Thing is, we were already going to be over the cap, so initially it only hurts in terms of Tax payments. Now, after some posters here have brought up the fact this also affects future deals, it MIGHT make the Knicks really consider the offer. This supposedly would leave us without a few of our exceptions or make them shorter, less lucrative ones as well as negate us the option of getting players in sign and trades.
Simply put, the poison pill is for the franchise and not exactly to keep Lin from us. Suddenly I hate the Rockets as I hate the Heat.
