Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak will have their "Bird rights" hearing on June 13, a source tells Newsday.
The hearing actually impacts both Chauncey Billups and J.J. Hickson as well. Winning the appeal would mean the teams of the four players could re-sign each one without having to worry about salary cap constraints, and that would be a huge win for New York. Regardless of the outcome, the Knicks plan to match all offers for Lin, whose salary is capped under the "Arenas Provision" in the new CBA.
