Well trading away young assets bothers me, however, we have a 3 year window and the greeks were not really gonna help us in this window.

Could they have been traded for better assets? Maybe - but I don't know since I am not a GM negotiating deals.

I agree that we have a 3 year window. But sometimes you have to be patient. We gave up cash, and 3 second round picks for a guy that was not wanted by his team. Why? desperation. This gets us no closer to a title. Instead of remaining patient and seeing if something better coems along, we instead made a move for moves sake. We hated Lin so we rushed out and gave up multiple assets for a player that consistently comes to camp overweight. What's next? 3 first round picks and Shumpert, plus cash considerations for Eddie Curry?

Did you see what the SUPER Laker franchise gave up for Nash?

I think this was the wrong move in every way possible and there is nothing I have read over the last few days that make any kind of viable argumment towards not matching Lin. People with ego problems and BS theories about Lin doublecrossing the knicks and other crap can go jump for all I care. Without Lin our offense will go nowhere and will be as bad as last year. And that was plenty bad.

Our offense wasn't that bad with Felton running the show two season ago. Felton should be bale to run the pick and roll if he's in shape. Kids is a solid passer. He can't get in the paint anymore, but he can still read defenses.

This man, better come to play

He averaged 14 and 8 in the final month of the year. Not to say that is a huge thing, but at least he finished on a strong note.

We actually have 3 actual PG's on the team this year. MDA is no longer the coach. We can get 14 points and 6-8 assist from Felton which is whay Lin was & would be doing in the offense. The kid went after the most $$$ and got it. Good for him bu it doesn't change my feeling towards a solid Knicks team going into the season.

Shumpert two years from now decides to test the market. Are you okay with letting walk? Would you say good for him? We have a very small window and so far the two best teams in the nba are light years ahead of us. Wasting assets is lunacy. How can you be happy with that?

If we can't wait for a work in progress, why not dump shumpert for Raja Bell. We know what Raja brings

If Shumpert signs somewhere and we don't match the reaction will be the same: "F him that backstabbing loser, took more money to go elsewhere than stay and win in NY with great ownership. Anyone who doesn't agree can gtfo because they're fake fans who are just bandwagon Shumpert fans! Go become Net fans or fans of (insert Shumpert's new team here)!".

That's pretty much exactly what would happen
