“Linsanity” is over in New York. The Knicks declined to match the Rockets offer and surprisingly, Jeremy Lin doesn’t seem as excited about it as he should be.
Jr Smith came out and said what many on the Knicks were probably feeling about Lin’s contract, had the Knicks decided to match, would’ve potentially caused issues in the locker room. Ultimately this was about business and a Harvard grad was smart enough to negotiate a bigger and better payday elsewhere because the Knicks allowed the market to set the price. Lin struck while his stock was the hottest.
I wonder how the Rockets feel about this statement.
