Jeremy Lin signs $25.1M offer sheet with Rockets

LAS VEGAS -- Jeremy Lin became a big winner in Vegas Friday. He cashed in on
his breakout season with the Knicks and signed a three-year, $25.1-million
offer sheet with the Rockets, a league source said.

林書豪成為本日拉斯維加斯的大贏家。聯盟消息人士指出，他與火箭隊簽下一份總
值2510萬的合約。

The Knicks have three days to match the offer and to this point they have
said they would. But if they blink, it's because terms of the originally
reported agreement changed.

尼克隊有三天的時間去跟進這份他們原本說「一定會跟下去」的合約。不過如果
尼克隊反悔了，這只能說是因為合約內容變了。

The Rockets heavily backloaded the third year of the deal to make it more
difficult for the Knicks to match the contract.

火箭隊大大的將第三年的薪資加碼，讓尼克隊很難去跟進。

Lin, who flew here to sign the deal, will get $5 million in the first year,
$5.2 in year two and it balloons to about $14.9 million in the final year of
the contract, the source said. The Rockets and Lin originally agreed on a
four-year deal with the final two years being worth $9.3 million each. The
fourth year was a team option.



Houston's hope is to secure Lin, and if they have a good young point guard in
place it could entice Dwight Howard to stay if the Rockets can acquire him.
But it's risky for Houston because Howard probably would want to play with a
more experienced point guard.



Either way, the price is high for Lin, an undrafted point guard whose 25
career starts came last year. If the Knicks match the offer they will have
more than $75 million committed to Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tyson
Chandler and Lin for the 2014-15 season.



Lin means so much to the Knicks off the court and is still proving his worth
on it. He averaged 18.2 points and 7.7 assists as a starter last season. But
he was unavailable down the stretch and in the playoffs after opting for knee
surgery.



The Knicks signed veteran floor leader Jason Kidd to help mentor Lin, hoping
he develops into a top point guard.

尼克隊已經簽下老兵Jason Kidd來指導林書豪，希望他能夠成為頂尖的控球後衛。

Earlier this week, coach Mike Woodson said the Knicks "absolutely" would
match Houston's offer for Lin. General manager Glen Grunwald used the word
"likely." Before summer-league practice Friday -- and before Lin signed the
offer sheet -- Woodson was asked whether the Knicks would wait the full three
days to match.



當記者詢問武僧教練說尼克是否會等足三天再決定是否要跟進，武僧表示：

"Oh, I don't know," Woodson said. "Until we get it in hand and Glen and them
are able to evaluate everything, we'll make a decision then."

「哇阿哉」～～

「我想這要等到我們拿到合約的內容，並且Glen大大研擬過所有的狀況，我們才
會決定吧」。

之前講好的 "will match any offer on Lin up to $1 billion" 呢？
