Knicks’ coach Mike Woodson thought of Jeremy Lin as a backup
Jeremy Lin may be gone, but the non stop chatter about him isn’t. The constant comparison of Jeremy Lin to Raymond Felton along with the question of whether the Knicks are a better team with or without Jeremy Lin appears not be ending anytime soon.

Felton not so much a fan of Jeremy Lin comparison
Since he arrived for his latest go around with the New York Knicks, Raymond Felton has been compared to last year’s point guard Jeremy Lin. Those comparisons seemed to have gotten to Felton who told the New York Post ahead of tonight's match up in Houston that he does not really get the comparisons between he and Lin, both because of their resume and style of play.
We’re...

Ronnie Brewer: A Solid Pickup for the New York Knicks
Some of the drama dealing with the New York Knicks this off-season was Jeremy Lin. The theatrics that enveloped why the Knicks front office let Lin go without an ounce of return was the nucleus of the Knicks brand.

Jason Kidd Setting the Tone For Knicks On Both Sides of the Floor
For the Knicks, bringing in a veteran (and Hall of Fame bound) player like Jason Kidd was necessary on many levels.After spending the second half of last season riding or dying on Jeremy Lin, it was obvious a stable floor general was crucial. Kidd represents a number of things Lin does not. Perhaps most importantly, he's one of the most experienced players in all of the NBA...
Day 4: The 80 Million Dollar Man
Not to take anything away from Mike Conley (see below), but it’s kind of hard not to get on the James Harden/Jeremy Lin Score-A-Thon Bandwagon right now… It’s only 2 games, but that makes the math a lot easier when we figure out that Harden is now averaging 41 Points Per Game.
Line of the Night: Mike Conley (2.37) helped Memphis jump out to an early lead against the Warriors...

Nets: Deron Williams Says Don’t Compare Raymond Felton to Jeremy Lin
The Brooklyn Nets star point guard has went against every Knicks fan in New York and said Raymond Felton over Jeremy Lin. Williams made the statement outside of a Nets scrimmage he was unable to partake in because of tendinitis in his foot.

Deron Williams says Knicks' Felton is upgrade from Lin
If anyone knows about Linsanity, it's Brooklyn Nets star Deron Williams.
After all, it was a game against the New York Knicks last Feb. 4 when Jeremy Lin finally broke out and started one of the craziest and most fun phenomenons in New York sports history.
Williams was the man Lin outplayed that night and the rest is sports history or — depending on who you talk to — sports...

Season Preview: New York Knicks
The Knicks are an enigma wrapped in a mystery. The Knicks found Jeremy Lin, the man who saved the Knicks season the first time (Carmelo held it down in the final month, but we dislike him), and promptly dropped him. Now, the Knicks seem to be going in this direction where they acquire every veteran in the league, with the hope to acquire a championship. Even with an tumultuous offseason...

New York Knicks’ Tyson Chandler Honest About Jeremy Lin
Great read from the New York Post. It’s finally nice to here someone on this team speak up about Lin. Point Guard play is so important with this team. Lin was not a “sure shot” so why risk the next three years on him. Yes, he had potential and youth, however this was a risk I would not take any day.
