There have been plenty of regular posters knocking Lin. And this is a big story – we’ve drawn in plenty of new posters that have expressed their anger over the situation, it is only natural we get new posters on the opposite side of the issue.

SomeThings fishy here. There seem to be a lot of names that I haven’t seen on this board before, and they’re all trashing Lin. Something’s amiss here.

2FOR18: Not sure what will work, but I would take Lin/Howard/ruru/jon abbey/owen over felton/JR/melo/amare/chandler

yeah, you would lose, unless my role was to play earsplitting noise CDs in the hopes of incapacitating the other team.

2FOR18: Seriously, which starting line-up would you rather root for: Felton/Kidd/melo/Amare/Chandler or Ty Lawson/Afflalo/Gallo/Faried/McGee I would bet anyone whatever they want that Denver has a better record this coming season.

I don't know if Denver will have a better record, or fare better in the playoffs, but I agree that their team is the kind of team I'd rather root for. That is a fun team. I'm not jumping ship for another team, I'm just sort of detaching myself emotionally from Dolan's organization and I'm going to try and enjoy fun basketball where I can find it. Maybe the Knicks can play their way back into my heart by playing beautiful basketball with lots of ball movement (and players moving off the ball) or something, but if Melo tries to hero his way through this season and into our hearts it's not going to work for me. It might make Dolan happy, but he has shitty taste in basketball apparently.

I want to point out that Dolan might have decided to be cheap when the new CBA was signed, and decided “$X millions are the most luxury tax i will pay”. And with that in mind, they thought Felton / Kidd / Camby is a more complete package than Lin.

I am starting to welcome the idea of Felton running the point; he was very capable the last time he was here. I think we made the wrong decision with Kidd, but he might still play 15 mpg at the SG. And Camby is gonna be a good backup to Chandler. And perhaps, Lin is just gonna be an average PG …

To bad Howard nay end up in LA since he is saying he will resign in the summer if traded.

By the way, I totally blame myself for getting excited over the possibility of the Knicks having three All-Star starters next season with Lin, Melo and possibly Chandler. I jinxed it!

Martin would have to go to make any trade work. Heck, I think Patteson would have to go, too.

It would be more like:

Lin/Parsons/Turk/White/Howard

Nobody outside of NY and ruru takes the Knicks serious. Though I was surprised to see Houston’s odds. Somebody must know something about Howard/Turk going there.
I guess a Lin/Martin/Turk/Patterson/Howard line-up is more formidable
than Felton/Kidd(JR)/melo/Amare/Chandler
