Why are we still talking about the 40 mil contract? It is just a rumor. OTOH, if Houston does offer Lin 40 mil, let them have Lin.
As for Goran Dragic, he is a highly sought after FA now that DWill is off the market. I wouldn't be surprised if he asks for 40 million for 4 years.
But that would be based on his basketball potential, and not the potential skrilla his presence on a starting roster would generate. But I'm not completely objective on Goran, cause I was high on him the year after he was darted, even got into arguments on here about how he looked more consistent and like a better pro than Gallo did at that point, and all he needed was mins.
So, I admit that my viewpoint is a little skewed on whether or not he's worth 40 million. But I wouldn't have a problem taking that gamble. The Knicks would need his help tho, since that money would have to come by way of Lin's Bird rights, and then a trade. We can't just let Lin go, we have his Bird Exception, which is an asset. Assets are hugely important to teams with very little wiggle room with the cap situation.
The amount & term of the offer sheet is a rumor, but the meeting isn't.
