Lin at his worst (1-13 with 8 turnovers vs Miami Heat) would have taken an immediate back seat to Felton.

Arrives at the arena three hours early

6'11 Donte Green is an excellent fit for a NYK roster spot for the veterans minimum.

Book It.

Substitution pattern.

Every point guard in the league would've taken a back seat to Lin at his best.

crzymdups - you make an excellent point. NBA TV is showing the top ten Jeremy Lin Knicks games, which puts him in an elite class with Michael Jordan.

Hall of Fame here we come.

better question - who is carmelo going to blame now that Lin is gone?

"Let's be frank about it," he said. "When it comes to the Knicks, we're talking about one particular point in time. We're talking about the whole 'Linsanity' thing. That's when it started. That's when it started to escalate as far as people saying I was selfish."

if carmelo hadn't heard himself called selfish in his career before linsanity, i'm not sure he was listening. i think our own mister earl used to implore melo to "Move the Ball - Find the Open Man"

really bad sign for the future of the knicks, imho, if melo thinks the only reason people asked him to pass is linsanity.

he just doesn't seem to get it. when was the last time a player who didn't get how to play winning basketball scored himself to a championship?

just call him starmelobury.

Cause he ain't a knick no more - time to move on and talk about OUR players.

If you play against us, you are our enemy.

Just a reminder ... Jeremy Lin shot a whopping combined 34% from the floor against > 500 home teams and > 500 road teams - OUCH!

I hate him.

Sorry I am that guy...

Just can't shake this decision. I want answers. From Dolan. From Grunwald.

Can't believe Lin fans forgot about this:

Hated that game, I can't stand Deron Williams, but he absolutely whipped Lin's ass!

That and the Miami game were "Reality Checks".

From then on, you can tell it was all a 7 game mirage.
