The Rockets offered Jeremy Lin a four-year deal potentially worth $31 million, which includes the so-called "poison pill" (larger dollar amounts) in the third and fourth years that would create a luxury-tax hit for the Knicks. After losing out on Steve Nash the Knicks are expected to match any offer sheet Lin signs, so he's weighing his options carefully. He's mulling this offer over, but could be waiting for a better one to come along in order to secure his future. But regardless of what happens next, it's hard to envision Lin playing for a team other than the Knicks this season.
