Fundamentally Sound
Felton is not the same player, had a down year last year and gained like 25 pounds

We roll the dice again, my good man.
I implore you to keep some of the faith, regardless of how we all know that underlying ****tyness still lingers like an onion ring fart.
We have our defense, too. I'm very happy for that.
I don't think Lin was the be all and end all of this 3 year window, and if he's mutinous, then he can eat a phat meat flute.
At least we won't have to listen to him rattle on about Jehovah any more, either.
Sup broheem? :beer:
I'm legit amiss though at Lin being mutinous? I thought NYK brass was proactive and clear in wanting the open market to set a salary for him, and we would then react off that (and presumably match most anything).

I thought we'd have matched Houston's offer almost immediately, myself. Odd bit of behavior. It remains unsolved, this little phishy mystery we've got here.
We'll see what eventuates..........
What have you got your money on?
Indeed! James Colon is always one colon too many.
To hazard I guess....keeping in mind the *major* powermoves made on behalf of Melo (the deal itself, the ensuing decisions made to, and around, both Walsh and D'antoni), and that James Dolan, after a temporary nap under Walsh, has been re-awakened, and that his ego is the one thing he values more than making some more billions:
The behind the scenes questions about rifts between Lin and Melo were not exaggerated; and while likely NOT manifesting at the time, their personal feelings about one another (as well as MDA and Woodson) ran much deeper than any of us would have ever thunk.
By sheer default, this would pit Lin vs Dolan.
Melo-Woodson is Dolan's golden child. After what he has sacrificed and done to get, keep, and lock up both of them -- and for what will be the 3-year window that will define this franchise in this era of basketball, and Dolan's legacy.
During the negotiating process and window of Lin's free agency, I imagine the said rifts and underlying feelings manifested more (either within the confines of man's own self, or in physically manifested disagreement).
This + Dolan's ego thinking his master plan doesn't need the lingering horse and golden boy tethered to the MDA period, has him say **** Lin. **** paying the $ and poison pill contract, and **** him personally (and everyone else not in line with James this whole time).
And I'm sure this move wasn't something which would cause much grief or backlash from the two most important NYK personal and players to Dolan: Melo and Woodson.
My own Kiayspiracy. eace:

After winning over the Asian community with Jeremy Lin, the Knicks now expect to win over fat people with Ray Felton.
LOL!!!Kurt Thomas?? Instead of getting younger and more athletic, we are putting together a geriatric team. WTF is Dolan thinking?
And can we stop this talk about getting CP3 in a SnT? We have no tradeable pieces that could possibly interest Clippers.
Lastly, I am happy that Felton is back but not too thrilled about him being a starter.
LOL!!!
who said he was a starter!?
We got to add Kmart as well. Then another SG i suppose.i think this was a great move. as much as i ragged on the Giraffe, he definitely found his niche,
and I'm sorry to see him go. But trading him and Gadzooks for Felton and Kurt Thomas is NOT a bad move.
I think the Knicks will still sign Jeremy Lin. WHY?
just to F*CK WITH HOUSTON C*CKETTES! We got Feltip, they cannot!
Having 3 true point guards (Young-Ling, medium-Fat Felton, and old man Kidd) who can
supplement each other, and keep a steady flow at the point is key!
Having ex-Knicks back in the fold (Kurt Tom, Camby, Felton) is awesome!
savvy vets, O&B!
either way, I'm very happy with these moves, I think Felton will get back in shape,
he's got enough time to do it, and motivation!!
Now we wait 3 days and sign Lin! or not...
c'mon Mr. Colon, suck it up and sign Spike Lin!! this team will be complete!!
PS: aw f*ck, I forgot about the Prigger!

Melo dose not t want Lin stealing his shine or him on the team period. the. end.
expect a deadline trade of some sort
CP3 to the knicks is a very real possibility now that melo and cp3 are holding hands in vegas

@JaredZwerling
Melo & Chris Paul walked through media room here in Vegas & Melo said, referring to CP3, "You'll see him in NY in a couple years."(smiling).
