Dear Commons Community,
This post is for all of the New York Knick fans who are scratching their heads as to what happened with the Jeremy Lin contract and his move to Houston. The Knicks decided not to match the Houston Rockets contract offer by last night’s deadline. The New York Times has a good analysis of the issues but I am still not sure how and why this all played out the way it did. This will be discussed for many weeks on the sports news programs but the bottom line is that something is strange in Knickville.

Letting Jeremy Lin go is a really bad move from a marketing/business standpoint. Besides having a greater upside than Raymond Felton, keeping Lin would have been a better move in the eyes of Knicks fans. And why is James Dolan tightening his pockets all of a sudden? It’s not unlike him not to overspend to get a player.
Hope this move brings more Knicks fans over to the Brooklyn Nets 🙂
