And it's a good reason
I said all the time, I would've been fine with keeping Lin, but I get it because the Knicks would not have any flexibility and the owner wanted to avoid the tax. It's the same reason why OKC couldn't pay Harden

It's crazy to me that people all of a sudden want to bash teams for being fiscally responsible. It's like cats are saying, pay the tax, it's not your money...when a few years ago, cats were screaming they're gonna pay the tax, they're stupid.
