    It's not Lin's fault what teams offer him... like he's gonna tell Houston "no, that's too much money, give me 10 Mil less and we'll talk."

      Thing is if you believe his BS about wanting to stay in NY he could have negotiated with NY instead of forcing their hand with an offer sheet. I'm not blaming him for taking the money, I'm blaming him for crying about it after it wasn't matched.

      Houston are the biggest losers in this deal. They have a overpaid question mark on their hands.

          Bynum better hold this deal up by saying he won't sign an extension with neither the Cavs or Magic.....

            You didn't get what I meant. I'm saying if he wanted to do it for basketball reasons he could have stayed in NY for less money. Suddenly come Rockets with that 3rd year money which absolutely zeroed his chances of staying with Knicks. I'm not criticizing him for the decision. I'm just seeing it as going for the money.

              Remember when that one guy in here got told that Dwight going to the Lakers was a fantasy scenario that he should stop talking about?

              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                Was he even offered a contract by the Knicks or were they just waiting for him to get an offer, then match?

                    Kyrie and Bynum would be amazing. Love Drews game, if he is traded id hope its to Cleveland, will watch plenty of Cavs if he does. How do you feel about adding Bynum potentially?

                      Not like it would last long though. Remember just where exactly he would be going to - Cleveland.

                      I can already tell you how this story goes. Bynum is going to get traded there, play really well, make the Cavs look like a really strong playoff team, and then not even halfway through the season his knees will fall apart and keep him out for the season. Not only that, but it'll be an extremely severe injury he suffers, leaving him a shell of his former self the remainder of his time with the Cavs. To make matters worse, he'll be laying on his couch (crutches resting solemnly against it) in June watching the Lakers beat the Heat in the NBA Finals and Dwight winning Finals MVP after decimating the thin Heat front line all series.

                      It's destined to happen. It's fate. And fate is a ****ing bitch who hates Cleveland and anything Cleveland sports-related.

                        There are few players in the NBA that I think would be a perfect fit for the Cavs right now, and Bynum is one of them.

                        If I were Cleveland, I'd be willing to give up just about anything. Only person who is untouchable is Kyrie.

                          Did anyone ever consider that Lin maybe WANTS to play in Houston and isn't just chasing the paper?

                          Or that he DIDN'T want to play in New York where everyone has already expressed that he's not worth the money?

                          I don't know, I get what you're saying though, but this is the modern day NBA, you can't expect guys to turn down millions of dollars.

                            I kid! It should be a fun season to watch. My Knicks have no shot anyway.

                              From what we know they were waiting because he expressed interest to see what he would field. Guess NY figured no one would overpay.
