Knicks should be able to negotiate a TV deal in asia that would bring back multiples of his salary and cap hit

Ticket prices were raised when Melo got here. I'll give you the TV rating increase though.
I'm sorry but too many people are focused on the $$$ Dolan will make but I hardly hear anything about the team's success. I want to watch a good team compete for a title. All the money going up to the Dolans means very little to me.
Bottom line, keep Lin if you think he can be the guy to lead you to a title. If not, move on with the pieces you have.
Yes, exactly.
MSG's stock lost 50 million dollars in value on Monday because of the rumors. Just saying.
Someone needs to be fired if this "stretch provision" affects signing JLin. Signing all these PGs doesn't make sense and then you find out wait you can spread out the the luxury tax over a few years so lets change our mind and match for JLin. WTF do you do with Felton??

What Lin did with Houston should not have anything to do with it. Wasn't it a couple of days ago we saw that article on Lin being upset that the Knicks didn't make him an offer before Houston did and that "Lin needs to realize it's a business". Same goes for the Knicks except double, they cut and trade guys all the time after telling them you're in our plans, look at what they did to Billups.
2) would the knicks still part with lin in a way to say "up yours, prick" for trying to leech every dollar out of us that he could?

Knicks Now Seem Set on Letting Lin Go
The Knicks plan to cut ties with Jeremy Lin on Tuesday night, according to a person briefed on the decision, ending a brief, spectacular and now bittersweet love affair between the 23-year-old point guard and his adoring fan base. Lin will play next season for the Houston Rockets, who signed him to a three-year, $25.1 million offer sheet that the Knicks have elected not to match.

Lin will be a Rocket. Knicks deliberations over.
well this sucks.... somewhere the Nyets owner Provalone is licking his lips over all the casual basketball fans Dolan just gave him. I mean the Nyets roster sucks but they haven't traded away a fan favorite player either....
The Knicks fan base will be fine. All the bandwagon asian Linsanity fans will migrate to HOU and we'll have our core/loyal fan base at the forefront again.
