Hope Melo gives the OK.I think Dolan would be the guy that would have to give the ok. Since Melo's emotions can't be proven according to your own words. Then people should stop speaking for him. And stop making assumptions based off there own interpretations of what may or may not be the case. Then proceed to state these assumptions and interpretations as facts. I could assume Lin was healthy enough to play in the playoffs that yr, but held out because he wanted to max out his earnings from Linsanity and couldn't risk losing money under performing in the playoffs. But I have no way of proving that. So all that can be said is that's a possibility. Now if I took that possibility, started stating it as fact and developed my whole basis of opinion on Lin because of that assumption or possibility. Then that would be just as wrong. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/8168386/carmelo-anthony-says-ridiculous-jeremy-lin-deal-new-york-knicks
Carmelo Anthony said Sunday it's up to the New York Knicks to decide if they want to match the "ridiculous contract" that the Houston Rockets have offered Jeremy Lin. I'm assuming the quote actually came out of Anthony's mouth. Why would any player not want a colleague to get as much money as possible? Maybe that quote is taken out of context. I remember there being more coverage than just that one article, and there was a JR Smith quote as well about players being upset if he signed that deal and came back. This franchise has been poorly run for so long its a joke. Its improved with Phil. Whether that continues is something I will always worry about until Dolan is no longer involved with the team. I'd love Lin to come back - not only because he was such a great story when here, but because I think he can help the team. He is smart and plays the right way. I think he would fit what Hornacek is trying to do and what Phil wants - team oriented offensive basketball. And I think we could sign him for a good value contract. Maybe not a hometown discount, but a reasonable, team friendly long term deal that sees him perhaps finish his career as a Knick. |

He was overseas with the olympic team and he was told about it in an interview. If you watched the interview, you would see the quote in the context of the conversation and I don't think you would react to it in the way the media has attempted to portray it. Imagine the media taking a quote out of context to make it look like something it isn't. The lesson is the same one that is repeated here by many, don't judge words out of context, watch the interview.Carmelo Anthony said Sunday it's up to the New York Knicks to decide if they want to match the "ridiculous contract" that the Houston Rockets have offered Jeremy Lin.

His interpretation of what he viewed as ridiculous would be needed in order to come to a conclusion. Was the first time poison pill was introduced to the NBA with Asik and Lin. Caught many ppl around the NBA off guard. Role player Asik who had small sample size of production got a lot of attention just the same since he was signed to a new rare poison pill contract. So was ridiculous based on the amount 25mil. Or was ridiculous based on the weirdness of the poison pill contract allowing salary to jump from 5-5-15mil. If he signed a regular contract a not a poison pill would it still be viewed as ridiculous. Not that I agree with Melo comment on Lin's co tract regardless. This was also after the season was over so it would be two separate time frames. Jr spoke on how ppl would feel some type of way with Lin making that type of money. Though they may have been hung up on the final yr 15mil. Jr took less and chose to come to NY. Then later on took less to sign with NY again. So its somewhat understandable from his perspective. I would have liked to have brought Lin back last offseason. He would have been had cheap and we only had Calderon who was injured and played terrible. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Lin's quest for $$$ facilitated his exit from the Knicks, NOT MElo.. but let facts come in the way of some good old fashioned emotional posting. I have actually lost IQ points from posting in this thread. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs
