I caught some heat over a post I did insinuating that Jeremy Lin would be going to the Houston Rockets. Well, it looks like the Lin dynasty will settle on the home of candy paint and purple drank, and sign with Yao Ming’s old team (avenge his honor, brother). The fact of the matter is that H-Town put up the big money and the Knicks have until Tuesday to match it. Don’t hold your breathe, people. Even Carmelo Anthony has stated he thinks the $28.9 million contract is ridiculous. The fans seem to really want to Lin to stay, even an online petition has been started to try and sway the Knickerbockers office.

Now, moving onto more disheartening Knicks news involving Jason Kidd. He messed up big time this weekend and crashed his cliche rapper mobile into a telephone pole after a charity event in the Hamptons. He was driving his 2010 Cadillac Esclade when he lost control and veered off into the woods at about 2:00 AM on Sunday morning. Fortunately, he only sustained minor injuries and pleaded not guilty to DWI charges. Kidd will have to face the music in court soon.

What do you think the future hold of the New York Knicks?

Big L is in rap heaven laughing at it all: “I’m from New York and never been a fan of the Knicks”

The fact of the matter is that this contract was made to hurt the Knicks. Lin could have signed a contract without the 14.5 million last year payment. Factoring in the salary cap tax the Knicks will have to pay that year, the actual real dollar amount of that last year comes out to 42 million dollars, for the last year alone.

Lin is good, but not 42 million dollars good. More importantly, Lin should not have signed that contract if he wanted the Knicks to match. This is what Melo is referring to as ridiculous.

i agree. i think 1. it was only 35 games …2. bad knees already. 3 he aint worth the tax hit. 4. the knicks was doing dope when felton was there any way. i’m not sour , i would have liked for him to have stayed , but i’m a knick fan first. what they need to do is get ride of amre , so we can have even more cap space to sign chris paul in 2013 …

Lin is no idiot. I think he signed that deal because he didn’t want the Knicks to be able to match it.

I say dis was a smart move on Lins part. Why not go with a franchise who plans to make u the face of their team. That equal to who knows how many endorsement deals. With dat being said their gonna provide him with every possible avenue to get better. I mean it’s a win win situation provided they make it to the playoffs next season,so the pressure will be on. Thats Wat we live for tho right!
