Carmelo Anthony and Jeremy Lin revisit the 2012 Knicks drama — Melo clarifies he never thought Lin’s contract was “ridiculous,” but was furious about the “poison pill” clause that inflated his final year’s salary by nearly 400%. Lin reveals he’d stayed if offered a fair deal, but the Knicks never acted — forcing him to take Houston’s offer, which he initially rejected. After bouncing between teams, Lin reflects on the missed opportunity, while Melo, the next year, led the Knicks to a 54-win season and the top seed in the East — a stark contrast to the fallout that followed.
