The notion of trading Lin later is ridiculous because people will be as attached to him later as they are now.
The Official Knicks offseason thread
- Thread starter Hawaiian Punch
- Start date
Here's the way I see it... If the Knicks sign Lin, it's because they don't think they can find a viable shooting guard...
If they don't sign Lin, then we should be looking out for the Knicks signing a shooting guard to the roster.
If they can get somebody like Matt Barnes somehow... I say let Lin go. If they can't get someone like that, at least. Then Dolan needs to eat that bill and sign Lin. Cause in the end, he can prevent the big hit if Lin isn't worth it. And if Lin is worth it, then who cares.
But I have a question... If the Knicks waive Lin using the "Stretch" provision.... and somebody picks Lin up off waivers... What happens with 15 mil then.
Or if Lin clears waivers and somebody signs him for say 3 or 4 mil.... is only 11 mil being paid over the 3 year time period?

I was wondering about this myself. Unfortunately, "sports analysts" like Stephen A. Smith are too busy screaming on camera and being personalities to actually provide sports analysis...so I'm not sure.
Has SAS even mentioned the stretch provision in his rants?

1050(home of the NY Knicks coincidentally) hasnt touched it at ALL.
the only one that did was Evan Roberts this morning...
SAS Stance Is That Lin Is Flat Out Not Worth That Kind Of Money, He Doesn't Wanna Hear About Provisions Or Trade Assets Or Not Couting Toward The Cap Or Dolans Pockets
Whether Its Good Or Bad For The Knicks His Stance Is Basically Dont Give Lin The Money Cuz He's Average And Will Always Be Average

David Aldridge Says The Knicks Should Keep Lin
Finally A Respected Guy With A Brain Weighs In, I Suggest Everyone Read This
Aldridge Weighs In: Why Knicks Should Keep Jeremy Lin « NBA.com | Hang Time Blog
"I have no dog in this hunt. I’m neither a Knicks fan nor a hater. But it seems clear that, while the Knicks would certainly be paying above market and basketball value for Lin by matching the offer sheet, the implications of not doing so could bring even greater risk. And, even if it turns out Lin is a complete bust, it doesn’t have to be nearly as punitive in that potentially toxic third year for New York as people are making it out to be."

He plans on putting on gaining more pounds on top of where he was at when last season ended?
So about this stretch provision...........
Either he underperforms and we eat the contract or if he does good and we won't trade him. People will riot if we even mention cp3

“@KnicksFanBlog: @alanhahn 2x + 1 year” So for instance, if Knicks waive Lin before Year 3, that $14.9M cap hit is spread over 3 years.
Alan Hahn ‏@alanhahn
For those asking, “Stretch Provision” allows team to waive player and spread cap hit over 2x length of remaining contract. Eases tax hit.

Yes, “stretch provision” does give ‪#Knicks‬ some potential relief on the $14.9M balloon year for Lin. Definitely something in consideration.
