Not over yet:

The Knicks are not expected to announce their decision until this evening, and there is still a chance — albeit incredibly small — that it could be reversed. But as of 4 p.m. the decision had been made and was considered final by those with knowledge of the deliberations. Indeed, the deliberations were said to be over.

The BBS should prepare to welcome back its former Chinese overlords.

The American Chinese market share are belong to us!

[moestavern19]

At least we had a year off from all the YOFs.

I'll be exiting the GARM Stage Left now.

From a Knicks blog:

"Never in a million years did I actually think the Knicks would do this."

So does this mean Patterson and Morris don't have to share time at the point guard position?

Well, I'm a Morey fan, a big one, and I can only see this as a way to draw Dwight to the Chinese market. Don't like the move from a basketball perspective. I mean, people were saying bye to Dragic when he asked for 8m/y on a half season or so worth of great play.... Now the board goes gaga over Lin, at 8+m/y, based on what...2 weeks of great play? If we land Dwight, fantastic, win for Morey in every way, even if we lose Lamb. Outside that, I think it's a bad move, score first PG's who don't play D are just not my fancy. And don't give me the whole 8 assist a game thing when it was 7 TO's a game.

I have to think it's a different Chinese base. Lin is American, I can't imagine people in Beijing feel as strongly about him as they do Yao, but there will certainly be a section of them that follow our Lin.

Damn, I guess this means they won't be changing the Chinese Takeout uniforms anytime soon.

The Rockets have not yet received word on whether the Knicks are matching their three-year, $25.1 million offer sheet for Jeremy Lin, per source. The impeccable Howard Beck of the New York Times is reporting the Knicks will not match.

In recent days, two people briefed on the Knicks’ deliberations said it was unlikely the team would keep Lin. Yet both cautioned that the decision was not final and would ultimately be made by one person: James L. Dolan, the Madison Square Garden chairman.

Well played.

Is it time to shut down new registration at Clutchfans?

WE HAVE A MOTHER****** POINT GUARD!!!!!!

This is so huge to the development of our draft picks. A good point guard who looks to pass to the open man will work wonders with this young team! YAY!
