    This isn't really big NBA news... I just thought it was interesting that 6 months ago, Scott O'Neil razzed Daryl Morey at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, thanking him for letting the New York Knicks have Jeremy Lin and giving him an autographed Lin jersey.

    Today, Lin is back with the Rockets and O'Neil is gone from the Knicks.

    Looks like Daryl Morey will have the last laugh...Morey should send him an autographed rockets jersey.

    Apparently if you're not with CAA you won't last at MSG.

    The guy who tweeted the news said he is with CAA. Said that Scott had issues with the Knicks owner. Both Scott & Lin were Harvard graduates.

    O'neil was highly respected. Dolan doesn't like intellectual winners, that's why he had to get rid of O'neil.

    This just means that Isiah Thomas is going back to the knicks.

    Let's chalk this up to a victory. Seeing as how those will be few and far between this season.

    Haha at this point I don't even know if Thomas can do much more to screw up the Knicks. Unless they start to play as a team instead of play individually they're going no where fast.
