Ever Heard of The GQ Cover Curse?
Wrong. Linsanity is over. It was a New York thing.
The NBA games have started and like Janet Jackson sung, "what have you done for me lately?"
Not Much
I miss Marcus Camby and Sheed.
dude is the biggest star we had since Ewing.... I do remember the excitement we had when Bernard king was battling detroit and Boston in the playoffs, and spree's resurgence here, those were great.... Linsanity was almost unreal..
the guy is the biggest star we had since ewing..

Unfortunately we are about basketball...We need ballers...Not into the reality star biz....We need guys on the court to man up....

Exactly holfresh the only thing that matters is what makes us a better team.
I'm 50/50 on Lin...
I do feel he was overrated the hype was beyond ridiculous but he had talent and no question we gave up on a good talent. Hope he does well, he's a very classy guy and gentleman's gentleman.
Hopefully we can get another meaningless Lingreat thread to two pages!
Pull together guys!

We let him walk and got nothing in return is the biggest issue. Smart successful teams handle assets differently

ya but at the same time our pg situation is pretty good. felton looks like a man on a mission. Prigioni looks great even at 35 and kidd is the best backup you can ask for

I like most here wanted Lin back but not at those prices where it would just absolutely kill our flexibly going forward...I would have loved to see Lin here coming off the bench because I think he is a score first guard..I think it's important to have some one in the line up looking set up Amare, Melo and Chandler...Felton can do that...Felton and Lin would have been perfect for me...But to me, Lin saw a chance for personal glory in Houston..He saw the opportunity for him to have his own stage and he went for it...I'm good with that...I saw ESPN 30 for 30 show about athletes going broke...I think they have to do all they can to make the money they can, while they can...More power to em...But I'm won't sit here and try to blame Melo for something he had nothing to do with..Or Dolan for not matching that ridiculous contract...If Lin wanted to be a Knick, he could have called Novak and JR to see how it's done...
Meanwhile, I won't miss the nerdy pre-game show he and Fields had going on...For once in a long time, this team is focused on ball...Coach made his rounds over the summer to let people know he is serious about this season...Everyone has been working hard to bring their portion to the table...I'm not worried about the dude posing in GQ, trying to grab a few headlines...I'm worried about who is taking the charge in the lane come Nov. 1, old school Knick style !!!!

well he has come in camp in great shape and has looked good in preseason so far distributing. Also felton has said that he wanted to shut up the doubters so i like that confidence
I can't get on holfresh and and anubis you guys never changed your tone. Whether right or wrong, you were not sold on Lin and wanted Felton back. I can respect that. We shall see..over 7months left to dissect Lin, felton, the rockets and the knicks
Good lord. Dudes act like we traded away a young Westbrook or something.Lin was good at getting Lin points.
Every player we traded hasn't done much since they. Realistically the Knicks haven't lot any difference makers.

True, I'm not sold on Lin, but I wanted him to get a chance to learn..People are thinking he was ready to run a team against the Heat, I don't think so...How do u think Lin would be as lead guard of this team currently constructed???...I would love to see him come off the bench and grow into the role..People think he is ready for prime time and he haven't played a full season in this league...With the organization being so heavily invested in Amare, you need a capable PG running the show...Which is why I think management went into PG overkill...Lin had a role, lead guard, I'm not sure...
