I can't believe Lin b*tch a$$ signed another offer sheet by the Rockets so that the Knicks couldn't match the offer. He is jumping ship and only played less than HALF A SEASON? Why not stay in NYC where you got a opportunity to show your skills and where the fans showed you love?

NBA is a...............dirty business:lol:



I want these players to FAIL next season

1. Ray Allen
2. Jeremy Lin

I don't think Lin did what Allen did. What Allen did was much worse. The Knicks could have matched Lins offer. But instead they got Kidd and Felton. Isn't Baron Davis still on the team too? What Allen did was worse, because he left for less money. He abandoned ship and joined the enemy, the team that just beat them in the finals. I wish Lin the best of luck with the Rockets. I do hope Allen has a terrible season though.

Lin signed another offer sheet after the first one. If he had stuck to the first one then the Knicks would have matched it but he signed a second offer sheet knowing the Knicks wouldn't be able to match. Dirty Business:lol:

I really don't blame Lin for signing the offer sheet with the Rockets. They were willing to OVERPAY for him. I would've done the same thing probably. lol

Larry Brown said on the radio that Lin making $15 million in year 3 of his contract was way too much and Dolan made the right decision

Yeah,I think Lin did the right thing for him. And the Knicks did the right thing for them. Knicks replaced him, I mean they got Kidd And Felton two starting point guards for different teams last year. The Blazers and The Mavericks.

And that was STUPID. Why sign a 77 year old Point Guard before your YOUNG and UPCOMING point guard??

Jason Kidd to me is still a great pt. guard. Lins only played well for one year. When the chips are down come playoff time. I think Kidd is still the better player. He would give you the better chance of winning games, especially with a nice change of pace younger better scorer on the bench like Felton. But Kidd is a veteran leader something the Knicks need in the worst way. Kidd can stabilize Carmelo, Amare, Chandler, Felton etc.

Have you forgotten that Kidd did nothing in the playoffs this year?

I wouldn't say that he did nothing. He made plays; he just couldn't find his shooting touch. That has always been Kidd’s problem .He is either hot or he's not. But with the Knicks they have so many other scoring options. Kidd shouldn't have to be a scorer. I think I would for the most part split minutes with him and Felton.

I watched every OKC/DAL game and he did nothing to earn a 3 year contract at 39 years old. Why would they even sign a player that old to a 3 year deal? I think once you hit 39 all deals should be one year at the max

I think Kidd still has a good 3 years in him. I personally would have probably only signed him to 1 year myself as well. At the same time though. I'd be willing to bet that he will surprise you. Nobody can play perfect all the time. So, he had one bad year big deal. He played great in the playoffs. The year before this, when they beat the heat in the finals. The Mavs struggles this year we're caused by letting Chandler go. And by the poor play of Lamar Odam. He destroyed any chemistry that team had.

I;m not going to lie Kidd was the sh*t during his Nets days but now I think he is a backup and not really a starter.

He probably is just a good veteran back up now days. I will be rooting for him to return to his old form though. I think with this team he could definitely get his assists back up to double figures. More than likely Felton will be the starter though. At least it will start out that way, from watching Felton with the Blazers. I would say he’s a better scorer than he is a passer or ball handler and he isn't a leader. We should have kept Andre Miller.

LOL@Solomon dissing Jason Kidd saying he's 77 years old hahahahahahahaha. Jason is old and the Knicks are gonna regret letting Jeremy go. They should've kept Jeremy because they don't need Jason and Baron Davis. The Knicks getting Raymond Felton was a good move but i don't know why they let him go because they had him before. I read that Jeremy doesn't have to pay taxes in Houston because the state of Texas doesn't make residents pay taxes. That's good for him because he's gonna be able to save a lot of money. The writer of the article i read also said that he doesn't understand why more pro athletes don't play for Texas teams since you don't have to pay taxes.

I think the Knicks made a huge mistake in letting him go. I think they are the victims of short term thinking. Kidd is not what he once was. His stats last year were embarrassing by his standards. Kidd probably has a few good years left in him at best, and I have a feeling that Lin will be an all around stud in three years. I can just see New York now crying, and regretting this decision in 2016. Lin's biggest issues are turnovers, and inconsistent play. He will work on these things, and when he does, he will be a complete player. Bonehead move on the Knicks part imo.

Melo was the one who didn't want him there. He wants to be the STAR which is why I now want the Knicks to FAIL

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. Just goes to show how stupid Melo is. In three years, Lin will be great. He's already good, and a team of Melo, Stoudemire, and Lin would have been a strong trio. Instead, Kidd and Baron Davis will be gone in a few years, and instead of having a contender, the Knicks will be in the rear view mirror of the Lakers and the Heat.

I agree with you on Kidd. Even in fantasy basketball, nobody wanted him last season. He was always in free agency. 6 points a game, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals is not good at all. The only thing that will keep him in the starting lineup is his name recognition. With those stats, if he were anyone else, he would be a bench player.

I agree with you Brad Russ. I always like your opinion. The Knicks are gonna regret letting Jeremy go. The Knicks will never win a championship with Carmelo and Amare ballhogging. Plus their defense isn't that good. Tyson Chandler is a good shotblocker but he's the only one that will play defense. Amare used to be a decent shotblocker but he stopped doing that. The Knicks got Marcus Camby back and even though he's a good shotblocker, he's old, injury prone and needs to retire.
