And yet the Knicks thought Jerome James was worth the money.
Go figure.
The current regime isn't trying to repeat that mistake.
Yes, Jeremy Lin is on the same level of Jerome James in terms of talent and worth ethic. Brilliant observation.
Like I said that Lin was the exact same as Jerome James? Don't attempt to put words in my mouth, dude.
They are both are both players to get a big deal after a relative short stint of above average play. Everyone who isn't choking on their own sarcasm can see that.
Furthermore, the Knicks have already made the same mistake. Just take a look at the contracts this current roster has.
...so if you feel that way, why should they do it again, then? So the same folks who are basing the Knicks relevance on Lin can turn around and say "same old Knicks, overpaying players who aren't worth the money"? BTW, every player on the Knicks- and in the NBA- who have comparable deals proved their worth for more games (and YEARS) than Lin has for this one. Now with THAT out of the way, please feel free to show us where all of these "same" mistakes were made on this current roster.
We still don't know if the Knicks will match the deal or not, but it damn sure looks like they DON'T want to gamble on that, though.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year.
GO KNICKS!
