"Think of all the things that had to occur for JEREMY LIN to happen (and we'll only go with things that happened THIS season to keep it short and sweet): the Knicks had to amnesty Chauncey Billups to free up the money to sign Tyson Chandler, thus leaving Toney Douglas as the only nominal point guard on the roster; the Warriors had to foolishly cut Lin to create extra salary cap space to sign DeAndre Jordan to an offer sheet that the Clippers were always going to match;"

"the Chris Paul to the Lakers trade had to be vetoed by David Stern so the rockets didn't get Pau Gasol: the Rockets then had to cut Lin to create room to sign Samuel Dalembert to fill the void on their front line; Baron Davis had to get amnestied by the Cavaliers because of a back injury and proceed to sign with the Knicks with the understanding that he wouldn't be back until at least half way through the season; Iman Shumpert had to get hurt in his first game as a Knick;"

"Toney Douglas had to struggle so badly as a starting point guard that the Knicks decided to place a waiver claim on Lin purely as a flier; Mike Bibby had to be even worse than last year; and Carmelo and Amar'e had to be missing games at the exact same time that the Knicks had to spiraled into a funk so deep that D'Antoni was in danger of losing his job and had run out of options and it came down to the choice of giving Jeremy Lin a shot against the New Jersey Nets or losing again and getting fired."
