Landry Fields: “He was surprised that the Knicks didn’t make the first move,’’ a league source said. “(The Knicks) know they’ve got to mend some fences with (Lin) because he believes what the Rockets have told him, that the Knicks weren’t as interested as they are.’’ A Knicks fan I know, one who loves basketball, both Lin and Kidd, sent me the following email on Friday:
“You may think I’m crazy but Lin might be better off in Houston from a career perspective although he can stand to make more money in endorsements in NY. Imagine trying to deal with Carmelo and Woodson.
‘Iso’ ball is street ball and that’s not Lin’s game. Kidd will find this to be a problem, too. He knows that you can’t just pass the ball to one guy. If I were Lin I’d seriously consider going to Houston, as much as I would love to have him here.”
