The Knicks will be matching the Rockets' offer to restricted free agent Jeremy Lin, sources confirm to ESPN.com. Lin will sign a backloaded deal with the Rockets worth roughly $30 million on Wednesday. At that point, the Knicks will have three days to make a decision. "They will match any offer on Lin up to 1 billion dollars," a source told ESPN.com. Jason Kidd is expected to mentor Lin in New York.
