| Yeah, its kinda weird. The Rockets pay 8mil per year while resigning teams have to get 15 million on their books in the final year which is just way too much with the new cap rules. |

Could you link me a source? I haven't seen that.
EDIT: Nvm, found it Spears at Yahoo. But to be clear, I believe the Rockets would still PAY Lin 15 million. They'd only eat 8 million in cap hit. The problem for the Knicks is that they'd pay the 15, eat the 15 on the cap and then pay the tax on the 15. Sooo... yeah pretty smooth D-More.Last edit: 2012-07-16 04:12:47 |

| Knicks should just re-sign Lin, then again I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't because Dolan is a fucking idiot. They are going to be over the cap in 3 years regardless, but having Lin around guarantees millions of dollars in sold merchandise and international exposure. He is a walking cash cow, and on top of that he's a young, decent player with potential. |

As Anthony's comments would suggest, there could be concerns among the Knicks about Lin's contract and how it would be perceived by his teammates as well. Veteran shooting guard J.R. Smith, for example, is a far more established player in the league yet he recently signed a two-year deal that will pay him $2.8 million in the first season and has a player option in the second. In an interview with SI.com on Sunday, Smith spoke as if Lin would not return to New York. The Knicks, however, have not indicated that they made a decision as yet.
"I'm sure the city would love to have him back, but the team decided to go in a different direction," Smith said. "It's nothing personal, I don't think, just business. We just hope everybody can benefit from here.
"I don't really know how Mr. Dolan feels at this point with what the luxury tax is now and what it used to be, but I just hope it works out the best for both of them."
Asked if Lin's contract could cause a challenging dynamic with his teammates, Smith agreed.
"Without a doubt," he said. "I think some guys take it personal, because they've been doing it longer and haven't received any reward for it yet. I think it's a tough subject to touch on for a lot of guys."
Oh, so it's Lin's fault that Houston decided to throw that $$$ at him right?

| JR Smith is such trash in this interview lol. Some black athletes have really been classless about Lin, I'm sure he's not the only one to get overpaid in NBA and it's definitely not his fault the media blew up the way it did while he was putting up those insane numbers out of nowhere at the end of season. |

| Jeremy Lin is definitely not overpaid considering that his name alone is enough to bring a lot of exposure and million of dollars of avenue to his team and the NBA. Dude is extremely marketable that is for sure. |

| Anyone smarter than me able to run down the Scola contract, or are the details not available yet? All I saw is the minimum bid was $10m over 3 years, has it been released how much Phx is actually paying him? |

Jason Kidd's a shitty wife beating alcoholic and always has been. Sorry if this is news to you. It's a problem with a lot of pro athletes. |

Luis Scola gets 4.1, 4.5 and 4.9 million over next three years from Suns but only 440K is guaranteed in year 3. Nice addition for Phoenix.
