Yea, thats just about what I thought. Dolan lied because he wants to paint Lin as a money grubbing glutton who is only out for himself as opposed to just a player who did what the Knicks told him, "Get the best deal and we will match."

I gotta say, thats pretty slick of Dolan.

Can we lock this thread, Martin? Too many posts about the same crap, over and over again.

This is actually new info. Whether honest or not, it contradicts the info. that has previously been posted. It sounds like you guys just don't want to see info. that's unfavorable to your views.

just sounds like lawyer double talk to me....ok, Jeremy can truthfully say that 'he' didn't go back.....but, can he say that none of his representatives went back? Or that the first offer shhet did not exist?

just an aside from another article - “it’s not any secret” that Shirley Lin “is running the show,” when it comes to the business interests of her son. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/new-york-marketer-fears-hard-sell-jeremy-lin-houston-rocket-article-1.1117415?localLinksEnabled=false

It probably didn't exist. When the rumors for that offer were going around, it was before the free agency period and Houston couldn't have written an offer sheet.

i remember it differently. Didn't Fields get his offer sheet and sign it before the Lin sheet was reported?

That doesn't mean there were actually two offer sheets in existence. Lin might be doing some spinning but I doubt he's flat out lying.

ok wait, just looked it up...it was during the moratorium. Much as I hate to post a berman artice..the dates and everything are here http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/sources_knicks_will_match_jeremy_UiWmQy0rzKmQCNrv94gn5J?utm_medium=rss&utm_content=Knicks

"Rockets general manager Daryl Morey presented Lin an offer sheet late on July 4 — calling for $5 million in the first year, $5.2 million in the second year, then backloading the deal with $9.3 million in the third year and $9.3 million in the fourth, according to a source. Yesterday, Lin’s agents tried to negotiate a guaranteed fourth year."

Same story from a day ago. Every newspaper, Post, Daily, Newsday, ESPN. "I let Linsanity get into my head" interview with San Jose Mercury where he says "I didn't ask for more money". Same **** different day. Why must we keep recycling the same threads over and over again.? Lin is gone, deal with it.

wtf, another one. LOCK THIS SHYT

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

I didn't see another thread with exactly this subject, so I don't think it should be locked. It might have been mentioned in passing in some other topic.

However, if there is another thread where this was discussed extensively, then it's helpful to post a link to the prior thread. That will help posters who want to discuss that topic go to the right place. Also, this will help the mods identify duplicate threads and lock them (their choice to do so or or not, of course.)

The negativity about Lin is all spin by the Knicks people (Dolan) to paint the kid in a bad light. I think that they never intended to resign him, otherwise they would have offered a contract for what they thought his value was.
