Jeremy Lin: Growing Doubts on Lin’s Return to the Knicks

Five months after the introduction of the world, continued Jeremy Lin to various types of torture and pressure, and hysteria. Linsanity do as we all know that in February, when the word is similar to the joy and wonder, but mutations terrible phenomenon.

The deadline for the Knicks from Houston to match the offer by Jeremy Lin on Tuesday. F.B.A. Most teams wait until the last minute on these things.

Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin and Jason Kidd, Dallas Mavericks, and then, in February.

In this issue, Linsanity deliberately closed Knicks series happy. He is a fan of fear, of ferocious natural basis for other bars after 10 years in all.

As proposed five months ago that the Knicks Jeremy Lin, the most popular player than a decade to go, called worse.

And yet, it seems as if the Knicks. Or they could. As usual, their motives are not entirely clear.

And there are more tangible concept than a reality.


Several news services, citing an anonymous source said at the end of the week that the Knicks intended to leave Lin leave Houston for refusing to follow a three-year offer sheet of $ 25100000 to the missile. The reason is money.

Rockets third year balloon payment of the offer, including $ 14,980,000. Under the new system to punish the NBA luxury tax team assistant exceeds the limits of the forest, to the value of a Knicks to pay $ 35 million $ 45 million in additional tax payments.

While the Knicks happy and pay them more than a decade, but on the outskirts of Madison Square Garden. It could be your contract.

A person with knowledge "talk Knicks said it was" very likely "that the team refuses to match the offer. Both men warned, however, that "does not mean it."

Lin played well for most of February. The power stored in the garden and the Knicks' Choice season. It is the engine of global marketing. But $ 60000000 high, even in the NBA, is a player who started only 25 games.

Knicks officials are usually quiet and is not obligated to tell anyone until Tuesday - the deadline for delivery of the game in Houston. It is likely that no light until then. (It has established a tradition of NBA teams wait until the last minute on these things.)

Knicks interested in "telegraphed to watch on Saturday night when they reached a formal agreement for Raymond Felton, a senior guard from Portland. Although this is only possible policy Felton - Jason Kidd age of coverage (39) and lack of experience in the Lin - For many interpreted as a first step in breaking the relationship with Lin.

Lin says he stopped believing Felton was bought to replace. And again, Knicks, Lin even sure what to do, say the partners. You can say, without directly with the official team. And no one is responsible for items that are used Knicks, leaving the fan speculation and fear.

"I'm going for a walk. Perhaps the following. I do not know, we have seen, "wrote Jim Cavan, Knicks fans and bloggers, Twitter account Sunday morning.

Comments as usual because the fans are anxious address. Online petition demands Knicks to put Lin cycle. More than 2,000 midnight on Sunday gnees policy.

This is not a difficult decision or pressure. Lin restricted free agents, so the Knicks to match any offer. Early risers rights, provides additional flexibility to pay their salary cap Knicks like.

And as a result of the closure of a transmission unknown, Lin unique opportunity to provide more than $ 5 million of his salary. Provision known as the Gilbert Arenas rule, established to ensure that the team re-signed star Lin refugees without fear of beating a team with cap space.

management intentions and good to have unexpected results. These missiles can not beat the Knicks, but because it is under the lid, you can make a balloon payment Lin poison pill, as it is called - the third year of the agreement. Houston was originally set figure of $ 9300000 and $ 14980000 then be increased to nearly the maximum allowed.

For the purposes of closure, estimated Lin that the average salary for three years in Houston, or $ 8.4 million a year. However, the Knicks have to be paid in full for the year 2014-15, costing $ 50 million to $ 60 million in salary and luxury tax combined, the main rival.

Lin says that you can say that they are the first two years - $ 5000000 and $ 5400000 - and the Knicks have time to pay either their work or as a last resort for the third year of business for Lin, at the end of the contract be a product . The Knicks are still in the editing of the test.

Lin will pay the third highest in the "Knicks in 2014-15, some behind Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. It will do little more than Tyson Chandler, the lead counsel.

Even in F.B.A. Players who do not use the fly to offer every month of July, which seems incredibly Lin. Anthony, who spoke to reporters with the U.S. Olympic team, said on Sunday.

"Not I," he said. "Depending on the organization say they want a contract commensurate with humor."

Probably true that the salary is not unreasonable. But the power of the New York Knicks fans and beyond, the idea of ​​placing Lin Linsanity less pure, and not the good kind.
