the reason the KNiocks didnt sign Lin is because that 3rd year at 14 million we werent going to pay.. So what makes u think a year later, after a season of Lin playing average or below average, the Knicks want to change their minds now?? Lin's value is down and MSG doesnt need butts in the seats or else they wouldve signed him last season.. His value went down since last off-season.. i swear whoever writes these articles are retarded
u dont have to be a Jeremy Lin fan or rocket-scientist to know this article is BULL....,,
The Houston Rockets had a 45 win season with Lin playing all 82 games, averaging 32 minutes of playingtime, 13 pts, 6 ast, 3 rb, 1 stl, 3 turnovers, on 44% FGA, making 1 out of 3 from 3-ball line .. these are stats from a first full season NBA player. Did Lin rush to sign the Rockets first offer? NO! Do u think Lin have a
NO Trade Clause in the Rockets 2nd offer? Hell Yeah!
As for Lin coming back to the New York Knicks organization, a team that broke off all communication with Lin the first day of the 2012 offseason. A interim GM Grunwald walking a tight rope of being FIRED (5-18 start), untill Lin-Sanity performance leading the point made all interim-Grunwald offseason pickups (Shump, Tyson, Jefferies, Novak) into (25+ minute) winning players in a 13-3 run.
There were to many games in MSG where the sell-out crowd only gave standing ovations to Lin & Tyson.
When Amare & Melo return, even Novak receive standing ovation over our two super-stars.
Lin's big mistake as a Knicks was wanting to win on defense creating the offense.
Which lead to a few games where Lin did not pass the ball to a no-defense ISO-Melo (Dolan's Goldenboy) ..
No more to b said.
The trio of "Mchale, Harden, and Lin" had a big misunderstanding the final 15 games of the regular-season.
It's a new team...
