@7PMinBrooklyn @FDSportsbook Everyone here acting like the Rocket’s contract was a super max. Knicks could easily pay it the entire contract the first year. Melo acting like the contract would hurt the team because they couldn’t sign anyone in the future. Who did the Knicks bring in after Lin? Nobody

Melo wanted Jeremy Lin to stay ... but the contract the Rockets offered would've hurt the Knicks 😳 @FDSportsbook
Melo: "Did he deserve the match, yes ... what was ridiculous was the jump."
Lin: "My exit from the New York Knicks crushed me ... I would've done anything to stay."

Jeremy Lin reveals he tried to reject the Rockets' $29,000,000 offer and would have taken significantly less to stay with the Knicks
“I was crushed and my agent is telling me, ‘Be prepared that they won't match.’ And I'm like, ‘There's no way. There's no way. I got to go back to New York’”
“They could have offered me three years, $9 million, but there wasn't even that offer on the table. And when the Rockets offer came in, the first question I asked my agent is, ‘Are the Knicks going to match this?’”
“I was like, ‘Can you go back to the Rockets and tell them we won't accept this offer? We only want a lower offer.’ I tried to take less. I was trying to sabotage the Rockets offer.”
“I remember it vividly. I call my agent back and I'm like, ‘Okay, the offer came through. No, we have to get a less lucrative offer because I got to go back to New York’”
“Finally I'm like, ‘Can we just not accept their offer?’ And he's like, ‘No, we can't not accept their offer because the Knicks refuse to give us any offer. You have zero offers on the table. You have one offer and you have to accept it and leave it to the Knicks to match or not’”
“It was kind of difficult to see that people thought I willingly left the Knicks or did it for the money or whatever. I would have played for significantly less if that meant staying with the Knicks because my heart was always here”

@Checkmatee27 JR made a great offense rebound. Everyone should be mad at George Hill for missing the free throw
English

Maturity is realizing Bron had no business yelling at JR like that 😭
JR sold, but LeBron was literally near half court watching instead of boxing out. How you not in the play and still blaming everybody else like that?

@PlayoffDude He should’ve punched George Hill for missing a free throw

@Ballislife The blunder was missing the free throw. JR’s offensive rebound gave the Cavs a chance to win the game
