Jeremy Lin gives Knicks hope for being a contending playoff team

I think the NBA is a little more fun to watch when the Knicks are relevant, kind of like the Raiders and the NFL. I didn't like Carmelo in Denver. Sure, he can score, but what else? Not a damn thing. If he hasn't transformed his game by now, he probably won't.

 

No way Lin is gone. His marketing power is insane. He is wildly overrated as a player and wildly underrated as a marketing phenom. People love him irrationally like tebow. He is money in the bank jerseys and tickets and tv ratings.

 

No idea but it isn't Lin. The Knicks have plenty of money for Lin who will pay them back easy. The Knicks will match the offer.

Also I was right to mock the enthusiasm of istlts who was calling Lin Chris paul

 

I would guess Baron Davis is probably gone after that bad knee injury and the fact that he used to rely on athleticism. Maybe keep Bibby on the roster but not in the rotation unless Lin (possibly brittle?) or the aging Kidd get injured.

Yeah, Lin brings in huge revenue off the court. I'd love for the Rockets to get him just to have a little excitement but don't think there's any chance the Knicks won't match.

I think there is a rational love of Lin. He's the underdog, somehow got the Knicks on a roll when they were without their "stars", put up some big numbers, and seems likeable. Sure, he had the turnover problem but he was playing with a different starting lineup each night as (basically) a rookie. They were asking him to create. Give him an offseason and preseason with a stable group of players and I think he can be good enough to minimize turnovers (although not score as much).

 

Well damn the Knicks signed Raymond Felton which I think means I was wrong and Lin is a rocket

 

Yep, unless they need 3 PG's for some reason, or maybe just develop Lin into a shooter.

 

You never know with the Knicks...
