he needs to cut that shyt out and sign with us already
If the Knicks match the 4yr/$30mil offer here's what the Knicks books will look like:
2012-13: $75,637,533 + $5,330,533 luxury tax
2013-14: $79,454,667 + $14,758,417 luxury tax
2014-15: $88,318,399 + $38,537,047 luxury tax
So in 2015 Lin will cost Dolan/Grunewald an additional $25 million in Luxury Tax alone.
Is Lin worth it?
You tell me. Essentially you're signing him to a 4yr/$65 million deal because of the Luxury Taxes you'd be paying starting this fall on his contract.

Not only that $25 million in 2015, but you'd also pay roughly $10-12 million in taxes for the first two years of his contract as well, lose your MLE and pretty much be screwed to signing anyone for the next three years.

BK to NJ, but always a New York Knicka
This the same dude that gave Houston 100 mill, Clarence Weatherspoon 35 mill and Shandon fukkin Anderson like 50 mill.Lin is a cash cow and will be one of the few left on the books in 3 years when everyone else is up to be resigned (or retired - I see you J Kidd
)Why am I even gettin into all that? fukk I look like carin about Dolan's money?

I have the utmost faith in Grunwald's ability to find cheap gems. We spent years trying to find a star - now we have the stars and just need the pieces. Locking up our core for the next 3 years and worrying about spare parts off the scrap heap after >>>>>> my concern with Dolan paying the luxury tax and not being able to sign dudes with the MLE for the next 3 years.
Our window is NOW.

Exactly. It's not about the money but the flexibility.
Well we can't have it all look at the heat lakers our window to possibly win a title is short fukk I look like worrying about future flexibility

Good to see we got Kidd, but now Lin want to fukk around and shyt. Just sign with the Knicks already.
Is it too late to talk about the J Kidd signing? If you ain't on the net the moment some shyt happens you lost 
$3 mil a year? Eh I ain't stressing that. I would have much rather a 1 or 2 year deal. Keep in mind tho next march he'll be 40.
.
As far as Felton goes y'all acting like he didn't give us a few good months in NY. Yea he sucked in Portland, but so did everybody else. Dude was out of shape, in a system that didn't work for him and was the coaches whipping boy. Fact is under Larry brown he did well and under dantoni he flourished. Plus he can do pick and rolls pretty well.
All I'm saying is if Lin gets too expensive we may have to consider other alternatives.
