Jeremy "Linsanity" Lin Joins Houston Rockets; Betrayed New York Knicks?
Jeremy Lin is officially a Houston Rocket. Now, we find out whether "Linsanity" can survive Texas heat.
The
Knicks confirmed on Tuesday that they would not match the three-year,
$25.1 million offer sheet Lin signed with the Houston Rockets on Friday.
The club declined to comment on the stunning development while Lin took
to Twitter to say, "Extremely excited and honored to be a Houston
Rocket again."
The decision was both financial and emotional
since Garden Chairman James Dolan was upset over Lin's decision to
restructure his deal with Houston last week to include a third year
salary of $14.9 million. Dolan, according to sources, felt he was
deceived by the 23-year-old Lin.
"Much love and thankfulness
to the Knicks and New York for your support this past year," Lin said on
Twitter. "Easily the best year of my life. #ForeverGratful."
Of course, team officials privately felt that Lin's actions over the
past few weeks were anything but grateful. They were upset that Lin
hired a publicist without their consent and were livid that the second
year point guard out of Harvard went back to the Rockets for more money.
As recently as last week, all signs pointed to Lin returning with head coach Mike Woodson even saying that Lin would be his starting point guard and that newly acquired Jason Kidd would serve as the back-up.
