Donnie Walsh has left the building.

He has addressed "Stake holders". They are called share holders BTW and the stock has gone from 20 to 56 in three years. Knicks are most valuable franchise in the league. Attendance is high and viewship is up.

In the Mecca he answers to no one. In the UK we talk "Sports". There is another reality.

The smart move is to trade him

Football Mike Golic??

Correct

Thay even talk Knicks on Mike&Mike In The Morning

Leads to the next question, why should I or anyone for that matter listen to Mike Golic about basketball, because he has a mike??..pun intended...

I was gonna say divide it by 2! Lin was an exciting kid with a whole career ahead of him and our owner wasn't willing to pay him $25 mil
Letting Melo walk could mean Dolan is no longer starphucking.

Lin: 13 pts and 44% fg last year and 13 pts and 46% fg. I see what you mean, Lin leaving definitely hurts more than a player who lead us to 54 wins last, and put up 29 pts and 26 pts these last two years... Oh, I forgot, most around here value potential more thn actual production....

You mean the dude who lost his spot to Patrick Beverly, who several NBA teams cut before the Rockets got him? The same dude that the Rockets were looking to dump in the first year of his contract? That dude?

As opposed to dude leading a .350 team?

Yeah. That dude has led 11 other teams to a playoff berth beforehand and is still regarded as a star.

amazing the stats you cling to to support this career loser. fg% is hopelessly outdates except for big men. he remains an inefficient volume shooter who destroys team cohesion and is a sub-par defender.

lin has a 59%TS this season as an orchestrator and close to a 1:1 ratio of usage to assist rate. here in new york his floor impact was undeniable until he ran out of gas and got hurt. now he is fitting in just fine with his new team, 28-15 and in the playoff hunt, likely as a top 6 seed.

You must have misread that and thought I said Lin was the better player.
You seem to know nothing about value. You can't expect the same production for $25 mil that $125 mil brings. Do you expect a $100,000 house to be just as nice as a $2 mil one?

If that's the case, then wouldn't it hurt more to lose something that is more valuable?

come on. the league is bloated with too many teams and a diluted talent pool. the playoff format allows over 50% of the teams in! that's ridiculous.

making the playoffs is no big deal. it's definitely not something to tout, especially since he has made it out of round 1 twice, or only 20% of his career.

Then multiply that heartache by four and that's what you get by losing Melo for nothing. We got Lin for nothing. For Melo, we gave up every asset we had at the time and this time around, would be left with nothing.

Then multiply that by 1,000 when we hand Denver a top 5 lottery pick this summer.

amazing the stats you cling to to support this career loser. fg% is hopelessly outdates except for big men. he remains an inefficient volume shooter who destroys team cohesion and is a sub-par defender.

lin has a 59%TS this season as an orchestrator and close to a 1:1 ratio of usage to assist rate. here in new york his floor impact was undeniable until he ran out of gas and got hurt. now he is fitting in just fine with his new team, 28-15 and in the playoff hunt, likely as a top 6 seed.

Should have known if I throw a number on the ground, the non-basketball playing stat geeks come'a swarming. With your own TWO EYES, are you telling me that Lin is a better player and has a bigger impact on a team than Melo?

Curious, how did you and Bonn determine who were the best players in the 80's before all these geek numbers were available?
