He is better than Felton/old Kidd put together. He is actually a force to be reckoned with out there in Houston. Lin/Harden = best backcourt in the NBA.

Imagine if Lin were still with us? Lin loves New York. He loves the Knicks. Imagine Lin and Carmelo together just tearing it up night after night.

I don't know about "tearing it up" but we definitely chose the wrong horse by miles

Hindsight is 20/20 - when Lin allegedly got his deal offer changed by Houston to something the Knicks didn't appreciate, then emotions took over.

Who knows what really went down but it was bad on both sides. If Lin wanted to play here, he would be here. If the Knicks wanted Lin as their PG he would be. Unfortunately it didn't work out and we still have PG issues.

Trading him away would have been less bad. We let him walk away.

Lin isn't even all that. He still can't shoot.

But he definitely can get to the basket better than anybody we have at that position, and believe me this would do wonders for the Knicks considering the amount of threes they like to take. I guess Lin’s contract doesn’t look “that ridiculous” anymore as someone claimed last year.

That definitely doesn't justify replacing him with Felton! Anyway, you can see his percentages by location compared to the average PG.

He's a bit below average on the perimeter but quite good at the rim. He gets twice as many good shots off per game as the average PG near the rim and hits at a good percentage. He's capitalizing on that strength effectively. It's OK for a young PG in his first full season to have areas to work on. He also has many strengths that he'll likely continue to refine.

I basically typed the same thing (and added some stats) at the same time!
I could see Lin creating a lot of open shots for Novak and Novak helping spread the floor for him to penetrate.

Creating open shots for Novak, For Melo (especially when he plays the 4) and Stat down low, for all his reputation as a scoring point guard, Lin is actually more unselfish than Felton.

If Lin could become consistent he would be an all star in the future.

I agree with you. People need to let it go. This is the Knicks they will always leave your head scratching because they do everything half ***ed. Best scenario would have been keeping Lin and hiring Phil Jackson. It's to be expected of the Knicks, they have been fooling the fan base for years now. It's like Ewing never getting that second superstar in his prime.

With the Heat playing the way they are it's like the 90's all over again good team but just not enough to put them over the top because the organization making dumb decisions that back fire.

yeah let's get over this. he's better off with the rockets playing for an organization that actually has a vision. he can't play with melo who needs to have the spotlight in ny. and think about the animosity in the locker room with guys like JR.

This is the kind of stuff we needed in the offseason especially from the media who sways Dolan. Unfortunately everyone was focused on how "2010 2month stretch Felton under Dantoni" was a better PG than Jeremy Lin.

Unfortunately, they didn’t realize that it was D ’Antony who made Felton look like an All-star and he was no longer here.

he would have had 20turnovers by himself against the heat. He's gone, get over it already. Are we going to have to see a Lin thread every time we lose a game. Bunch of freaking woman and bytches asses posting on this board. I'm fuking done here

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

Did MDA "make" Felton spiral to the crappy PG that he is/was before the trade to Denver?

No, Felton was and is a solid ROLE PLAYER, but there is no question that under MDA he looked like a near All-star caliber player.
