Matching the Lin/Rockets reworked shakedown AND the Fields bloated deal? My God, I am gonna need a drink after reading this madness.
While I am aware that the Knicks are in a tight spot, just paying out all that money, leaving the team mired in cap hell after the next couple of years, isn't a smart move. This team is about to kick out WAY too much money on unproven inexperienced players, who will just shrug their shoulders and cash their checks if their performance isn't up to the level of those deals.
It's gut-check time for Grunwald. If he plays this hand wrong, he's done.
Agree. Its crunch time for Grunwald.
He got played pretty badly by Houston and Lin. You think its a coincidence they waited so long for the new offer sheet? They were waiting for NY to make their moves. The Camby deal leaves us no real assets to do other trades. The Kidd signing uses our lil MLE, which now makes it hard to get a guy like Felton, once rumored to be Lin's possible substitution. Now we are trapped. Anyway you look at it, we lose. If we match, we lose any flexibility we had with Lin, who now would become a pretty bad contract who would have to play "Linsane" to justify it. We don't match and suddenly Kidd is the starter at PG and the argentinan the backup.
I think Lin lost a few fans tonight.
The two of you can write a book on how to build and rationalize conspiracy theories. Way to go.
That's the best you've got? Now I understand where those weak arguments come from.
LOL. Weak arguments? Because I don't take rumors and proceed to make sh1t up? That's how YOU make strong arguments? You have consistently blamed Lin for trying to screw the Knicks when there is NO evidence he did or said anything at all. If you say something a 100 times over it becomes true, doesn't it?
Hahaha I love how you paraphrase arguments to make them look the way you want. Fine, man, have fun with that. I'm not interested in a back and fourth argument with a poster like you so peace out.
Whereas I am very interested in debunking falsehoods when I see them. I probably don't need to be sarcastic when I do it, but that's just the way I post.
Debunking falsehood? LMAO! Which God came down from the sky and made you the only human on Earth with the absolute truth? Sorry to break it down to you but there is no absolute truth. And in this case, its your opinion versus mine. In the end, both arguments are based on reports out there that may be or may not be truth. So as I understand you believe your arguments, I believe mine.
Now, changing the meaning of what I said when I left if pretty clear, that is falsehood. But do as you wish. This is a forum to express opinions and if that of part of yours, suit yourself.
