NBA / Nick formally signed Felton, Jeremy Lin is possible to stay with the Knicks

Nick formal move today's press conference, get the Trail Blazers point guard Raymond Felton, announced through a sign-and at the same time made no mention of whether to follow up the Rockets offer, leaving the restricted free agent Jeremy Lin regarding the outside world that Nick is intended to drag Taipei on the 18th at 11:59 pm am to follow up before the offer period will stand, even if you want to let go of Jeremy Lin, and let the rocket suffering to the last minute.

It is understood that, Nick is currently the biggest concerns is Jeremy Lin 3-year $ 25 million contract last year, that year, Jeremy Lin's annual salary up to $ 14.8 million, when Nick array in just Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler 3 people The contract is worth up to $ 62 million, when coupled with the gross salary of Jeremy Lin's 14.8 million people, let Nick is far more than about 70 million luxury tax threshold.

After calculation, if Nick to follow up the offer of Jeremy Lin, then they will be in the 2014-15 season because of the contract obtained spend about $ 43 million in real terms in spending, this astronomical figure Nick had to carefully consider LinShuHao their real value.

Although Nick has 10 million cost-effective price tag and Felton signed a contract, and all the messages point to Nick and Jeremy Lin will not renew their contracts, but things have not the dust settles before any connecting flights are likely to occur.

Another view of the matter is we would spread that although Nick renewal Jeremy Lin will result in the 2014-15 season salary burst table, But when Anthony, Stoudemire, and Chandler, and even the contract of Jason Kidd and Felton are about to expire, even if the signs is wrong, and Nick also have the opportunity to get rid of the expired contract, savings through the transaction.

In addition to the team salary considerations, Felton to have much real contribution is also doubtful, although no doubt he is qualified in the NBA starting point guard, also in the 2010-11 season, Nick handed over 17 excellent data points and nine assists, but do not forget he was playing in Mike D'Antoni men and pioneer unsatisfactory, he can play in Nick of results, it did not say the quasi-

Is always a word, Nick signed Felton never go wrong, but they also know that Felton and Kidd's backcourt at most, is to rise above all the potential of Jeremy Lin your people scalp tingling, there are opportunities to help They will soar, the dilemma of choice for Nick pellets dilemma.

Nick the final decision will be said to have been totally boss James Dolan's decision of a person, and although the Nick basketball Affairs team agreed that Jeremy Lin is not worth this price, but it always starts acting strangely the Dolan decided to independent row against the majority, throwing money leaving Jeremy Lin seems to have not been too unexpected. In any case, things turn out this way, and moral, all makes good business sense, Jeremy Lin, a very smart business decision, the next step is to look at Nick how to deal with this investment.
