The Official Knicks offseason thread

[OneManGang]

We had 2 six game losing streaks this past season. One without Lin & one with Lin.

If y'all want to give that much credit to Lin, you can give the same amount of credit to Mike Woodson.

He turned our season around with an 18-6 record. We were fighting for our playoff lives during that stretch. Remember not only did we get in, we passed those ho ass Sixers & was only 1 game behind Orl for the 6th seed.

Breh I didnt bring up Woodson. Of course he deserves credit as well, but let's be a hunnid....we looked like we were capable of dropping 15 straight. Lin was def a catalyst to our season turning around. I don't care how anybody tries to twist it.

People are not looking at the big picture. People are so fixated on that hot stretch, that they're not thinking about what Lin can do an 82 game season where teams are no longer going to caught be surprised. They're going to break him down and expose his every weakness. Lin's biggest question mark is consistency. Being paid big money is all about consistency.

that's fine and all...but when the alternative is Ray Felton I'd take my shots on Lin becomming a good PG

 

[K-ZOE]

Basketball wise, what does Jeremy Lin do better than Ray Felton? And I dont wanna hear shyt about driving and kicking. Any PG that can't drive and kick shouldnt be in the NBA...

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I have no disagreements. Somebody tried to give Melo credit for us making the playoffs tho

I did.

Ya must be quick to forget

And this was all during that crucial race to get to the playoffs

We're not just asking you to "take a shot" tho, we're asking you to put $30 mil on it. You down?

Then when those ticket prices keep going up, up, and up (already expecting a hit, with renovations and all), then I bet a lotta ninjas start changing their tune on Lin. Can't pay this kid that kind of money.

Money has never been an issue to Dolan so I dont get where this is coming from.

Lin getting paid doesnt have any affect on what we can do with this roster.

Like someone said on twitter blaming Lin for the luxury tax is like 6 fat guys blaming the skinny guy for tipping the elevator over the weight limit.

Look Lin got us out the hole cool but melo and chandler the ones who convinced dantoni to let him play . And he ran with it cool but we also had a 6 game losing streak with Lin then melo helped win all those games to keep us in front of the bucks . Not to mention melo last year going all out vs the celtics he hit that 3 or Jeffries dunks its a different series. Melo went to meet with Lin and woodson to discuss the season coming up what else you want Melo to do?? Beg him? 30 mil in the last year might be too much grunwald has been a good talent evaluator so he gets a pass hell he brought Lin , Novak shump on.
I like Lin and think he has potential but some evaluators never see him as being anything but a backup . Only time will tell I don't love Felton but I love the Knicks and want a ring . It's a business. Root for the uniform not the name cause anything can happen.

Did you forget who we had at PG last year? Tony Douglas and the corpse of Baron Davis and Mike Bibby. Did y'all forget that we signed that pass first Argentine point guard? You just like to play devil's advocate for the sake of being a contrarian.

ticket prices been gone up for the past 10 years, look at the contract eddy curry and allan houston got. It's never been a problem for the knicks

This ridiculousness would surprise me but then I remembered you were defending Landry Fields all year so this makes sense.

That you're a fukking cock sucker who's going to bat for Jeremy fukking Lin.

I don't get this type of reasoning? When Dolan throws money at unproven players and it turns out to be an absolute disaster everyone wants to

But let Dolan show a little restraint for once and dudes now wanna be like, Dolan is good, lets

Knicks fans really are the most emotionally damaged fans, I guess we deserve guys like Dolan and Isiah. Beating you up and making you beg for more.

 

[mvp_status]

If Lin averages 14 & 7 next year, it would be considered a good year for him. Right?

Somebody remind me what Ray Felton's career averages are again?

ok, you are just being an emotional child.
