maketing wise he is a big asset and thats the only reason he may get the MLE

Couldn't agree more. I don't understand why people are so ready to over pay this guy.

I agree with you he still needs to prove some more things but you seem to not like lin that much. i mean i think he is a good player i mean being a fluke is having one good game he had several.

I don't dislike him it's just that he only proved that he had potential in the short amount of time he played. Then he got injured. He is not a superstar, no matter how much marketability he has. This is were this organization always screws it up. The guys has not even played one game back from and injury and we're ready to overpay him? Come on. Plus, there are too many good/decent free agent points guards to consider before giving him money that he really doesn't deserve.

In my opinion, and I know many will disagree, we should be more concern with securing JR Smith than how much to overpay Lin.

We dont need him to be a superstar thats why we pay all that money to amare and melo. we need a point guard who can facilitate the offense and go to the rack which lin can do. I mean the mid level is not exactly superstar money. also JR is most likely gone he will get more than the mid level in my opinion. I just think as a knick fan you would be excited to have a good young pg who can make life easier for melo

Sorry but as I said, I am not convinced. I think their are better point guards available.

He's a very good player, but even if he wasn't all that good, it would still, for any team, make sense to pay the guy. He'll make your money back and more.

Ya I dont think Lin even cares about the money i think he would take less in order to keep novak. As a point guard i like lin's game a lot and feel that it will make life easier for melo who can concentrate on scoring and not having to facilitate the offense

This talk of potential is an example of precisely what Lin said about the scouts who doubted him because he didn't look the part: it doesn't matter how many times you show them you can play, it's just never enough. If by 'potential', you mean mere signs of being able to play but not actually playing well, I don't know what TV screen you have been looking at. If you want to roll out his stats, this is not 'potential' as if it all just some speculative dream that can't be verified. Furthermore, in the case of the Knicks, they are deeply in need of a decent point guard.
