In other words: Lin it's nothing personal, it's just business.

"The truth hurts".

Don't really care, it is classless/messed up, but unfortunately its business.

Although Melo/Harden/Howard in one team to me is a contender, but its a dark horse.

I think all 3 of them just lack the competitive fire that it requires to win a championship.

Which is why they need Jeremy Lin.

I can justify any action, doesn't make it right. I'm not saying don't do it, it's a semi-free country... I would have gone in a different direction though. Just cold for no reason. As if Melo wouldn't sign with you if you went with another #.

I actually think that using another number would cause significant harm to their recruiting efforts.  That may be taken partly as a judgment about the character of Carmelo Anthony.
