This is pretty much the same deal Landry Fields got from the Raptors but with a team option for a 4th year.

How much is the 4th year? It seems like it'd be around 6, but who knows.

Re: TWITTER: Rockets Offer RFA Lin Deal; Poison Pill for NY to match

Knicks should match just to force the Rockets into a sign-and-trade. Rockets can hand over some depth to replace Fields, and maybe even get a pick or something out of it too. Knicks could then continue by signing Felton, with Kidd backing up. That's the best move forward for the Knicks IMO.

Can't sign and trade Lin.

Re: TWITTER: Rockets Offer RFA Lin Deal; Poison Pill for NY to match

Nine million for a decent starter isn't much of a poison pill. Considering the extra revenue that Lin brings in, I'd be surprised if the Knicks have to think too long about this.

It's called gamesmanship. True, while it might not bother Dolan all that much, Houston is making a statement to the Knicks...plus they are rolling the dice. Maybe the Knicks don't pick up the contract...you never know, might as well toss those dice.

They will match, no doubt about it, and pay the luxury tax if they still have him in years 3 and 4, but I don't know if Lin is a long-term solution to what ails the Knicks.

Re: TWITTER: Rockets Offer RFA Lin Deal; Poison Pill for NY to match

Honestly, Lin isn't worth this much fuss. If I'm the Knicks I'd let him go and opt for Felton.

Felton very possibly could be the better player.

Don't think so. Lin is still young.
