Mayo to the Mavs.

Love it, got him for a reasonable price too.

Los Angeles Lakes, Orlando Magic, you know the rest. (ESPN)

I can't stand the direction this Knick team is going. How can management muff this up so badly? Even if you don't want to match Lin's offer how are you not prepared for a scenario where Lin is not the Point Guard? They could have been the team that made a move for Lowry, Collison, etc, but no they add Felton & Kurt Thomas. When JR Smith & Melo (who I don't even consider too much of an athlete, relative to the rest of the NBA) or on the bench they might have the slowest team of all-time (Felton/Kidd/Novak/Camby/Stat/Thomas) ugh gross.

I'm defecting and cheering for Brooklyn.

You aren't allowed back when your new team wins only a dozen games.

Yea, but at least they'll get a top 5 pick in the draft. The Knicks have given me too many bad seasons capped off with draft picks ranging from 7-10.

[Quom]

I really don't get all the talk like Lin is the saviour. I will be amazed if he ends up worth half of his contract. He is no Rubio.

At least the Nets know when to resign an over-exposed, over-rated, media celebrity when they have one as seen today with the 2 year Humphries deal!

Jeremy Lin's gonna have an amazing year in Houston. He fits their system perfectly as McHale loves running his offense through the PG (See the monster years Lowry and Dragic had). Finally, something went right for Houston this offseason

[Toe]

In the last year of that contract, wouldn't Lin - good or bad - be an attractive trade piece due to the big expiring contract?

Can always trust New York fans to keep it classy

Christ, I am glad I don't play sport professionally. NYK may have just joined my least favourite teams list for having fans like that. I am sure they would all refuse to go to another job that involved doing exactly the same thing but with more freedom and much better pay.

[Benjamin]

Stay classy, sports fans.

You do realise that your favourite teams have fans like that, right? Like, lots of 'em?

EDIT: Not saying that it makes it right, far from it - just saying that it's a little silly to single out the Knicks for that.

[Benjamin]

Obviously the only cool fans are Spurs fans

[gunnar hendershow]

Why are the comments displaying the most recent one first?

Don't be silly, the T-Wolves don't have any fans.

[Maxx]

I'd love to see how fast those people would jump at the chance to sign that contract, regardless of who it might screw over.
