I miss Nate Robinson more than I miss Jeremy Lin. At least he actually accomplished something in a Knicks uniform by winning 3 dunk contests.

Lin Christ was in a Knick uni for only a prolonged White Castle cheeseburger fart, and yet dudes are still crying over him like we let Steve Nash in his prime get away.

Pathetic.

Winning Dunk Contest determines how valuable you are to a team? Don't be a clown. Harold Miner won a dunk contest and he sat at the deep end of the bench and retired early.

I'm not clown.

Lin is clown.

A Millionaire Clown.

True. He Harvard, he ain't stupid. He made the right choice for himself financially and will probably get voted to a couple of All Stars, because of his decision.

I wonder if Lin will turn down the All Star if he somehow beats out Chris Paul. Knowing how humble Lin is, he probably would turn it down unless somebody forces him to play (cough*STERN*cough)

Lin knows his limits. Why would he play in a game with Elite Players and make himself look like a fool out there? You know the other players are going to make him look silly just out of spite.

We only have a 2 or 3 year window, we can't afford his growing pains, and his inability to hit the 3 ball off the swing pass.

We have Jason Kidd. My plan was to bring back Lin and sign Jason Kidd. Instead the Knicks focused on trading Shumpert for Nash and offering him the measly MLE which was a pipe dream

and no one said Lin deserved any awards last year

Nah.

If Knicks suddenly went on a 12 game losing streak, you betcha your sweet behinds that the talk of Felton over Lin will be brought up just as long as Lin/Harden's Rockets are in the 4th or 5th seed in the west.

It is unavoidable.

There is no circumstance where I will miss Lin. There are those who miss Lin right now despite his overwhelmingly bad play so its easy to conclude that these same people will miss Lin no matter how well or bad he plays regardless of how well the Knicks play. They are addicted to Lin.

Your not going to have your answer in the first 30 games.

ITs not about individual awards, its about his effect on the team and a higher ceiling.

Forget the money issue for a second and then decide?

whats tangible is 21-8. Felton and Lin are both playing at the same level: Inconsistent.

Without the money issue I take Lin.

But money is an issue.

While we are at it gimme Dlee back. Then add about 9million more for another player or two.

Delete Amare.

Back to reality, this team is ok for now.

If you don't understand why some like Lin even though they tell you 100 times then leave it alone.

If you don't understand why fans don't want to hear about Lin anymore its also pretty evident.

I'll say Melo elevated his game which proved both lovers and haters wrong. Melo was not as praise worthy at the time of the trade but lovers worshipped him. If you feel you were "justified" then you get that Melo had the potential to be better.

Ok, I get that.

Then those same folks need to at least understand Lin's potential.

Damn right that's hot!!!
