Well said! Knicks are awful and so is their GM. Carmelo has how much of a contract and never been in the finals? His playoff record is horrendous! Can’t stand the guy. He’s a narcissist pure and simple who doesn’t carry his weight. He spends more time and energy bitching and being jealous of other people than working on his own game. Pfft! Seems his karma is being on a losing team.

This is the most control this organization has exhibited in years. They didn’t overpay for a limited player who tried to use his perceived popularity to garner a bigger contract. Let him enjoy Houston. The Knicks have gotten better this summer. They’ve increased their depth at a position that was a team weakness last year, and they’ve gotten even stronger defensively in the post.

Lack of institutional control is the best way to describe this latest Knick fiasco. Dolan thinks he’s loyal to a fault- he’s right in that he’s just loyal to the wrong guys while he kicks the right guys to the curb- so now the talk about not matching this offer sheet has become more about the impending luxury tax ramifications in year three than the truth. And the truth is that Jimmy’s upset because he got played. If only he realized what he’s done to Knick fans since 2000.

Love how a millionarie a million times over is talking about another contract being rediculous…..Melo hated the fact that the team was actually BETTER with Lin and WITHOUT him

Most of my friends here are asian, and they’re all stoked about Lin back in Houston. There are probably more Vietnamese here than Chinese or Taiwanese, I don’t think it matters to them too much

They don’t like each other but if they can stick it to whitey, it’s a Yellow Brotherhood all of a sudden.

come from him seeing Lin not push himself and sit out a playoff series at 85%.

while Baron Davis played until his knee exploded at half court.

And how does this comparison make sense? You think Baron would have chosen to play a series they couldn’t possibly win had he known beforehand that he would be rehabbing an exploded knee for the next year?

This attempt at making Jeremy Lin being wronged by the Knicks and / or Melo is hilarious and pathetic. I am by no means a Melo fan, but maybe some of his comments (which are 100% accurate) come from him seeing Lin not push himself and sit out a playoff series at 85%.

Late to the party but as a New Yorker I watched a lot of Knicks’ games when Lin got the job (not a Knicks fan). The guy can play. He’s not a superstar, but he can be a starting PG on a title contender. Problem is he is not going to thrive under Woodson and his Melo ISO offense. You need spot up shooters around Melo for that to work and Lin is not that guy. He is for real though and he is light years better than Felton right now, plus he prints money for the team so I wouldn’t be shocked if they come in and match.
If the Rockets go with an up-tempo, PG friendly offense, he is going to put up very good numbers and all of you ‘he sucks’ guys are going to be surprised. I know its fun to hate him here because JMac posted 457 posts about him over a 3 week span, but he can be a very solid player.

/should also say I think the Melo ISO offense can never win a playoff series.

Glad that lockout thing fixed the problem of shitty players getting overpaid and B guys getting max money.

That was NEVER the problem, as either the players, agents, or owners saw it.

The problem was that the owners wanted to keep more of their money, and that’s what is happening now.

What about Yi Jianlian? Do the Asians care whether the player is good or not or just Asian? Because if it’s the former, comparing Lin to Yao is horrifically wrong.

Not comparing Lin to Yao. What Spears was doing was comparing the attention that Yao got and then saying that Lin got a lot during the “Linsanity” run last winter.

My bigger question is: Lin-Martin-White-Morris-Asik. Does this team even crack the Top 10 in the West??

This posting too fast thing is wrecking me.

Yep. Me too. Gonna go away and see if it dies down.
