Turns out the Warriors, specifically owner Joe Lacob, made a devastating franchise decision to release Jeremy Lin at the start of training camp.
This has to be especially painful for Lacob, seeing as how HE was the one who believed in Lin from the start. The Knicks are reaping the benefits of the Warriors faith in the the former Harvard guard.
Now I for one, dont feel that Lin would have become #Linsanity fighting for minutes behind Ellis and Curry, lobbing alley-oops to David Lee instead of Tyson Chandler.
Yet, it must be painful for the headline-starved Warriors ownership to watch Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks become the toast of the NBA. Especially considering the reason they cut Jeremy Lin was to open up salary cap for a high priced free agent center. Which they didn't get.
