If you look at the facts to date, there's not a hope in Hell Lin returns:
Immediately after Feltons agent announced he was returning to NY, Felton said the Lin deal was off
JR, Melo and Tyson spoke as if they knew he was gone
His jersey vanishes from the official Knicks website
Every source says we're not matching
Aaron Brooks, the Rockets fall back option, suddenly signs with the Kings, with only a day to go- its a terrible fit for him, and indicates he knows the Rockets are getting Lin.
Dolans track record of 'it's a matter of principal' decisions
Felton, Lin and Kidd at PG is unworkable and makes no sense, especially considering we still have no SG.
With Lin's salary, which already had huge tax implications, Feltons deal adds ANOTHER $12mil to $16mil that year.
I can't believe anyone actually thinks there's any hope! He's gone!
