Robert Silverman: Sorry if I’m being dense but was that sarcasm?

No, I am serious. I wanted them to trade him while his stock was high because I didn't think they would be able to match the offer to him. I figure lets just get something from him now because we won't have his early bird rights. I do think he is a flash in the pan. I don't think he will ever play at the "Linsanity" level again, maybe for a game or two he can, but that aint worth 25 million. Not sure why they didnt offer him something right away like they did with Novak. That told me something about what they think of him right away. I don't know what it is, but something tells me this is the right move. No wait, I know what it is. It was his awful play against Eastern Conference playoff teams and how poorly he fits with the rest of the roster. I think he kept himself shut down so he wouldn't be further exposed against Miami and cost himself more money. Maybe I've become a cynic after all these years of following this team.

Knicks front office is now officially on the hot seat. If they don’t advance far in the playoffs this year and Lin plays well in Houston, they will hear it over and over again about this decision – probably a lot more than with the Melo trade.

And guess what, they didn’t have the balls to announce this during the stock market opening hour.

Knicks will re-sign Lin but not for the reason you think. All of this marketing hype around Lin’s legendary revenue-generating capability was just a smokescreen concealing the real mother lode. Our FO just shot an air ball on Grant Hill for the umpteenth time. Do y’all realize that had we signed Hill we would have had 4 of the 5 oldest players in the league on our team. I’m sure we could have then signed-and-traded a youthful Bibby to Miami for Juwan Howard to then be able to put the 5 oldest players in the league on the same team on the court at the same time. Bah, who cares about a chip when you can etch the Knicks in stone in the Guinness Book of World Records. The 56yo Dolan was clearly targeting the most profitable demographic of all: wealthy Baby Boomers. What a surefire financial bonanza, like taking Camby from a Kidd. And just some minor tweaking to accommodate the strategy: Knicks go from the Orange and Blue to the Orange and Blue and Grey. Alas, signing Grant was once again too big a hill to climb so Knicks will now have to fall back on Lin.

BigBlueAL: Beck tweeting that decision has been made and Lin will be a Rocket.Odd considering the MSG broadcast right now is talking about all the reasons the Knicks should keep Lin.Very odd.

It's almost as if MSG was run by a fucking moron.

Hahn/Breen/Clyde have spent entire broadcast so far basically talking about how and why the Knicks should keep Lin. This whole this is just so odd.
