The Official Knicks offseason thread

[BAMBA]

Some financial analysts think Lin is worth around $80 million a year in merchandising/advertising to the Knicks.

I don't think Dolan is letting him go anywhere.

Olshey just said they haven't made the trade with NY involving Felton yet

But if he goes out there and get cooked on the regular, that $80 mill is a pipe dream. I got love for the nikka and what he was able to do for those 4-5 memorable weeks. But I'm also a realist. You can't give that kind of bread to a cat who is still largely unproven.

shyt has nothing to do with money, Dolan already is paying the tax

85 mill in luxary tax though

I was waiting for him to just say they can't talk about it, but why deny a deal that's gonna happen?


Should I also deny when he involves Batum as part of the team's future as well?

that was last year during the hype. the hype will go way down now cause they expect him to perform

Yo.... This is BS that Lin was just trying to get more money at the last minute, but wanted to play with the Knicks all along. If that was the case, he would have just thrown a couple more million on the first couple of years, or even just the second year. But ALL OF IT was piled on the third year, the specific year that would cause hell for the Knicks salary cap.

This dude went to Harvard... He knew what he was doing.

Nah, Lin can't make more that 5 million a year for the next 2 years. Gilbert Arenas Rule.

Hope all this melo hate just motivates melo. I'm thinking yhey might sign Lin to save face :/

@NYPost_Berman
NBA scout told me last week Lin is no better than Felton and said most personnel guys agree. Felton was high on list when free agency began.

Evan Roberts trying too hard on WFAN.... Must be trying to hype up the Knicks fans and get them to call in so he doesn't have to work hard to fill up the time till 1:00.

I agree. He is feenin' to stir up some debate.

Yea, Joe's on vacation this week, so he needs to fill up the time.

Because last week he was questioning whether the Knicks should even match the initial offer. So, is he backpedaling now to get these corny "fans" (who admittedly didn't watch for 10 years) riled up?
