Great article NY post.. Knicks under dolan is a joke.

[Tkf]

this article hit the nail on the head. It is disgusting how dolan and MSG treated linsanity and has propped up this loser bozo carmelo instead.This is one of the main reasons why I hate the way this franchise is run and why many have lost faith in this franchise.

http://nypost.com/2016/06/17/how-despicable-knicks-pretend-linsanity-never-happened/

this sums it up for me.

Last week, on both MSG Network and MSG?s website, appeared ?MSG Countdown,? this one providing a timeline of exciting, memorable ? even if forgotten ? successful achievements by Knicks in the 21st century.
Included are big scoring nights from Carmelo Anthony, the night the Knicks, still long-range-reliant, hit 20 3-point shots, and the time Kurt Thomas played with a broken foot.
However, the singularly most unexpected, extraordinarily exciting and successful 21st-century Knicks happenstance was omitted: Those three weeks when an undrafted scrub who was about to be cut, Jeremy Lin, took an injury- and star-depleted team and turned the Knicks and New York City and its environs into Holy Mackerel Land, those three weeks when ?Linsanity? erupted with an all-in, run-and-pass offense that led to countless uncontested layups and an 8-15 team winning seven straight and eight-of-nine ? including wins against the far more talented Lakers, Jazz and Mavericks.

Boom!!

The night when Tim Hardaway scored 29? That was deemed a keeper. Lin?s 38 points, seven assists, four rebounds and two steals against the Lakers? Nope, not included. And that?s sad, sick and insulting.
It was no coincidence that the Linsanity outbreak was due to Anthony?s absence. The Dolan Knicks had thrown in with Anthony?s style ? give him the money, then the ball, let him shoot, everyone else just loiter off to the sides ? which was antithetical to what Lin?s style brought for three fantastic weeks.

I guess after all these years Dolan still holds a grudge for Lin signing with Houston. Definitely the most exciting 3 week period I can remember as a Knicks fan and should be mentioned in any Knicks highlight show of this decade.

So many thrilling moments that I still remember in Lin's run, 38 pts scored against the Lakers, last second game winning 3 against the Raps, his first dunk against Wall in DC. Single handedly turned around the Knicks season according to Jared Jeffries.

He's not coming to the Knicks but I wonder if Houston with D'Antoni would sign him again they need a PG.

Great, another NY Post article from Phil Mushnick, the same guy who less than 2 weeks ago decided to write an article taking aspects of Muhammad Ali's legacy to task. Yeah, Dolan sucks, but so does Mushnick.

Did you see that Chad Ford trade he did for ESPN Insider that Mafra posted in the game thread. Melo..Rolo to the Cavs. Len..Knight.. others..2 first round picks to the Knicks..KLove..Kyrie to the Suns..Bledsoe to the Cavs. Stupidest trade I've ever heard of and ESPN expects you to pay for Insider so you can read that garbage.

Journalism isn't what it once was with the internet and the decline of the news business.

I actually had some hope for the knicks that they lucked up and landed the ideal player for dantoni.. well that was short lived thanks to dolan and carmelo.. smh..

As far as lin goes, I think he stays in charlotte.. that is a good fit for him..

CHA was a good fit but it makes me laugh when he says money doesn't matter to him but yet he opts out. The Hornets have a number of decisions to make so Lin may be the odd man out.

I may have the facts wrong, but from what I recall... Lin negotiated and settled on a # with Dolan... Contract was agreed upon... Then he shopped that figure to HOU (to get them to up the ante)....

I can't blame Dolan for feeling betrayed here... Not for giving a flash in the pan a huge contract.

I don't blame Lin for wanting to capitalize on Linsanity or for wanting out (away from Melo).

NYK made a mistake for losing an asset for nothin but didn't err really, bc JL didn't live up to the contract.

He had a good year last year tho.

Shouldn't the bigger mistake be letting Crawford & Randolph go for nothing?

Also... The mistake that ruined the NYK for 10 years was Walsh's error... Do field a somewhat competitive team while they waited for 2 years for Lebron.

If we tanked it... Heck, if we lost 3 more games each of those first 2 seasons... We land Westbook and Curry instead of Gallinari and Hill.

Absolutely letting Lin go to Houston was the right business decision at the time. Lin got that poison pill contract from Houston where in the 3rd year of his deal he got paid 18M and the Knicks would have had to pay about 40M in salary and tax if they matched Houston's offer.

If they could have picked him up last year for what CHA gave him it would have been a great move and filled that backcourt hole we had. Seems the Knicks do hold some sort of grudge with that snub of Linsanity and will never sign him, too bad.

I went back and looked at the MSG timeline:

http://www.msgnetworks.com/shows/ms...top-moments-21st-century-knicks-timeline.html

What makes Linsanity not making the list so suspicious is how included in that timeline are big games from guys like Iman Shumpert, THJ, and JR Smith, where in some cases the games aren't even that noteworthy. They could have easily hid better that they were ignoring Linsanity by choosing a different set of moments from over the years.

The real truth of the matter will come this free agency period. If we don't at least kick the tires on Lin, then clearly the bad blood is still real and not just coming from the website content creators.
