    Kicking myself for saying this, but "The Lin-cision".

    Yes, 10.2 million split over the first two seasons... and about 9 million in each of the final two seasons.

    You fail at math.

    Not a Math error but rather a comprehension error that lead him to an amount greater than $28M

    You Fail at Diagnosing the Fail:p

    Yes sure 10.2 split.. Similar terms were offered to Gogi if not better but he refused and remember maybe Goran is far better player (maybe he is not) but he would lose in revenues game for 50 points :D sport=buisness

    Drafic refused because they wouldn't offer him a fourth year player option, not because of the money.

    A Lin-cision sounds like a special move by a surgeon named Jeremy Lin

    Lin makes more money off the matching offer than NYK could have signed him outright. $23mm v $28mm. Doesn't seem like much of a conspiracy.

    Isn't it closer to 30 million over 4 years. If so we are talking about a 7 million dollar difference over 4 years. Id say 7 million divided by total deal being worth 30 million (Almost 25 percent) is a significant difference than making 23 million. You think getting a 25 percent raise for your work is insinificant?
