If we're banking all our hopes on Lin being an all star you can forget about it

I keep seeing people use his advanced stats but 25 games is definitely not a big enough sample size to project anything with certainty.

"banking all our hopes" is not even the phrase. Either we resign him and hope he becomes one of the better pg's in the league the way Rondo did or you let him go and let Felton and a 40 year old Jason Kidd run shyt. We're not getting the option of "potential" again over the next three years

Im banking on him being better than Felton.

He's 23. He's an asset. Letting him walk for nothing makez zero basketball sense. You can flip his 3rd year as an exp deal.

You know what I realized: Lin would be a perfect trade chip. Remember: He has a team option after the 15 mil year. He's a young talent, and teams that want him can take him for the expiring and thats it. So thats something to think about. So if he stinks it up, he's an expiring contract and you can get rid of him.

This is a total yoyo though Anthony: Dolan 'definitely wants' Lin back with Knicks - NYPOST.com


Question: Could the Knicks amnesty Amare next year and sign Josh Smith if he became a Free Agent?

Josh smith numbers on his best year is still worse than amare worst year . We used the amnesty already :/ why do you want to get rid of amare ?

God i can't wait for this to be over. I literally could go either way. Hahn think of we bring back Lin, Kidd could play off guard so i guess we wouldn't really need to sign a sg than.

Meanwhile, Raymond Felton's weight will be a topic of conversation when training camp opens in October. Felton has said he likes to come into camp overweight because he loses it during camp and he likes to play "heavy" because it helps him feel stronger.

Jeremy Lin played well - TrueHoop Blog - ESPN

One idea is that he's all about the money -- even though he may lead the league in endorsements declined.

Another idea is that he is not very competitive -- even though he has been fending off skeptics with hard work and great play for half a decade.

Another idea suggested here and there is that he's not worth a medium-sized NBA contract because he's not that good of a player, especially on defense.

Here's where the whole project starts to reek of revisionist history. My two cents:
Jeremy Lin IS a risk because he has played at an elite level for only 886 minutes, and everything about that has the chance to be a little fluky. Regression to the mean can hurt.
Jeremy Lin IS a risk because after that short stint playing long minutes, he was injured. It seems a little nuts to project his health for the next 246 regular-season games (three seasons, or the scope of his next contract) when he was shelved after his first 26 games of regular playing time. With Greg Oden as my witness, some bodies aren't meant for the NBA grind. There's no special reason to suspect Lin will have trouble, but you'd feel better if he had 200 NBA games under his belt.
Jeremy Lin IS NOT a risk because during the 26 games of Linsanity he didn't play very well. The simple truth is that, even if you count in his bad games, he was tremendous.
