Hartnett: 'Linsanity' Was A Myth
Let's face it: keeping Jeremy Lin was an on-court and financial gamble the Knicks couldn't risk taking.
Let's face it: keeping Jeremy Lin was an on-court and financial gamble the Knicks couldn't risk taking.
Lin became a Houston Rocket on Tuesday night when the Knicks refused to match a three-year deal worth about $25 million, ending a brief but amazing run as New York's point guard.
Linsanity in New York is, well, gone with the Lin. Did the Knicks make the right move or will regret eventually rear its ugly head?
Jeremy Lin could be a starting point guard in this league for a decade. He could make All-Star teams. And the Knicks just gave him up for nothing.
The Rockets will now get a second chance to capitalize on the point guard. Except this time, the unknown player Houston waived before last season will come at a high cost.
Ever hear of the stretch provision? It might just save Jeremy Lin's career in New York.
No, he did not live in Lin-denhurst. And no, he did not commute through the Lin-coln Tunnel. But Jeremy Lin did produce as many puns as turnovers.
No way the New York Knicks were letting Lin get away back then, when he was the biggest thing in basketball. Things are different now.
This is what you'd call irony. Knicks fans, at least the majority of them, want James Dolan to step in, overrule his basketball people and bring Jeremy Lin back to the Garden.
Well, Linsanity was fun while it lasted.
Some Knicks fans aren't ready for the end of Linsanity.

Carmelo Anthony said Sunday it's up to the New York Knicks to decide if they want to match the "ridiculous contract" that the Houston Rockets have offered Jeremy Lin.
The common argument out there is simply that Jeremy Lin is not worth 15 million dollars in his final season. No, he isn't, but that doesn't matter one lick from a basketball perspective.
