Only if he comes with.

If the Knicks bring back Charlie Ward, too, he's instantly the second-best quarterback in NY

:rofl:

 

[DJ Rhude]

Ha, Sprewell!

 

[jeffx]

I'm surprised - with all the loot made off Linsanity, I thought Dolan would match.

 

[Proof21]

Knicks should trade for Jimmer..hell I would throw in Salmons as well!

 

[jeffx]

I didn't see much of the Kings. You're that down on Jimmer?

Sorry Knicks fans but they're still more than likely going to match the offer for Lin whether they have Felton or not. It's been reported that they'll take the entire 3 days to sign the offer sheet since Lin signed the one with Houston but everyone inside the Knicks organization is saying Lin is the starting PG next year. Let's not forget the statement "We'll match any offer for Lin up to and including 1 billion dollars."

"Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that Lin would not only be back but would enter next season as the Knicks' starting point guard,"


ESPN Rumors..

But don't get so caught up in defined positions. If Lin returns, he could still be the starting point guard. Even though the Knicks now have three point guards, Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni, ask agents and scouts around the league and they see Woodson as a coach who likes to mix up lineups and sometimes use two point guards in the backcourt. The benefit of now having Felton and Kidd is they both can knock down the 3, which the Knicks struggled to do last season outside of Steve Novak. Felton shot 45.9 percent from downtown with the Nuggets in the second half of the 2010-11 season and Kidd is third all-time in 3-pointers made (1,874). Lin can also nail the long ball, as he shot a respectable 32.4 percent in his first-time starter role last season. In addition, Felton also helps fill the defensive void on the perimeter from Iman Shumpert's absence. In his seven NBA seasons, he has never averaged less than 1.2 steals per game. ... a source very close to Lin believes the Knicks will match because 'he's legit and they make too much money off him that $25 million is a discount -- even if they will be $30 million over the salary cap." In other words, Lin = what luxury tax?

Stephen A. Smith saying Knicks won't match :dunno:

 

[EmpireWF]

Here's the scorecard…

Jared Zwerling (ESPNNY) - Sources close to Lin believes Knicks will match the offer sheet.

Frank Isola (NYDN) - Source familiar with the team's thinking believes Knicks will not match.

Mark Haggard (South Carolina reporter) - Felton told him the Knicks planned to let Lin walk.

Marc Spears (Yahoo!) - A league source says it's highly doubtful the Knicks match.

The NYP reported yesterday the Knicks were pissed with Houston and Lin for changing the offer sheet. After the initial details came out, the NY told Lin they would match but he "apparently" told Houston this and they redid the offer.

Then, there's the original quote like Argath posted…the Knicks would match any offer he got because he's worth it in marketing alone (luxury tax be damned)….unless Dolan feels slighted or Woodson actually prefers to play the veterans instead of Lin (despite what he's said publicly).

Tuesday night is the deadline to match the offer.

He's already turning into a Knick bum, Wow..

 

[Mogriffjr]

If Knicks match, in year 3 of lin's deal they would have 4 players tying up 75 million of their cap. No way they are matching.

Lin could be traded before year 3 potentially.

 

[Argath]

15 mill expiring is a huge trade chip

:lebron: Can't wait until the Knicks get smashed in the playoffs.

 

[partners panic]

Now they are going after Grant Hill

Shit is hitting the fan. Anyone see JR Smith's comments?

 

[Lumpkin]

:rofl:

Has anybody asked Allan Houston how his knees are doing? Maybe he wants to come down from the owner's box and give a come back one more try. We're going to ball like it's 1999!

Shit is hitting the fan. Anyone see JR Smith's comments?

Between this and Carmelo calling the contract ridiculous it seems pretty clear what the "locker room" wants. Hopefully they will all be prepared to play next season because if Lin walks and they get off to a slow start next season, the media and fan base is going to shit on them.
