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

[23Barrettcity]

Im not saying anything unreasonable.

Was I in favor of the Melo trade no, I wasnt.

Do I think the Knicks are a better team with Jeremy Lin than Raymond Felton? yes, I do.

Do I think CAA/Melo have too much influence over Dolan and the roster and do I think Melo was uncomfortable with Linsanity- yes , I do.

Did I think the second WOodson was brought in Dantoni was a goner? Yes. Was melo trying to get Dantoni fired by dogging it? Yes.

Was Woodson forced to fire his agent and sign with CAA to fall in line with MSG's plans? Yes, I think so too.

These are my stances. All in all I just want the team to win basketball games, I just think Dolan and his cronies have their priorities mixed up. It's a toxic environment.

I treat the Jets front office with the same disdain with this idiotic new stadium and them trying to CYA with this stupid Tebow trade.

Again your using your opinion to cloud the facts though. And that is because you don't like melo.
It's a toxic environment ? So why are we finally getting people to sign with us again ? What bad basketball moves have grunwald made ?? Ohh not resigning Lin and Being prudent ?
Melo is jealous of a guy he pushed to play ? He goes out his way to visit with ANd meet up with in Cali ??? You sound like a uninformed fan speculating.
Since you believe all these rumors why ignor the reports by isola( mind you the garden is in dispute with the daily news ) that a lot of Knicks players hr spoke too were saying Lin started to get a ego and was buying into his hype ?? The same thing Alan Hahn and Stephan A saying

no one ever realy knows what's going in within MSG...Dolan hasnt spoken to the media in how long know? Its been like 8 years.

ALl you can really do is speculate by the moves the Knicks make.

They overstepped Donnie and traded for Melo
Got Donnie out of here
Fired Dantoni and hired Woodson
Woodson fires his agent and signs with the same talent agency that runs MSG and reps Carmelo
Brought in Grunwald who has ties to Woodson and Isiah.

This was the plan all along once Melo was brought in to be the guy...sure im speculating but htere really isnt anything that's been done for me to think otherwise.

 

[23Barrettcity]

You're confusing me with someone else. I'm one of the more realistic 9er fans on here..hell...I'm more of a pessimistic fan. I hate Alex Smith with a passion, so at the "Go Stan Alex Smith" comment. I also thought the 9ers COULD beat the Giants. I didn't think say WOULD. And really, the Giants almost lost that game, so unpuff ya chest.

Breh, this is a messageboard, giving my opinion on a topic does not mean I care. The only person that cares in this discussion is you and it's clear as day to see by your emotional outbursts thus far. I personally don't think players should talk about $$$ publicly...whether it be theirs or someone else.

Giants almost lost ? Well we didn't though ubpuff my chest but why , we won the Super Bowl while you were home . Ok your opinion on the situation is noted anything else ?

FYI - Jeremy Lin's contract will be a locker room problem in Houston, too.

I told you what things happened . You just keep I ignoring them . Has Woodson or grunwald did a bad job ??? Didn't dantoni need melo to get Lin to play ? The plan was to get cp3 .

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

You guys are clowns. Lin got paid simply because THE CHINESE LOVE THAT nikka. The rockets made an UNGODLY amount of money from the chinese fans after they got Yao. This is simply a move to bolster the pockets of Les Alexander. These fukkers run this team like fantasy basketball. No sort of plan to build a solid team anymore. That culture team building left with Rudy T.

too early to tell.

If the Knicks are a 5 seed and lose in the first or second round then I'd say yea

 

[lachreyatarbabypits]

If Rondo and Tony Parker arent making 15 mil Jeremy Lin sure shouldnt be

Most of the roster are players still on their rookie contracts and the rest will just be glad they have some fans to play in front of....

 

[courtdog]

Front office and coach are cronies now? Grunwald replaced TD, Jeffries, Lin, Bibby with Camby, Kidd, Felton, Prigoni and he retained Novak and JR. Looks like he can make pretty sound basketball decisions to me.

Camby + Kidd = Felton & Prigoni = Novak is a keeper, JR Smith never really was shyt, and if you know how he carried himself while he was in China... you have to know he has character issues.
Those are not SOUND basketball moves. That is moves of a team that will miss the playoffs next year...

Of course guys would get pissed off. Think about it man, the third year of his contract he gonna get $14 million. Chauncey Billups got that and he was a finals MVP. Lin had a great run of like 12 games. He doesn't have a large enough body of work to command that type of money. What he does though have is star power and that does go a long way.

Its not even the starpower tip that everyone is saying is the reason.
He has that Kevin Kolb he could be the next great thing going for him.
Basically the exact same thing happened. If you wanna get rich, play good for 2/3 weeks than fake an injury til somebody shows you the moneeeeeeey!!!

Houston still has a locker room?

That culture team building left with Rudy T.

You could have a point there, but I don't think that was the driving factor.
Houston had him, let him go. Knicks got him. Houston can use a PG, and if Lin can play similar to his 2 week streak, its a steal.
Still, its Kevin Kolb all over again, but I think the potential is what is driving this deal
Kwame Brown signed for 8mil last year
Why is Brooks Lopez getting 15mil a year
Jeremy's 28mil ain't really shyt if...

If Rondo and Tony Parker arent making 15 mil Jeremy Lin sure shouldnt be

Houston let him go because the dude SUCKED compared to who we had on the roster at that position. Hell, we had LAndry, Dragic, and even Brooks when this dude tried out and didn't make it. Lin may have been an upgrade at the PG position for the Knicks, but would have been a regressive choice for the Rockets. But now this fakkit Morey has allowed EVERY fukkING QUALITY PG TO WALK, he want to replace them with Lin, simply as a marketing ploy.

So Knicks gonna end up paying for Fatson, Kidd and Jr? Should've kept Lin for the future.

No they aren't . Look at the way Lin plays vs any kind of pressure

Your squad won and your obsessed with the Knicks ?? the fear . Oh and Lin bytching out of the playoffs ?? I'll pass. At least Felton was able to kill the celtics

I'm sure the locker room will be perfectly fine with JR's brother getting a contract and roster spot he doesn't deserve.
