I guarantee you we keep Lin.

Felton, Kidd and Lin will all share minutes at the 2 until Shump is back. Not the worst thing in the world to have as many PGs as we do who can play minutes at the 2.

Gadzuric
2016 pick not even sure if we can trade this pick cause Denver has the better of it?
2016 2nd round pick
Rights to our euro players
Jeffries not sure if we have his early bird rights, he played 1.5 years with the Knicks since rejoining late in 2010 after acquiring Melo

next person possible is Iman Shumpert....

We could also S&T any one or combination of Bibby, JJ and Baron as long as they agree to go.

how so? we don't have the early bird rights on Bibby and Baron though. We signed them both to 1 year vet min deals.
Unless the appeal on Novak changed the CBA...

We might have JJ, but I am not even sure with him because he joined late in 2010 after being waived by Houston, making him 1.5 years here at best.
We didn't claim JJ or Baron off waivers, we signed them to contracts after they cleared.
We need 2 years for early bird rights?

This is a Dolan move.

Uh no. Its called Lin doesnt want to be here move. He didnt have to sign a toxic deal like that. Pretty sure Knicks would have matched the 4 yr 30 million dollar deal.

Lin just trying to cash in. I dont blame Lin and I dont blame the Knicks. Lin gets paid and Knicks get not be ripped off. Everyone wins.

What makes you think the 4 yr $30M was still avaialble once Morey made the switch? Oh wait - you have been trying to get rid of Lin from day 1.

Lets be clear. If Lin wanted to be here he could have taken what the Knicks offered like JR Smith.

Lin will now be "The Man" on that Houston team and sure to put up stats. He gets to showcase his game nightly and be the face f the franchise. This is a no brainer for someone trying to get PAID. This is a business and Lin isnt stupid.

If you love Lin so much get League Pass. I watch Jennings plenty and he slipped through the Knicks fingers too.

Knicks never made an offer to Lin. They told him to go get an offer first and then they'd match. I don't know if they expected this kind of Deal, but they did in fact tell Lin to seek offers 1st.

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! THINGS DONE CHANGED.

As for Woody, we have to remember that he is a LARRY BROWN, ball control, anti rookie style coach. Woody is as far from MDA as you can get coaching wise. Lin is an MDA style PG. The way the team is moving is towards a halfcourt slow it down offense and a tough D. I think that is what is going on here. The Knicks have completely gone away from anything resembling the team they were trying to be under MDA. Now they have Melo and so they add Kidd and it starts to make sense. This is why Woody wants Tyson and Amar'e to learn post moves. He's gonna institute a ground and pound style. No more run n gun, SSOL or anything like that. No more Guard penetration, PnR motion offense.

Then why are we bringing in Felton, a guy who put up his best numbers under MDA and then bitched and moaned about the slow-it-down style he had to play in Portland?

Felton played for Larry Brown! Just open your mind a bit to what I'm saying and you'll see how everything is lining up. If they let Lin go and bring in Felton, it's not because Felton played good for MDA. It's cuz Woody talked to Larry and got the scoop on how he played under him. Woody is gonna try and repeat what they did to win a title in Detroit. If you've seen Woody coach you can see he doesn't like letting his PG just play fast and loose like MDA does.

Read it somewhere, maybe Wrong? We have JJ's early bird?

Hope that Lin keeps up his Linsanity, then trade him to LAC when CP3 decides he wants out.

Hoping that is the case too (even though I'd still like to retain Lin.....for CP3 at least, would make sense).

If we let Lin walk for nothing though and get cheap all of a sudden, will be furious.

Yep, already posted this.
