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.
