Knicks weren’t interested in bringing Jeremy Lin back to New York

Three years after Linsanity left New York and subsequently fizzled in the Western Conference, Jeremy Lin’s agent reached out to the Knicks to gauge their interest in a reunion. The answer, according to Lin, was a conclusive no.

“There was no conversation other than them telling me they weren’t interested,” the Hornets point guard told the Daily News before sitting out Saturday’s 97-93 preseason victory over the Knicks with an illness.

Lin, a free agent over the summer, instead inked a two-year, $4.3 million contract with Charlotte. It was a hefty pay cut from the $25 million deal he signed with Houston back in 2012, which the Knicks controversially decided against matching.
