I haven't read the article, but the question that he needs to be asked is -

"Truthfully, why did you go back to renegotiate a larger deal with Houston?"

He says pretty much Because he didn't officially present the sheet to the Knicks :usure: he's like Ohh I only gave one sheet but just looks like you didn't want to be there or he was like fukk it it's dolans money

tall order
:why:
how, if we're already going into the season better than we were last year....when people were predicting us to be a 3 seed?

Barring injury, we'll be even better in the 2nd half of the year too when Shumpert gets back.

:comeon:
Just like majority of yall thought ECF was sewn up after all of last years signings only to blow up the direction yall were going and switch lanes mid-season. It took some miracle called Linsanity to realize there were far better means of operations than what was being used at the time and for Melo and Stat to somewhat buy into the team-effort program.

But mainly because there's little to no chance Amare and Melo being on the same team is going to lead to a chip. Looks fantastic on NBA2k12, but the measurements just don't add up. Yall do realize how virtually close the Knicks were to being a lottery team last year?? You take out the once-in-a-lifetime emergence of Linsanity, then you've got 15th pick.

I should actually say, the main downfall will ultimately fall on Grun & Dolan. Their brash decisions (ex: letting lin test the market), short sighted plans (ex: the whole Lebron campaign) and poor executions (ex: bad contracts with bad timing) are what's ultimately going to hold yalls team back. Dude just makes bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. As soon as he makes a bold step ahead, two or three steps back are soon to follow.

It's just an unfortunate history of the franchise

can we blame for Dolan for not matching that stupid contract?...

I actually applaud him for it.

Better that than the usual bullshyt these teams pull. Sign and overpay some dude then when their contract becomes a problem blame the player for getting the best deal for himself.

Knicks lost hard.

Houston got lucky with the 2nd chance, if Lin stays healthy, he's only gonna get better.

How'd the Knicks lose hard ?? Long as we win games were fine . What's more likely the Knicks make the playoffs or Jeremy Lin carries those rockets to the playoffs . Well be fine and lin will be fine. You Guys act like the Knicks arent the second most valuable nba team

I'd rather be the Spurs than the second most valuable team in the NBA...just sayin.

Just like I'd rather be the Steelers than the Redskins

Exactly. How does being the most valuable team translate to on-court productivity??

all it means is the mistakes dont hurt as much.

But for the Knicks, there's been a lot of mistakes....and when the owner has a safety net to spend like a drunk...its a recipe for disaster

The guy said the Knicks are fukked I'm telling him while the Knicks will be fine . So you agree we're fukked cause of Lin leaving ? Lin = championship? So far all he equals is money and well be fine moneywise.

Nice evasion. You still didn't answer the question.

Bottom line: Lin went to a worse team for money... Now he's gonna face CP3, Nash, Wesbrook, Rubio, Lawson, Parker and Conley four times each!
He ain't sniffing the playoffs in the West anytime soon.

:rudy: cap space to do what ? So Lin rookies asik are better than the Knicks (melo, amare chandler ) Kidd is a backup , Felton averaged 6.5 assists while being out of Shape. I'm sure you will say it is
