AlmostFanatic: I’m confused as to how he overplayed his hand. The Knicks did not make the kid an offer. In fact the Knick’s were the ones who wanted to wait to see what kind of value the market would place on Lin. So then when they decide they don’t like the value the market set, all of a sudden he’s an ingreat for making the right move? What the hell did they want him to do, sit and hope he’d get a contract?

its not that hrd. they publically stated that they would match the rockets offer. in other words, the market had set his price. however, lin wanted to suck out every dollar he could. that is his right. however, it proved too much for the knicks to match. now he is in houston instead of madison ave. he will be on a losing team instead of a winning one. he will be the lead man with a bulls eye instead of playing a more complimentary role. hes going to crash hard, ts not because he is not good, but he is not suited to be the main man over a season. untimately, the knicks will move on but i dont think lin’s career will ever be taken seriously in houston. all over an extra 5 mill, where he could make that sooo easily in endorsements in ny. im not a dolan fan. im not a melo fan. but i’ll be happy that the knicks for once make a decision other than throwing money at things. bext thing you know we may start saving our picks, etc

i will be upset because logically, this move makes no sense, but not nearly as upset as I was when we traded Gallo.lin, unlike Gallo, overplayed his hand and decided that being a knick was not that big a deal.it was his right, but im postive he will regret trying to squeeze out every dollar.he needs ny a lot more than ny needs him

StatsTeacher:
Just wanted to thank Knickerblogger for being a GREAT place to go after Knicks games this year.Stumbled here after the Lin NY Nets game and the quality of the “Quick Reactions” ,incredible.Such great analysis and writing—inspiring.I’ll still buy League Pass and check on the Knicks occasionally just to try and wrap my head around the meth ride that the Knicks are.The Rockets have a VERY intriguing roster right now. And I gotta keep tabs on GS too.Knicks drop to third place for me, but I will still see some Knicks games.

Ditto
I tried to join the fan club fan but this idiotic management makes it impossible to cheer any longer
The descision not to match for Lin and instead offer a contract to Felton is the last straw for me.
I will check in here from time to time
You die hard Knicks fans deserve better.
