They wanted to rebuild, but also wanted to make it interesting,

while collecting "assets". Lowry wasn't happy, and his ceiling is there to see. Dragic, they didn't want to commit for too long for an average to slightly above average PG. 

Clearing cap room gives you flexibility for big shots, but you can't just have 1M contracts, and your franchise rights will be removed. Lin showed he has potential and he can put people in seat. Rockets had experience with Yao. I don't the fuss about Rockets signing Lin.

What exactly are we complaining here? 25 million bucks is bad for Lin? or It stopped Knicks to play low ball on Lin?
