It is all bullsh1t. At that situation, I wouldn't play after seeing Rose came back for 2 or 3 games then out for the rest of the season. He will be a free agent.

And, no, even if Lin was 100%, they will not able to turn that around. You are talking about 1 man (Melo) vs the whole Heats.

If you have watch the game, I know you had, once Anthony had the ball, everyone just stood outside.

One thing most of you must have forgotten, Lin is the most exciting thing for the Knicks since 1999. That's almost 15 years. Now, they decided, they want the Knicks to be dead again.

Does the Knicks really think that the three 40s years old will bring them the champions. That the older players will able to take Heat's young and powerful James/Wade/Bosh? That Novak can take Allen/Miller?

The Jason Kidd signing was STUPID to me. Especially since it was before they signed Lin

And there is absolutely no reason for Lin to turn down millions. Knicks management created this mess for self. Rockets believe he is worth it. That team is happy, Lin is happy, and it sounds like sour grapes to Knicks management and fans.

I tend to agree. Don't think he will be a bust - but the west is point guard heavy - Westbrook, Parker, Nash, Paul. Rockets gutted themselves in the Howard sweepstakes so they don't have the resources that the Knicks do.

Time will tell if Lin develops into a really good player. He's smart and hard-working. Seems like a good guy, and the NBA could always benefit from these types of players. In thinking about it some more, any player is worth what a team is willing to pay. Kudos to Lin. I wish him the best. Hopefully, he doesn't get hurt, and the rest of the players are not particularly malicious towards him because of his contract.

About the Knicks, I have never been a fan of that team. I don't think they are making the proper moves. They seem to need a completely different philosophy and approach to the game. Plus, Carmelo needs the ball too much.

Nothing better can happen to a young player trying to establish self, than to be given the responsibility. It is why I feel, Kidd signing with Knicks was a blessing for Dallas. Those 28-30 minutes should be given to youngsters who are the future.

What's there to laugh? I personally like to play against better players than player that I am sure I can beat. That's how I improved.
