Why is everybody trying so hard to save Jimmy D a buck?!

Dolan gave Eddy Curry $60 million (which I believe he invested entirely in Egg McMuffins) and Jerome James $30 million, for which he played a couple of dozens of games over four or five years (when he could muster the energy to drag his fat ass off the bench). This isn't about Dolan's wallet. It's about his cluelessness.

I do have to say that the fact that MSG's stock price moves up or down is can not be said to be directly related to the performance of a certain player.

It can as it relates to increased TV ratings as it did when Linball started.

Not necessarily. There can be hundreds of reasons as to why a stock price moves.

Nate Silver compared Cablevision's stock price to the performance of the market as a whole.

It underperformed, and there was no other news that should have moved the stock price.

Google the stock chart for MSG and time line from when Linball started
as it correlates to the MSG stock price.

I didn't see that -- it wasn't on his blog.

Seems pretty clear from Pablo Torre's story (he talked to Lin) that the Knicks totally forked this up, and if they had not told him he should test the market, they could have had him at a cheaper rate. Houston is the only team that even put an offer in front of him. At any point.

Agreed. I think this started with the Knicks really wanting Steve Nash and if they got him they would not have signed Lin or at least low balled him.

He and his agent were smart to keep their leverage while they had it.

Cablevision spun off MSG as it's own stock. When Pre Lin MSG stock price was around 28. When Linball came about stock jumped to 35.
