1.The best thing about the Lin situation is that the Knicks could've just signed him during the season but Dolan told him to shop around. Everyone knew someone would give him a loaded back end deal but Dolan is just...Dolan. Still I like Felton.
2.Batum is worth every single penny. He's a 20 year old athletic wingman with elite defense and three point shooting. Everyone knew someone was gonna offer him a loaded deal.
3.If the Lakers land Howard we're favorites in the West.
I don't think the Knicks wanted Lin but they appreciated what he did for them. He's streaky and will never play good defense and doesn't really fit well with the Knicks stars, even if they do like him. So when they say "we would pay a billion dollars for him" but then 30 million is too much (which is weird considering how the Knicks usually roll), I think they were probably just helping him get paid. Otherwise it's a "I would do anything for Lin but I won't do that" situation... then again it's the Knicks so
