On Sportcenter they were saying no chance of Knicks matching the offer. The 3rd year of the deal would cost them 30mil because of the tax. They are peeved that Houston upped their offer from the original amount and also angry that Lin signed. They thought he should've shown them some more respect for giving him a chance. Apparently it's gotten to Lins head a bit and the Knicks are not happy.
They obviously don't need Lin now but it is a shame to see him go.
You could really argue both sides to this quite easily.
To be honest Lin would still be behind Kidd and Felton, so 30 mill is a bit to spend on a back up pg. He wouldn't see as many minutes as he would in Houston. A better situation for him, more minutes to showcase his skills!
Yeah, I like Felton, he had the Knicks running very smoothly before he was traded. Lin was good for the Knicks when Amare and Melo were injured. But it's not really working with them all playing.
Knicks have made a solid decision, even though it may upset some people.
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Timberwolves have submitted a four-year, $46 million offer sheet for restricted free agent Nicolas Batum.
The Portland Trail Blazers now have three days to match the offer or let him leave for Minnesota. The two teams have been having conversations about the 23-year-old swingman from France for over a week. The Wolves were hoping that Portland would agree to a sign-and-trade deal and tried to draw out negotiations as long as possible before filing the contract Sunday evening.
See the Wolves' massive offer for Batum??

That's been on the cards for a while, I don't think he is worth that much, but that is just my opinion!
It's all about not getting the Blazers to match, word is Batum wasn't too pleased with the extension they offered him a little while back that averaged $5M/year.
More on Kidd... http://www.sheridanhoops.com/2012/07/16/kidd-arrested-for-dwi/
Since his domestic charge back in 2001 I think it was it seems he had really pulled his head in, but now this..... what was he thinking!?
Yannis Koutroupis: Brandon Rush confirms the Los Angeles Lakers are interested in him. Negotiations are ongoing. Twitter

Nope, Woodson has come out many times saying Lin would be starter.
Woodson is a moron then!! They both are better then Lin, by far.
Lin is still overrated! Don't really care what anyone says about that, Felton and Kidd both run a team better, especially a team consisting of amare and melo!
