No way the New York Knicks were letting Lin get away back then, when he was the biggest thing in basketball. Things are different now.
This is what you'd call irony. Knicks fans, at least the majority of them, want James Dolan to step in, overrule his basketball people and bring Jeremy Lin back to the Garden.
Well, Linsanity was fun while it lasted.
Some Knicks fans aren't ready for the end of Linsanity.
Jason Kidd mentoring Jeremy Lin was a nice story last week. Then Kidd was arrested on a drunken-driving charge, and Lin's departure from New York for a "ridiculous contract" in Houston became more realistic.
With one move this weekend, the New York Knicks took a step toward the modern NBA game and at the same time alienated a large segment of their fan base who yearn for old-school basketball.
New York Daily News Knicks reporter Frank Isola joined the program.
If Carmelo Anthony somehow manages to lead the New York Knicks to an NBA championship this season, Boomer Esiason will walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in Knicks' boxer shorts.

Jason Kidd was arrested in Southampton for DWI. The police report says Kidd struck a telephone pole and then drove into the woods around 2 a.m.
Raymond Felton is returning to New York, calling into question whether the Knicks plan to re-sign fellow point guard Jeremy Lin.
Lin, at this point in his career, is a nice player. He can handle the ball decently and he can score fairly well while leading his team's offense. But that's it. He's not a great ball player by any stretch.
The Houston Rockets had Jeremy Lin in training camp last December. Now they want him back. Lin has signed an offer sheet with Houston.

After an article in the Daily News yesterday, a lot of Jeremy Lin talk has dominated the Knicks' scene. Lin, nothing short of a phenomenon last year, is starting to see the dark side of being the man in the spotlight in New York.
