It's kind of funny. I love JR but he basically came out and said he didn't think Lin deserved that ridiculous contract he got. Well..JR is the man now playing with a bunch of bench guys. Why is there no JR smith explosive winning streak?

Perhaps the key was Jared Jefferies

It's kind of funny. I love Steve Novak but he also came out and said Lin's contract was ridiculous. Well... Novak is now playing with a bunch of bench guys. Why are there no more discount double checks?

Differnce being Novak said the structure was ridiculas, but the value was deserved.

It works when running a PnR with a grat PG. Not when doing ISO's

We should sign Cliff Paul for a 10-day contract.

Perhaps the Clippers were expecting an easy win?

Thats the idea

Novak and Carmelo's comments were identical. I-dentical.

Jeremy Lin is gone and the legend still lives on. Long before he delivers a championship to Houston.

Ok, so melo said this?

“It can be looked at as a ridiculous contract in the sense that it’s a $5 [million], a $5 [million] and a $15 [million over the first three years],” Novak told SNY.tv Wednesday at the Steve Novak Basketball Camp at Sleepy Hollow High School.

“It is kind of ridiculous in terms of the structure. I don’t think in terms of Jeremy’s value that it’s ridiculous. I think everybody knows that. He’s very valuable….I wasn’t there when Carmelo said it but ‘ridiculous contract,’ I think probably means more the fact that there’s a max offer being offered in the third year when the first two was a five.”

Looking at the roster, it amazes me we are considered, or were considered, a championship team. We are Melo and role players.
We really need a reliable #2 scorer.

Could just be that Melo meant the same thing. He's just not as articulate and aware of the fact that his comments could be misinterpreted.

Asked if Lin's contract could cause a challenging dynamic with his teammates, Smith agreed.

"Without a doubt," he said. "I think some guys take it personal, because they've been doing it longer and haven't received any reward for it yet. I think it's a tough subject to touch on for a lot of guys."

Who do you think "some guys" were?
