Maybe u can explain this to me..I know u were pro Dolan matching Houston's offer...Why do u think it's ok to ask Dolan to take a cap hit in the third year upwards of 35/40 mil or whatever the number is..Why is it ok to expect Dolan to take that hit???

he has paid silly tax bills for much worse teams in the past. doesnt mean he should now, however if you thought the kid could have helped... also, the tax bill is speculative. potential roster moves could alter it, and its also possible he will be paying a tax bill anyway.

So as a fan it doesn't matter..He has paid it in the past, so he shouldn't stop now..40/50 mil in the third year not a problem because he would have to pay some tax already?..Or he could trade maybe Amare before that happens??

tell me this - as a fan, why do you care about the cap hit? i don't understand fans who worry about the money side. it's not your responsibility at all.

also, that question implies the lin decision was ever about money. i don't think it was. in this thread people are talking about the stock market implications of losing the kid. dolan will lose many times the amount he would have paid lin before the 3yr deal is out.

once again, dolan is an idiot who didn't make his own fortune. but it's nice of you to worry about his money for him. it's more consideration than he would show you.

Some of you need to turn in your fan card.

Well stocks go up and down for many reasons and usually in sympathy of the general market direction and also people are taking profit given its at it's all time highs..But that said, I try to approach things from a realistic point of view to explain certain people's actions and thought process...So I ask myself who in their right mind would sign an unproven player in Lin when it could possibly cost them upwards of 50 mil in a single season??..I just wonder if some look at it from this point of view, that's all...

fair enough about being realistic.

though it bugs me that people act like lin is what will cost the team the luxury tax - if you trade amar'e in year 3 the team wouldn't pay the tax at all. that makes it a pretty loaded statement to say lin would cost $50M. the tax is on the whole roster, not just lin. is not signing lin the easiest way to avoid the tax? i guess so. shrugs.

So you think Lin is more popular than Michael Jordan, Patric Ewing, O'Keem, LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Paul, Melo, Doctor J, Magic Johnson??
Come on give ma a break. Just 30 games and he is a God??

I been saying this for the past two weeks, the Knicks would have to pay the tax for been over the Cap, not necesarily for signing Lin. Considering that our main three guys will account for more than 60 million in 3 years, even without Lin, I still think they will pay the tax for the acquisitions they just did this summer (Felton, Kidd, Camby, resigning Novak).
If the Knicks TRUELY wanted Lin, they should have taken care of him first, and than fillout the rest of the team with less expensive veteran players.

That's what a smart owner would have done but since Lin didn't fit in Melos "family circle" he had to go. Unbelievable!!!
