An offer, by the way Houston rewrote after Lin secretly negotiated with them to get more money in years in 3 and 4.

All negotiations are secret in any contract.

To be fair with the paying your dues argument, at what point in Carmelo’s (or most other entitled players with no real accomplishments) illustrious NBA career did his dues become paid exactly?

I thought you were going to try to be fair with the argument or at least try to make a good one.

Jason to answer the question you posed on twitter “Why are players annoyed by Lin’s contract” the reason is two-fold. A) He hasn’t paid his dues. 25 games, he’s barely more proven than a rookie. B) The size of the contract is as much if not more for marketing than basketball reasons. Let’s face it, Lin is cashing in on his ethnicity in a way that black NBA players cannot.

Absolutely agree with this. If Lin wanted to stay/allow the Knicks to match, don’t let the deal be structured that way by being so backloaded. Lin went after the cash, can’t blame him, never going to tell someone how to spend/get their own salary, but the manner he went about it left the Knicks no choice.

Houston fans can’t be happy losing 2 point guards and replacing them with a one armed bandit with a small sample size of decent play at a higher cost.

Carmelo Anthony Still Hates Jeremy Lin

Thats one convenient interpretation… especially if you let the tape roll.

Wow. Why offer up a reaction to another player’s potential contract? With a quote like that coupled with Antony stating he thought people jumped the gun in assuming Lin would return, you would almost have to believe the Knicks will not match Houston’s offer.

Maybe its just me, but I would think that Grunwald refusing to acknowledge Houston’s submission of the Lin offer to them would be a bigger sign that they didn’t plan to match Houston’s offer to Lin.

Never a defender of Melo, but here's another quote following the eye catching one in this post:"Anthony also said, "I'd love to see him back, but I think he has to do what's best for him right now."

Not the biggest Melo fan, but couldn’t he have possibly meant “ridiculous” in terms of how big the contract is or how the Rockets structured it?

Yeah, I think he meant that the money is a ridiculous amount. I don’t think he’s dogging Lin. He may hate Lin for all I know, but I think that comment was simply a throwaway adjective. See “sick handle”

He is a good scorer that doesn’t play defense and is a poor teammate.

Spot on

He is correct about the Lin contract but the exact sane thing could/should be said about his own. He is a good scorer that doesn’t play defense and is a poor teammate. He made the Knicks worse and the Nuggets got better after his departure. That tells the Carmelo Anthony NBA story right there.

but he had no business sticking his beak in Lin’s pudding.

Is there anyway we can interpret this in a racist way to add it to the list of things you can’t say in the same sentence as Jeremy Lin?

How much does Carmelo make to continually fail in the playoffs?
