You don't get it! I would have loved to see Lin here in New York. It wasn't Dolan, or Melo , or Woodson who chased Lin out of NY. It was the Media. They made him bigger than life.
If only Melo was playing during Linsanity it might have worked but you just don't bring in a man who you traded your whole starting line-up for to play second fidel to Lin and that what was happening. Lin was the hero and not Melo. It messed with his pride as being the main man. And you know how the New York sports media is. This town was not big enough for the both of them. Someone had to go and Lin did the best thing. Woodson would have humiliated him. Maybe he would be benched and loose confidence in himself. Only if they made Linsanity together would it work.

2012-2013:

Ray: Record of 26-13. 14.9 points, 6.3 assists, 2.9 boards, 1.3 steals and 2.4 turnovers per game. Player Efficiency Rating of 15.26.
Lin: Record of 30-26. 12.6 points, 6.2 assists, 3.4 boards, 1.9 steals and 2.9 turnovers per game. Player Efficiency Rating of 14.85.

And you mean to tell me that Jeremy Lin is getting paid more than DOUBLE the amount of Raymond Felton? That's a laughable joke.

Lin: $25,123,938 over the next 3 years.
Ray: $12,540,000 over the next 3 years.

OH YOU MAD.

Jeremy Lin? lol. Felton's numbers of 2010-2011 were even better than Lin's numbers during "Linsanity".

When has Felton averaged 20 & 8 for any long stretch in his career?

And don't worry I know you fear this but this thread will blame up when people wake up later this morning.

You might want to start a Melo for MVP thread to combat it
