Jeremy Lin reveals he tried to reject the Rockets' $29,000,000 offer and would have taken significantly less to stay with the Knicks
“I was crushed and my agent is telling me, ‘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’”
“They could have offered me three years, $9 million, 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?’”
“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 trying to sabotage the Rockets offer.”
“I remember it vividly. I call my agent back and I'm like, ‘Okay, the offer came through. No, we have to get a less lucrative offer because I got to go back to New York’”
“Finally I'm like, ‘Can we just not accept their offer?’ And he's like, ‘No, we can't not accept their offer because the Knicks refuse to give us any offer. You have zero offers on the table. You have one offer and you have to accept it and leave it to the Knicks to match or not’”
“It was kind of difficult to see that people thought I willingly left the Knicks or did it for the money or whatever. I would have played for significantly less if that meant staying with the Knicks because my heart was always here”

@fia Still until the last minute you choose to believe what you did was up for interpretation and not manipulation. Disgraceful, learn to own up to your faults and mistakes. #standwithlewis@F1@LewisHamilton@MercedesAMGF1
Christian Horner acting like he won the race on merit, Max was brilliant all season, but you didn't win the final race. You were given the win, just say it as it is, you and Helmut are toxic to the sport.

@fia So embarrassing you try and uphold “the rules” in the highest regard but you choose to change it when the outcome was not what you desired. Sad to hear stuff like this still goes on in the highest level of motor sports. Was a good race but terrible officiating. #AbuDhabiGP
@F1 Really disgusting how the safety rules are skewed to favour one driver over the other. You would think there wouldn’t be this type of racism at this level of competition I guessed wrong. I stand by @LewisHamilton
@AllstateCanada I find it ridiculous how I can be on hold for 1 hour for the 3rd time this week to try and update my policy so I can log onto your website to pay my bill but no one picks-up. However, I call your payment department and it instantly goes through.

Check out those blocks doe.
A children's book explanation of what's happening:
1. If you are "smart money" you are allowed to take your $1 and leverage it up to $15+
2. You can now buy $15 of stock AND if you promise to short companies, you can short $15 of stock as well
@RobinhoodApp Shameful, must be in bed with the hedge funds. What happened to free market? Shouldn't be able to restrict Buy's just because you disagree with what's happening in the market. #RobinhoodLies
