Knicks don't match offer for Lin

HOUSTON (AP) — The New York Knicks decided that Linsanity would have only a one-season run on Broadway.
Lin is headed back to Houston after the Knicks decided on Tuesday that they wouldn’t match the Rockets’ three-year, $25 million offer for the restricted free agent.
The 23-year-old point guard, who went undrafted out of Harvard, became an international phenomenon and the biggest story in sports during one dazzling month in the Big Apple. But the Knicks decided keeping the show in town was too costly.
“Extremely excited and honored to be a Houston Rocket again!!” Lin posted on his Twitter account.
“Much love and thankfulness to the Knicks and New York for your support the past year...easily the best year of my life.”
Lin will return to Houston, where he spent two weeks in training camp in December, before the Rockets waived him. General manager Daryl Morey later regretted the move and alluded to the mistake as he celebrated the re-acquisition of Lin on Twitter late Tuesday:
“Welcome to Houston (at)JLin7. We plan to hang on this time. You will love (hash)RedNation.”
