    It's not some move. The Marquis Daniels situation with the Mavs is mirrors Lin's in so many ways.

    Why is everyone acting like Lin is getting a max contract?

    He was basically a rookie last year (in the Blake Griffin rookie sense, I guess) and put up a 20 PER. 8 million dollars a year is a great investment for that.

    Please tell me how a 6 yr 38 million contract is similar to a 3 year 25 million contract.

    that's hilarious because when lin was doing his thang, the 610 idiots got on maury for letting a "superstar" get by them.

    I know you're being facetious, but just because one guy sucked doesn't mean everyone after him will.

    Lin is a risk, yes, but people are acting like signing him is a dooming a franchise.

    The funniest part is Lin signed a deal with a team who cut him and he doesn't want to play for thinking the NY match would be a sure thing. Oops. Got to hand it to Morey if this happens because it is a genius move by him. Lin will be good and bring the Lin only Chinese fans over affecting attendance, merch sales, team publicity, etc. . Now, we need Howard and we could have an excellent tandem to build around. And, I won't cancel my league pass to boot.

    Daniels didn't suck, he couldn't stay healthy.

    Whatever, we won't really know till Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Its all a silly game, and you can't trust the Knicks at all.

    Quoted for truth.

    The guy was a wing who had some insane numbers in 2003 - and he slowly dropped off each year after that.

    Didn't play PG though.

    He played PG when he started off with the Mavs under Nellie.

    app. other ppl. reporting otherwise

    Jordan Schultz ‏@206Child
    Source confirms that while #Knicks remain highly concerned about Lin's third year ($14.9 million), remain likely to match Jeremy Lin offer.

    Jordan Schultz ‏@206Child
    Third year of Lin deal financially is the issue in terms of #knicks going well over the luxury tax; organization really likes his potential.

    That just makes your argument look even stupider.

    Eddy Curry signed a big deal then got fat. So we shouldn't sign Dwight right?

    Even more comparable because of Lin's injury history and need for surgery.
