Knicks will not match offer for Jeremy Lin

[niko]

There are fans of the New York Knicks in Brooklyn that will be irate.
Fortunately for them, they will have another hometown team to root for.
See the connection?

No, but you also claimed racism so im thinking you know noting.

[AlonzoGOAT]

But I don't get this owner Lin revived (brought bandwagoners) the knicks and instead let him go. Knicks are even getting worse

[AlonzoGOAT]

This could be potentially the last straw for Knicks fans. Knicks fans have been disappointed time and time but I think this time could do the trick. Plus, Brooklyn is closer to NYC than New Jersey is anyways so Knicks fans could just shift on over to Brooklyn instead now.

Either way, Knicks are the dumbest organization in the NBA w/o a doubt if they don't match Lin which is looking like it.

Enjoy Raymond Fatton at PG.


Brooklyn, which is in NY.

forgot I'm a nikka

Niko, for our flights to Houston, do you prefer Jet Blue or United Airlines? I'm taking the window seat.

Aisle, i hate flying, looking out the window bothers me.

this is dumb. after a decade of shit, they have put together a playoff capable squad with star power these last 1.5 seasons, but somehow the fans are gonna desert them for not matching lin?

[Linspired]

let's all LOL at those who blame Lin. wouldn't you leave a $100k job in NY to work for a company that want you and will pay you $150k in houston? why wouldn't you?

making 25 million in houston is actually alot more than making 25mil in NY. living expenses, taxes, and etc. and houston has a strong chinese fan base. he will have no problem being a marketing machine if he continues to play well. and you bet Lin has a chance to shine in rockets more so than NY because let's face it. knicks are melo's team. i don't know if Lin can thrive with Melo & amare.

and don't forget Lin is a strong christian. maybe he is kinda tired of NY media.

They were irrelevant with or without Lin

Yes, to cheer for the Nets who have as centerpieces Brook Lopez, Deron Williams, etc. - players who were centerpieces for the enemy for the last few years.

[SCREWstonRockets]

Major downside here is that I was looking forward to the Rockets maybe changing their logo and jerseys, but I doubt that now that they have another Asian phenom to market.

I don't get it? Is the current logo and uniform designed towards Asia/China?

Loyalty both teams will get first round exists hopefully

I like this article by Aldridge. He's right. If Lin sucks, then trade him in his third year or they can waive him and stretch out his contract.

If he's good, then he is worth the money.

2 years at 5 million per season for a starting point guard is a bargain. It isn't good value; it's excellent value.

If he is a star player, then keep him in his third year. If not, trade or waive him.
