Jeremy Lin: I was crushed when the Knicks didn't match the Rockets' offer

Jeremy Lin: I was crushed when the Knicks didn't match and I still remember that very vividly cuz in my mind. I'm like, everything leading up to it is a three-day period, but everything even before the three-day period, I was like, there's no way they match. There's no way they match. And that three-day period felt like three months, Pablo. It was like the longest three days of my life. And my agent is just telling me like, "Be prepared that they won't match." And I'm like, "There's no way. There's no way. I got to go back to New York." But I wasn't able to when everything started. They could have offered me three years, nine millions, but there wasn't even that offer on the table. And when the Rockets offer came in, the first question I asked my agent is, "Are the Knicks going to match this?" He's like, "I don't know." And I was like, "Can you go back to the Rockets and tell them we won't accept this offer? We only want a lower offer." I tried to take less. I was like I was trying to sabotage the Rockets offer. I don't like this poison pill. Like, bring it down.
