Yes, that's exactly what happened. Knicks had every intention to match the original offer and voiced that to Lin's people. Yes, he had the right to, but no RFA in memory has done that.
I wanted Lin back mainly as a trade chip to get Chris Paul, and am upset that he's gone. But I do understand the Knicks thinking and I can't kill them for it.
The Knicks only have a 2 year window (not 3) before they blow up the roster. Felton, in shape, can help them immediately along with Kidd.
