is nothing out there to suggest we are even thinking of matching.

I dont get the 15 + 30 argument either. If the luxury tax is 1.5x on every dollar over tax numuber. Than wouldnt his 15 million be 22.5 million. Add in the first two years at around 5 million each and the contract really is worth 3yrs 32.5million.

It's tough to shallow as a Knick fan that they wont match a 23y/o point guard who averaged 18 and 8 as a starter, when we gave shandon anderson and Howard Easley 40 million each at one point or Clarence Weathespoon 25 million, or Eddy Curry 60 million etc

Why are people acting like Lin is a very good pg?

Being a turnover machine in the playoffs will get us nowhere.

And yes, I like Lin, but come on.

Are you guys telling me, that if we let Lin walk, and get CP3. You'd be pissed about it?

Like I said many of times starting in thread #1 I think we will match. I haven't seen anything to change my mind.

Aren't you guys tired of these CP3 dreams?

Let's just be happy with what we have.

Yes, Landry is playing for Team Canada. They actually have several current and former NBA guys: Fields, Joel Anthony, Cory Joseph and Andy Rautins (yes, him).

Not sure how Landry would qualify though, all those other guys listed are from Canada, or in Rautins case from a Canadian family.

if you are born to a Canadian parent... even if you are born in the USA.... then you are considered Canadian... just have to apply for it...

plus up until recently that Child could have a Child outside Canada and that Child would be Canadian too...and his/her child too so on and so on .... so you could have a perpetual line of Canadians born outside of Canada....

thats has changed...
