Larry Brown also said Tyrus Thomas would be a superstar.

And everyone else did not think so?

I don't think most people thought that way, to be honest.

Also, rings since Brown called Ariza delusional:

Ariza: 1
Brown: 0

So you always hated him? That did not just start today?

Larry Brown??! Ask anyone who remembers my HATRED of him from the second the Knicks hired him. I was livid. He was one of the worst coaches I've ever seen in NY and I literally started my hate parade before the season. I just dislike the guy.

Normally I'm an optimistic poster, but Larry Brown and giving away Lin have triggered pessimism.

I was not accusing, see? I asked politely first.

Again, I can't blame anyone for being pissed, it is perfectly understandable. I just don't think that you are clear minded in this tender state. You are not being at all open minded to alternate scenarios that blur your made up mind.

Such as, Lin not playing. I have no idea what went on but I can say that my proposed scenario is highly plausible. You can't even bring yourself to consider because it may slightly tarnish your view of saint Lin.

Nobody is perfect and it usually takes two to tango.

If this is true, than you were in the minority around here.

Everyone loved Brown and hated (one of many reasons) I.Thomas for trading away the Knicks chances of drafting T.Thomas.

I think the majority of coaches would have been reluctant to give a guy like Lin a chance especially in a lock out shortened season. I thought Lin would be cut but the Knicks sent him to Erie and when he came back he caught a break. There was a lot of buzz here about Lin before dantoni played him.

Also, I am not sure what you are talking about with people eating their words. I am pretty sure that I have not read anyone saying they didn't want Lin back. I have read people disputing the ramifications of the Lin contract on the cap, whether melo prevented lin's return, if Lin got the poison pill put in so that he could be rocket... Etc.

There is certainly a possibility that they did not want Lin back. Don't rule anything out.

Lin for sure caught a break. I mean how many teams have PG's as bad as Mike Bibby and Tony Douglas. Those 2 are nominees for worst players in the NBA.Lin probably is out of the NBA if we werent so crappy at assembling PG's.

Lin made outstanding strength and conditioning improvements over the last off-season. He would have annihilated the competition in the NBDL and would have made it back to the NBA.

It's too bad that outstanding strength and conditioning didn't help him last more than 35 games.
