Houston has agreed to terms with Jeremy Lin on an offer sheet. 4 yr $30M

[D-Rose]

"A league source said Jeremy Lin will be offered a contract today — maybe in the [four-year] $30 million range — in a back-loaded nature similar to the one the Rockets offered Bulls big man Omir Asik." (via CBSSports.com)

The source said the Rockets will offer Lin $5 million, $5.2 million and then plan to jack up the third and fourth years to as much as $10 million.

So, Dragic would be out?

[Foster5k]

So much for living on a couch.

Obviously, Lin is over-rated, but we'll have to see how he handles a full NBA season.

[WhySoInsecure?]

If it's 30mil I'm confident the knicks will match

[Pra]

Oh wow, not sure on the source so much, but Dragic might be leaning to PHX. Plus Eric Gordon has a possibility of heading there too!

Inb4 Dragic to NO though.

He's a UFA, correct? I wonder if his preference is NY if the money was equal everywhere...

[Chrono90]

If Knicks lets Lin go, that just shows you how players should all just say screw loyalty and worry about money. Lin was the reason why knicks weren't the laughing stock of the NBA last season. Knicks should give the kid a chance like a full season as a starter and see what he can do.

what makes you say that.

alan hahn has reported the knicks will match any lin offer

[Godzuki]

lin should be careful. if he leaves the Knicks his whole situation and play could change.

[bagelred]

It seems this situation happens all the time. It's like teams purposely try to screw the Knicks instead of making rational decisions for their own teams.

First Landry Fields, now Jeremy Lin.....last year too there was a weird situation that almost screwed the Knicks.........can't remember.

Mike D'Antoni left already.

He'll have $30 million in his pocket. He'll somehow manage.

I thought NYK were limited to what they could offer.

Thought the most was 4yrs $24mil. Why else would Houston backload the deal in order to prevent NYK from matching.

We are allowed to match any offer but our initial offer cannot be that much. Yes, it is stupid.

[Kujo]

Dragic is better than Lin, but I get why Houston doesn't want to pay Dragic 10 mil a year.
