But seriously, I'm kind of pissed that we're losing Lin. I like Lin a lot.

Brodeur · 07-14-2012, 10:05 PM

Felton was absolutely awful last year.

bigbluedefense · 07-14-2012, 10:10 PM

He was great under D'Antoni's system.

But I don't know how effective he will be anymore. He's fat and unmotivated, that's his biggest problem. Maybe coming back to NY gets his ass in gear?

Either way, I'm not happy we're losing Lin. Lin is clearly superior to Felton, even you can't deny that.

Brodeur · 07-14-2012, 10:12 PM

No, I won't. Felton was useless last year and got benched for...umm..Crawful I think. I forget who Portland had.

WMD · 07-14-2012, 10:12 PM

I have no idea what's going on in the NBA anymore. These contracts and trades are crazy and I don't understand half of them.

P.S. Why hasn't Charlie Villanueva been amnestied yet?

soybean · 07-14-2012, 10:15 PM

Felton is terrible. We chose Ramon Sessions over him, that's all you need to know.

bigbluedefense · 07-14-2012, 10:22 PM

Maybe we still sign Lin?

:(

I thought Dumars has said he's not amnestying him?

WMD · 07-14-2012, 10:29 PM

He should. Our roster is pretty full and it's especially crowded at his position. Plus he sucks and gets paid too damn much.

Sam Amick: Conflicting info out there, but source insists Raymond Felton's deal with New York will pay him approximately $18 million over four years.

Bixby (Thumper) · 07-14-2012, 11:28 PM

So BBD, is Jeremy Lin still a superstar, future great, all-star who is a cash cow that can finance an entire team? Or is that all over now that he's a Rocket?

And everyone else says 3 years for 10 million so someone is going to end up being wrong.

Jared Zwerling of ESPN: Source close to Lin thinks Knicks still match. Keep in mind this: Even tho Felton is a PG he's a shooter too. Woody likes to mixup lineups.

I have a premonition of the Rockets picking up Yi as well, Yao then will come out of retirement, then Wang Zhizhi will leave the kitchen of the carry out in houston his working at, and finally the round out the starting lineup Chen Jianghua will finally make it to the league and fulfill his Chinese Iverson prophesy.

Sun Yue will come back as well as a 6th man. He'll bring his experience as the only one of the group that has won a championship.

And then China will uncensor every website for a week and then that will be the west's starting All Star lineup.

JoeJoeBrown · 07-15-2012, 12:05 AM

Sun Tzu is now coach of the Rockets.

D-Unit · 07-15-2012, 01:16 AM

Kyrie Irving is a moron.

Docta · 07-15-2012, 05:01 AM

The Cavs are morons for even letting him play in the SL. They're **** without him. Out of all the players that teams can't afford to lose, he's top 5

fenikz · 07-15-2012, 05:04 AM

How does the amnesty bidding work? Does it go to just whatever lottery team bids the most money?

Dragic - Marshall
Mayo(?) - Dudley
Beasley
Scola - Frye - Warrick
Gortat - Fropez

ATLDirtyBirds · 07-15-2012, 07:45 AM

I still think Lin will be back.

ATLDirtyBirds · 07-15-2012, 07:48 AM

And I still love that trade. Kurt Thomas is awesome.

Well if he weren't playing summer league he'd probably just be playing some pick up league, better he learn his lesson now than during the season. One thing though is that glass hands can be habitual. If he can break his hand by slapping a pad he could face future issues with his hand just by dunking or getting caught on screens. Hopefully he gets everything taken care of and heals slowly and the right way.

LonghornsLegend · 07-15-2012, 11:09 AM

I keep hearing the Mavs listed as 'distant 2nd' in the Howard trade sweepstakes. When did this happen? I knew we were an option if he was a UFA but in terms of trade value, what do we have to trade that Orlando would want?

How would be have an offer better then Brooklyn, Houston, or Atlanta?

Y! Sports story:"Highly doubtful" Knicks match Lin's offer sheet after acquiring Felton.Lin's HS coach says PG stunned.

Melo called the contract 'ridiculous' when he was asked if the Knicks planned on matching
