There were many reasons why the Knicks did not give Lin that money and the biggest one was that there would be players in the looker room who are better than him and did not get that type of contract and it will cause a problem if he didnt produce in ny. Does he deserve the money based on his small body of work? No. Can he play? Yes. Will he ever be more than an average player? Maybe only time will tell. He was smart in signing the deal he got but there are a lot of people I would sign at that price before him. And Felton will be ok if he loses weight.

the rockets overpaid for lin and asik. no idea why the rockets did that besides that they were hoping their original teams would match and hurt their future cap space. lin and asik for $50+ mil? that's rediculous. lin had 1 good month and asik averages 3 ppg and 5 rebounds. the rockets are rediculous. they're going to pay them $30 mil combined in the 3rd years of their contracts. both players wont be relevent in 3 yrs.
the knicks are smart to not have matched that. it's a rediculous amount of money for a player who is not proven and can't play with your #1 superstar (melo). personally i think the knicks should have traded carmello this offseason, but that wont happen. he's a ballhog and will not win you a championship. he doesnt play defense either, like most of the knicks. felton is a decent point guard. lets be honest, no team right now is coming out of the east besides the heat. the bulls are injured, boston is old and the heat just got stronger by adding ray allen. all we can do is hope the thunder can beat them in the finals next yr.
