Melo is right but Lin wouldn't be first ridiculous NBA contract.

Taken out of context. The way he said it can be positive.

Melo was right and I totally agree but...

quote:

This. From the Knicks. In unrelated news, Anthony has $67 million left over three years on his contract. The Knicks have yet to advance past the first round.


HAHAHAHAHAHA

Now that was funny!

Not a smart comment by Melo. Alienates teammates. And like the article said this is coming from someone set to make 67 mill over the next 3 years and his team has yet to make it past the first round.

Let's look at the exact statement that is quoted in the article:

quote:

At comments from Team USA practice Sunday morning, Anthony told reporters a throw-away comment. From Sporting News (a lot of reporters snagged the quote):

Anthony said Saturday that he wanted Lin to remain his teammate. But he followed that up with this remark on Sunday: “It’s up to the organization to say that they want to match that ridiculous contract.”


Perhaps he was saying that he didn't feel that 15-20 games was enough to merit the contract.

The Rockets seem desperate. It is ridiculous, but Lin will bring excitement to Houston initially.

The rockets are smart to get Lin IMO, he will make them alot of money in the chinese market even if he comes of the bench.

There’s a real question now whether the Knicks will match the Jeremy Lin offer sheet from Houston, a three-year, $25 million offer.


Am I missing something? 3 yrs / 25 mill is ridiculous, but 3 yrs / 67 mill is just fine?

The real question is ( and I will get bashed for this ) would he have said this if Lin was black? I say no.
