Marketing reasons
Al Iannazzone @Al_Iannazzone
The Knicks just confirmed they are not matching Houston's offer sheet to Jeremy Lin.
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo
Knicks spokesman confirms that Jeremy Lin's offer sheet will not be matched. @JLin7 is now officially a Rocket.
real talk
^ not a chance.
Kobe and Lin starts next year![]()
Whatever happened to NY matching Houston's offer up to a billion dollars![]()
lol sons Stern will now have to rig the All Star voting again to give the more deserving player the starting spot.
but like I said a few days ago this is good business for Houston ... Goddamn good business.
Still can't believe Knicks let this asset go, while giving 13 million to 38 year old Camby and what, like 12 million to 39 year old Kidd?

That's the one thing I find funny about all this, Dolan got Ho'ed.![]()
sons again Houston is not paying this type of money for his production on the court. they know damn well they could get just as much production on the floor from a $3-5 million per year player, but Lin is a marketing dream. Lin will sell tickets and bring in a ton of revenue for years to come for them. Goddamn good business decision by Houston here.
Lin is going to get in the ASG with ease. If Yi Jian Lian was almost voted in, Lin is going to get in there almost unanimously. Those Asians will do anything to get one of their kind in the game that they worship so much despite the fact that it's become trash, and has always been trash. If Iverson returns to the NBA with the East, he'd get voted in as well. The Asians love that sucking gangster.
Steve Kerr was right, the voting ballot should be held in NBA arenas. You don't want some Al-Qaeda members voting for Haddadi now do you?
Son, I'm already thinking of opening a Chinese restaurant near the Toyota center... "Lin House"![]()
also sons like I said the other night I am happy for Houston sports fans. this will give them something else to go see other than going to Minute Maid Park to watch a potential no hitter every night by the visiting team pitcher against that AA team the Astros.
Right down the street from Yao's![]()
They can merge and name their joint restaurant "Yao Lin".
son that is a guaranteed, short-term, successful business idea. I suggest open it up in reasonable walking distance to the arena, advertise the out of it for a year, and then sell it as you would have numerous foreign buyers interested. you could probably make a small fortune of a few hundred grand if you do that. build it, hype it up, and get out.
Son, I'm thinking of adding a few side events, like "be an Astros for a day", where everybody gets a chance to strike out in front of fans and family.
And he might just turn out to be a solid NBA player on top of selling tickets.
