That contract year could cost the Knicks upwards of $40 million after luxury tax.
Amar'e Stoudemire is a Rookie of the Year, 6 time All-Star, 1 time All NBA 1st Teamer, 4 time All NBA Second Teamer, with 2 MVP type season under his belt...read off Lin's accomplishments please.
LeBron makes 14.5, Wade makes 14...Lin will be getting paid like a HoF champion without proving anything besides his potential marketability and his affinity for TO's.
That means what exactly?
Ama're's potential life earnings is multiple times greater than that of Lin's.
Same reason Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard never to return again. Some people have the type of ability that needn't be constrained by the proving ground of college.
I don't know about the potential life earnings. Lin's potential endorsements could be pretty high especially if Chinese companies get involved.
