Knicks won't match Houston's offer to Lin after trading
for Felton: source


http://ppt.cc/xjPg

In a stunning turn of events in the past 24 hours, the Knicks agreed to a
sign-and-trade with the Trail Blazers to obtain former Knicks point guard
Raymond Felton that all but ends the Jeremy Lin era prematurely and bitterly,
according to league sources.




Linsanity was fun while it lasted.

林來瘋曾帶來最後的歡樂。

One NBA source insisted the Knicks, with Felton’s addition, will not match
Lin’s new, ramped-up $25 million offer sheet from the Rockets. The Knicks
will have three days to reconsider amid a potential backlash.

一份NBA的消息指出尼克隊在得到了Felton的加盟，不會匹配林書豪的那份由火箭所

Thomas, 39. Knicks free agent Jared Jeffries was signed in the deal and
shipped to Portland in the package, along with Dan Gadzuric’s non-guaranteed
$1.4 million contract.



The Post reported on its back page Saturday the Knicks were furious the
Rockets changed the offer sheet for Lin and upgraded it to a $25 million
guarantee over three years, according to a source. The Knicks were bitter
because they told Lin immediately the club would match the original offer and
Lin apparently shared the information with the Rockets. Lin and Houston then
plotted to redo it.



ps.用到plot這個詞......plot也有描繪的意思，但我想這裡比較接近陰謀論的感覺。

Lin secretly flew into Las Vegas without informing the Knicks to renegotiate
the contract and sign it.

林書豪背地裡飛到了拉斯維加斯，在沒有告知尼克隊的情況下就重新協定這份合約並
簽下他。

The Knicks had been set to match Lin’s original offer sheet of four years,
$28.9 million that had a $19 million guarantee before the Rockets threw a
financial curveball that called for a $15 million third year that would have
doomed owner James Dolan’s luxury-tax predicament.



So this likely ended the Knicks’ endless blabber across the past two months,
swearing they would bring Lin back and that he was a “big part” of “what we
’re trying to do,’’ as coach Mike Woodson put it three days ago

所以這意味著尼克隊近兩個月與教練Mike Woodson三天前不斷發誓要把林書豪帶回來，
林書豪是尼克隊未來藍圖重要的一份子的發言將要畫上休止符。

The Knicks also would lose out on continuing to promote a global marketing
sensation.

尼克隊可能會失去持續擴大的國際市場。

Lin also may be a young point guard with an All-Star future, but apparently
Knicks officials didn’t think so. There was concern Lin’s success was a
function of former coach Mike D’Antoni’s up-tempo offense and would not be
as effective in Woodson’s isolation sets. Plus, Woodson does not like
playing young players and Lin was coming off knee surgery that cut short his
historic 26-game surge.



The Knicks had brought in Jason Kidd to be Lin’s mentor and Spanish League
veteran Pablo Prigioni as another backup at the point. The 24-year-old
undrafted Harvard point guard apparently had not earned the Knicks’ full
confidence he was ready for a full-time starting role next season.





心得：

Lin：不是說10億也跟嗎？

Dolan：第三年只有區區15M，所以我不跟。
