I never understand why the Knicks have to talk. Why would woody say "we will definitely match?". I work in a law firm and everyone is taught to always shut the fuk up.

It reminded me of when the knicks had their eye on Stephen Curry. Why did it have to be so public?

Because he has an eating disorder and Dolan got him at half price for a few tenderloins

I don't have to like them for me to make an objective view of the team as it is now. I think this team will be good. How good we don't know, but this is Melo-World right now. For better or worse our wagon is hitched to Melo and we've gotta hope that he can lead this team to a title. Melo will never get another team that is more tailored to him and the way he wants to play. Lin if he was here takes away from that focus on Melo and he has the ball in his hand all the time. That just couldn't be acceptable to the Unholy Alliance and their plans. Lin wasn't part of that and he couldn't be controlled. Lin has his own people. The team clearly was split in 2 factions during Linsanity and after Melo came back it was ugly.

Uh ... Jeter? Does he not count? LT?

This has nothing to do with race. Starks was loved and never one. Ewing was not loved because he did not have the personality.

which is why he can't find a head coaching job

That is true.

Why not have info which may help you understand what is happening within the franchise when this or that move is made, especially those which some of us question?

As for the "Lin is gone- lets not talk about it anymore" attitude- this sounds like some people don't really want to analyzed, understand, or know that really happened. For some this is also a process of grieving before final acceptance of what has just happened.

The Lin decision is still fresh and is going to be worthy of its own threads, or comments within a thread. Live with it.

This is the thing which amazed me.

You are right about the Curry, too. It almost seemed that he was already a Knick the way the Knicks were gushing about him.

Better to put out some false rumors. We should have acted pissed off after the first offer was known, and put out rumors that we were going to walk away from him.

Ah ... unless we are not giving them enough credit. Perhaps we never wanted to match and having soldier Woody go out there and say "we are definitely going to match" was just a ploy to force Houston to overpay, and, to save face with the LinerFocker fans in NY. Houston bites, raises the offer, the knicks pout and act pissed and in the end, get exactly what they want. Rid-a-Lin.

Nah ... too much credit

happens every time there's a big move for the knicks. after the melo trade people made posts about the denver nuggets every single day - gallo highlights, gallo boxscores, wilson highlights, felton highlights, mozgov highlights.

people like the knicks and like the players on the team.

this one hurts a little more because it's losing our best young player for literally absolutely nothing in return.
