lin and out. "the post," end of the lin. new york knicks made it official choosing not to match the houston rockets three-year $25.1 million offer to jeremy lin before 11:59 p.m. last night. the decision came down sometime after 10:00 last night. lin now returns to the houston rockets, team that cut him before the start of last season. the structure of lin's new deal, which will pay him almost $15 million in the final year, would have cost the knicks an estimated $35 million in luxury tax penalties, in addition to lin's salary. had they chosen to match his offer. it was the last year of that deal that was kind of a poison pill designed by the rockets, and it worked. rockets are well below the luxury tax cutoff, and will not be subject to any such additional charges. but was letting lin walk really the right financial decision for the knicks? lin was making $788,000 last year. madison square garden company's value shot up $600 million since lin's start. the departure from the knicks already has cost the company's stock valuat

spec ladles can continue as to whether james dolan let lin walk because he felt lin was being disloyalputting himself on the open market. either way, it's terrible. harvey arrington suggests, was lin banished from the grounds for daring to exploit his leverage for what could be the one time in his basketball career? in contrast to lin awoeps, there is more than a sampling of dolan's, enabling us to make an educated guess as to how cool and calculated he was upon learning that lin and the rockets had conspired to make their deal even more tax punitive for him to match. let's go to baseball now. dodgers and phillies decided they needed some extra innings to get this thing finished. bases loaded, top of the length. hunter pence shoots one through the left side. takes a 3-1 lead. bottom of the tenth, dodgers within a run. kemp grounds one deep in the hole, but kemp beats it out and the tying run scores. nice hustle at the line by kemp who has had some problems. it was a close play. looks like kemp hit the bag just as he hit the bag. i guess he was safe. a walk off. two-run homer for kemp.

so, why would lin leave?5 million big reasons. >> you don't go to harvard university and not get knowledge of big business. why would he leave? at least $25 million. and there may be other reasons. a lot of stars on this knicks team after they got jason kidd, so lin may like the fact that the limelight could be elsewhere and he will have more are of a free-flowing offense in houston a team which needs stars, used to have yao ming, a star from china. this is not over yet. the knicks have until 11:59 tonight to hatch the houston offer. there's a poison pill, the knicks would be responsible for 40, $50 million extra under nba luxury tax and contract rules that they would have to pay more than houston. it may be all too much for a big spending knicks team. >> all right. but come on, you follow basketball. you've got inside scoop. you really think the knicks will let him go to houston? >> it's possible that they will. a lot of sports columnists are calling for it and we talked to one analyst who says he can't beli
