Nash to Lakers (made too much sense)

Kidd to resign with Mavericks.

Rockets to offer Lin backloaded deal...

Things haven't gone great for the Knicks so far in FA... So answer this -- should the Knicks match a backloaded offer for Jeremy Lin? Apparently the Rockets are on the verge of offering a 4 year 30 million dollar deal that starts at roughly 5 mil a year the first two years but ends at 10 million a year the last two.

I'd be extremely hesitant to commit that much money in such crucial cap years to a guy like Lin... But I'm worried the Knicks front office will be desperate and will make the move so as not to crap out completely in FA...

What do people think?
