Breaking News....Bird rights have been settled!!!

[knickscity]

This means we have Lin and Novak bird rights, and we don't have to use our mle to keep Lin.

I wanna know what happened though, the language seemed clear as the southern sky.

Great news. A Nash/Lin combo at pg is possible.

If we give out the full $5 million, we end up with a hard cap of $74 million.

So long Landry Fields, and thanks for all the fish.

Or maybe even a Nash/Lin back court since Shumpert will be out to start the season.

I understand the Nash speculation.

However, I dont think Nash is even considering us. I think the NY media & some fans have stashed away this dream of pairing up Nash & Amare again, but without D'Antoni it doesn't seem possible.

Not to mention Nash is a defensive liability, and it would force Lin to SG and he's definetly not going to be able to guard SG's full-time.

we need to split the mle, and nash is not coming to ny

Lets just pray it makes it through the appeals.

Pray people to your gods, get all your lucky trinkets out....!!!!

Great news. Hopefully we'll use the opportunity wisely.

This will be a gift and a curse. Short term we get to spend money. Long term, we are going to overpay both guys and kill ourselves in the future. I was almost hoping we lost.

Lin is the only one that will be overpaid, but that's because he is a cash cow. I think Novak will sign for under $3 million. He wants to be a Knick, and there won't be any huge offers on the table for him since he is so limited in areas other than shooting. 4 years $12 million is my guess for him.

Without them we are over. With them we are over. What difference do you see?

7 players under contract with a BAE MLE this doesnt seem like we would be able to fill the roster if the Knicks lost.
