Can we please give him Stoudemire'S $100 million contract!!?

He deserves it way more than this con artist! The same goes for Melo.

Let's build around our young players like Lin, Shumpert, Fields, with Tyson as the team captain and leader.

Stoudemire and Melo need to go!!! They have failed and they are keeping the team down.

Amare will shine with LIN....
Its Melo that will not be able to adapt....
melo/shump for Lee/Curry
 
The most possitive thing we can take from Jeremy is that he is like the missing gear in the machine that is this team. without a PG the Knicks are like a gameboy without button, it could be fun but you cant play it!

With a PG, esspecially one like Jeremy, the Knicks are a working team. Melo is the back-up PG and anyone who says "oh the ball stops with him" is retarded. The guy has changed his game for this team. and with Lin as such a driving threat and being a great passer its going to be crazy how good we are when were healthy. You double Melo, He gets it to Lin who drives and gets the bucket or passes off to STAT or Chandler in the Paint. You double Lin on the P&R Stat is open, you double STAT, Melo is probably open or a 3 point threat like Novak or Walker.


If we are healthy and Lin can continue to play well we are a big offensive threat and a very good defensive team. Im not saying we.ll go to the finals but when healthy this team can deff make some playoff noise.

One worry
D'antoni need to control lin minute more, 45 min is too much for any player in this compact season.

i agree Stat will do well with Lin ...Jeffires could not finish aleast 4 of Lin`s pick and rolls..... even Novack could see more playing time cuz of Lin`s ability to get in the paint and kick out for open 3`s but with Melo im thinking when things break down on O just give to Melo and let him do his thing ..with Lin Melo doesnt have to control the ball as much ..also means a fresher Melo come 4 qt... which we all know when Hot can take over a game

if you go on Jeremy Lin's website ( his friends ) you can catch a glimpse of when he went up against Wall in the summer league....

also below are some quotes from the Knicks players from palying against him.
"Those who have defended him say that Lin has an extremely rare arsenal of moves?the byproduct of posture, bent knees and peculiar fundamentals. And while being a dribbling expert sounds as exciting as being a chef who specializes in porridge, Lin has made it a devastating art. Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, who first guarded Lin during lockout exhibition games and now does in practice, said his possessions play out like this: When he's close to the basket, he starts an "in-and-out" dribble with his knees bent and his arm straight forward, creating the idea he can go inside or outside?and he does both. All of this is combined with what Jerome Jordan calls a "lethal first step." Lin is, in short, the NBA's undetectable star.

"He's got these moves?he's so fast and he's not playing high, he's playing so low that he's attacking your knees with this dribble. It's in a place where as soon as you make a move he just blows past you," Shumpert said. "To be that low, to have it that far out with your arms, it's pretty rare. I've never seen it."

Shumpert, known as a good defender, said there's nothing you can do to take his dribble away and he does not let up. Lin has other moves, with teammates praising his crossover dribble. When he uses these moves to get to the basket (and he always gets there), he does one of three things: finishes at the rim; passes to center Tyson Chandler, who will be open due to the defense collapsing on Lin; or finding an outside shooter, who are the most open of all due to Lin's penetration.

"It's the quickness that's low to the ground. I'm not saying he's like [Bulls guard] Derrick Rose or anything, but when you watch D-Rose closely, he's low to the ground and when you're that low and that fast, you see [Lin's success]," said Bill Walker.

Lin, who holds an economics degree, said he spent most of his summers working on dribbling, but cannot pinpoint when he developed the stealth movements he's burning the league with. "I'm working on trying to make it more deceptive," Lin said."


ITS really hard to beleive that NO NBA team gave this guy a real shot.....Hate to see it and say it but one thing its a bit racist......
