With a different structure.

Hes getting paid similar to guys like teague who hes in the same range at.

What would you have said is a fair price for Lin after that run? 5 mil?

Knicks were ready to pay between 7-8 per for 3 years.
Hes getting paid 8 per year Just with a balloon structure.

You could argue his 5m per year for the 1st 2 years is a bargain.
