JR Smith - "Lin's contract would be a locker room problem"

[NYC Rebel]

just dont see how Melo is suddenly concerned with a contract being ridiculous as if his contract isnt holding the Knicks back either....and how much they gave up to get him.

Melo's contract isn't holding the Knicks back though. Everything Melo has said post the Heat championship was about him carrying the Knicks on his back. You think he feels he can do it alone....fine. I think he's looking at the team's ability to get pieces around him and sees how the Rockets are trying to get in the way of that hoping the KNicks basically close themselves off from having any good pieces around him with that fukked up LIn contract.

The very fact taht you as a Knicks fan have spent more energy posting about this than the Knicks potentially fukking themselves re-signing Lin says where your real priorities are.

Ain't nothing like hating a niqqa athlete, huh?

 

[OG Talk]

Exactly my point.
Never do you see this shyt in almost any support, the players are usually a brotherhood against ownership and always get their fellow mans back when getting paid.

But Melhoe and Smith coming out like this is pathetic.

That's not your point.. You brought race into the discussion.. My point was more about the petty jealous nature of the Knicks players..You're making Lin a victim or outcast because he looks different...

 

[RickyGQ]

if Dolan wasnt lighting cigars with 100 dollar bills I'd go for this...

lol what does have to do with the fact that it was cheaper to pay the luxury last year going back than it is now?

The Knicks are a better team with Lin running the point than Felton.

As for your last sentence, fukk off.

because Dolan doesnt give a f about the luxury tax...

raise ticket prices, concessions....nothing that hasnt been done before...ppl will still go.

 

[chineebai]

you're talking about an inferior league. one year in the nba is worth a career in the chinese league.

JR Smith said longer, as in time, not difference in league. Inferior or superior has nothing to do with what he said himself ./

 

[23Barrettcity]

You seem to fail to acknowledge that while they might not be saying the same exact thing, their actions are in the same vein.

Both are openly being critical of another man's contract, for different reasons, but it's still in the same spirit.

Only guy I Can remember pulling this was Favre, not good company to be in

admit you still mad about Eli and the gmen

 

[BAMBA]

There are like a dozen threads on the Knicks about this but not one calling out the Rockets for paying Lin superstar money?

 

[jfkennedy]

Lin isnt getting 40 mill

Where did I say he was GETTING $40 million?

I said he was COSTING them them that much. If you don't understand what's going on, don't comment.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Exactly. He never said anything was wrong with Lin getting that money. He spoke about the Rockets trying to fukk up the Knicks with them trying to match that offer.

When you say "That man's salary is ridiculous" you're pretty much implying he isn't worth what he is being paid.

raise ticket prices, concessions....nothing that hasnt been done before...ppl will still go.

so we can all make another thread about how dumb dolan is with his money, making ticket prices astronomical for giving Lin a dumb ass contract when he's not even playing?
sports fans aint shyt...

The Knicks are a better team with Lin running the point than Felton.

As for your last sentence, fukk off.

Man please. Lin is far from a certainty and I guess you have no problem with the Knicks paying Lin tha tmuch.

Fine with me...as far as the last sentence...I see it clearly.

Never do "certain" athletes evolve. At least I don't need a website to tell me someone I celebrated is suddenly overrated.

You're see through my dude.

fukk the Knicks anyway.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

admit you still mad about Eli and the gmen

I got nothing but love for Eli, he is an amazing player.

I do want to beat you guys in the NFC championship game though on a missed FG or some other fukkery. Actually, nah just 42-0 blowout would be more fun

 

[RickyGQ]

When you say "That man's salary is ridiculous" you're pretty much implying he isn't worth what he is being paid.

yup... let's not look at what he actually said... let's sit back and try and figure out what he's "pretty much saying"...

 

[NYC Rebel]

When you say "That man's salary is ridiculous" you're pretty much implying he isn't worth what he is being paid.

He didn't say that man's salary is ridiculous. He said his "contract" was ridiculous and if you decided to add the ingredient of context, it was the contracts structure he spoke about. But you seem more interested in turning that into salt.
