Jummah Mubarak! It's a great day. Jeremy Lin granted Early-Bird Rights. I like Novak, but he's gotta learnhow to play defense and box out. Too troublesome to see him leaving his man open in the corner often times.
EDIT: Just checked out theknicksblog website. I saw a tweet that Landry Fields is dating Elaine Alden.

Lin Granted Early-Bird Rights
By HOWARD BECK
Published: June 22, 2012
An arbitrator has granted Jeremy Lin his so-called early-Bird rights, which will give the Knicks much greater latitude in free agency on July 1, according to a person who was informed of the ruling.
The arbitrator, Kenneth Dam, issued his ruling Friday, siding with the National Basketball Players Association, which challenged the N.B.A.’s interpretation of the rules under the collective bargaining agreement. Dam handed the union a complete victory in the ruling.
The ruling means that both Lin and Steve Novak of the Knicks will be able to re-sign with the team without respect to the salary cap, for a starting salary around $5 million each. Just as critically, it means that the Knicks will not need to use their midlevel exception to sign either player, which will allow them to use that slot for another free agent.
The ruling — which applies to any player who was claimed off waivers — also affects Chauncey Billups of the Los Angeles Clippers and J. J. Hickson of the Portland Trail Blazers. Billups and Hickson will now have full Bird rights, allowing them to re-sign with their teams for any amount up to the maximum salary.

Lawl, I haven't been around here lately. I am surprised to hear about it. I know Knicks fans want Nash, but the Knicks really need to go after big guys. Chandler, Amar'e and Jeffries aren't enough. Jorts and Jordan are still developing.

I figured they'd appeal, it's common procedure to do so. Stern was confident it'd go in his favor but since we won the first battle things are still on our side.
