they are saying that. I don't believe it until I see an official statement. still as DA said this trade was done to save money. they traded contracts.
If they were keeping both they would have just sign felton out right and match Lin's OS
I hope the Knicks do get Felton back...he shouldn't have been traded...I liked his game in NY...it took y'all a while to dump the trash Denver unloaded on y'all...it'd be nice to get Ray back...if the Nets are still in contention to land Dwight by the trade deadline I hope we don't make the same mistake and panic like Dolan did...Melo/Knicks were in control of that scenario but gave up too much imo...
Kurt Thomas...Jeezus Christ the league needs some new blood...glad the Knicks got Ray back tho
I got to see them say it first before I believe it. Lin makes a lot of money and they have been saying that they would pay it even after it came out. This move might of been to improve their team and fuck the rockets over.
They are saying Felton was promise he would start.
Also that if the Knicks don't match it's because Lin doesn't want to play in New York.
don't be so sure knicks rn't matching Lin.. they needed another sg... Shump is out until least January... adding felton allows the knicks 2 have Kidd at SG in spurts with a capable ball handler in at all times...I like getting Kurt back... Knicks are gonna be tough as nails with all these vets...
more details coming out
knicks also received rights to two players in europe...
IF this is true, and the Knicks don't match Lin and go with Felton, then in a way that makes the signing of JKidd
, because wasn't the whole purpose of signing him to mentor Lin?I want to laugh at this shit, but I'm still so emotionally fucked up over the Kwame Brown signing that I can't bring myself to do it... I'll be back heckling soon enough though, after the therapy kicks in...
After all that they'd match up to a "billion" talk and assurances from Woodson it would be disappointing for the Knicks to not match...and watch Lin blow up in Houston
this is why I can't fuck w/ the Knicks...every time they have a semblance of a team Dolan's decisions fucks up the chemistry/makeup of the team

This is about money and Lin not wanting to play in New York

how do you know he doesnt want to play in new york
IMHO...smart move to get Felton instead of paying Lin that dumb contract.
Now you guys just have to keep Felton away from the buffet table...he looks like he gets fatter every year.
I also got a question...why don't the Knicks try and get Mayo or Lee? Are you really comfortable with Smith starting...and I know every Knicks fan loves Shumpert, 2 things about the ACL stuff. One, while a player can come back and start playing in about a year, they normally don't fully recover to their old selves until year 2. And second, ACL injuries in basketball seem to be even more devastating than in football...particularly those who rely on athleticism (like Shumpert and Rose). They hopefully will fully recover, but it's also not a sure thing. If I were them, I'd have looked into getting another 2 that can start.

they are quoting this from his agent

that doesnt make any sense he would make the most money here with other business venture and endorsement.
You for real???
He's Chinese and can actually play. He can make money if he plays in Toronto. Being in Houston didn't hurt Yao's pockets and won't hurt Jeremy's
Jon Dieber and Victor Claver or Joel Freeland to the knicks... NICE... Win now and everyones deal is up in 3 years and bring in the youth from Europe...interesting way to construct a team... if they do bring Lin back it'd be interesting
Portland had been talking to both Claver and Freeland about coming over this year. Is it confirmed that the Knicks will keep them overseas?
Korver, now Watson (but I had a feeling that these two players were leaving.)
Next will be Brewer (but Butler is a great replacement) and I hope the next player to leave is Asik. Id be higly pissed if the Bulls match that bs contract offer from the Rockets.
Its funny how one player being injured takes you from being one of the top teams in the NBA to a team thats basically rebuilding.
I had patience with MJ/Da Bulls....gotta have have patience with DRose/Da Bulls as well. Its cool though...my Bears will win the SB this year and keep the Chi calm until the Bulls get their shit together.
im not worried about shit bro
the nba doesn't heat up until after the allstar break.

Bulls are saving money this year. No Rose why should they spend money?

Brewer is already gone. Most reports seem to think that they are going to match the offer sheet to Asik which I don't get. Allegedly it's because they're worried about Noah's health.
Reinsdorf is cheap and he isn't going to pay the luxury tax this year when he knows they aren't going to win a title. I still think that they should have kept Watson.
What they're doing right now just confuses me more as to why they didn't acquire a 2nd pick and get a guy like Lamb or Barton who by all indications they liked but didn't take because Teague dropped to them.
Don't worry though Leon Powe is on our summer league team.
hes gonna let yall scrap for this year.
but in 2014 nigga?
i'll bite
whats in 2014?

Only thing that's gonna happen is rose getting leaving and turning into Penny Hardaway after the injury
Shocked. The Knicks actually CANT afford to keep Lin.

Out of all of the players who went to China during the lockout, only Wilson Chandler made out in his re-signing. Kenyon Martin, JR Smith, Aaron Brooks are all making way less than they should.
