re: Carmelo Anthony calls Jeremy Lin's contract "ridiculous" (J.R. Smith chimes in)

I don't think there is anything ridiculous about the contract. If the Knicks didn't overspend on every player they would have the ability to hold onto potential superstars. At the max, Lin will make 9.2 million his 3rd year, with the cap hit at 14.9. That same year Anthony will be making 23.5 million. Is Carmello worth 8+ more than Lin? Maybe, but Lin's impact goes well beyond the court.. LINK / ..
