Someone is gonna make a skit about Lin tomorrow on SNL, and it probably won't be funny at all.

Just what the Knicks need, more shooters!

Pretty much this. 3 guys now who just like to chuck it up and hope it goes in.

He'll hurt the knicks more than anything.

I think you're underestimating what good scorers guys like J.R. and Melo are though.

Yeah they need to gel and get some chemistry and play like a team but on paper these guys are one of the most talented starting 5's in the NBA.

on paper.

Melo hasn't been the same player he was in Denever. Lin is a turnover machine, it's just being overlooked because the team is winning. And it's fairly obvious A'mare isn't as dominant as he was before Melo got to NY.

J.R. Smith can either shoot your team into a game, or shoot them out.

He reminds me a lot of Ben Gordon, but I haven't seen a ton of J.R. smith play.

They don't need another scorer/someone that needs the ball.

They actually do need another perimeter threat...and it never hurts to have another guy who can take over a game.

Hey I'm a J.R. fan admittedly, I wanted him on the Bulls. I'm aware o his flaws but I'm also a fan of his talents.

And as I say this, Linsanity is about to come to an end as the Knicks fall to the bloody Hornets of all teams...

And Jeremy Lin with an amazing NINE turnovers
