    So...did we officially make an offer yet or no? Has the 3-day clock to match started for the Knicks yet or not?

    If the Rockets wanted to increase the offer since it has not been turned in yet, could they?

    Maybe the Rockets haven't made the official offer to Lin yet because they want the Orlando trade to happen first, and getting Lin would interfere with getting Howard (and the Pips)?

    As the offer sheet has not been signed, I think it would be wise to significantly increase the amount offered over the previously reported 28 million. Lin would be a great PG for this team who will only get better, and at the worst, NY gets stuck with a bigger cap hit. Let's stick it to them for all we can.

    Offer him 58 million cuz the knicks have no choice to match. They will have a buldging luxury tax bill.

    It would make it harder for them to compete for free agents--taking off a big destination from the FA market over the next few years.

    3-year deal worth $8.36M annually, not 4-year deal like rumored. Interesting.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Source says that Jeremy Lin has officially signed three-year, $25.1M offer sheet with the Rockets. Knicks will have three days to match.</p>&mdash; David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) <a href="https://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/223867358656217088" data-datetime="2012-07-13T19:51:52+00:00">Juli 13, 2012</a></blockquote>

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Lin will get $5M in year one, $5.225M in year two and $14.898M in year three.

    Wow $15M for Lin in year 3. He gets my vote for amnesty candidate in year 3.

    LOL! They're going to match $15m in year 3? Can they even do that? I'm pretty sure that's not a team option anymore.

    Can only amnesty people who you had under contract when the CBA was signed. Anyone traded or signed after that can not be amnestied.
