Dear Media: Please Stop Asking Me About Jeremy Lin. Thanks, Deron Williams
By Jason McIntyre
"“Why would we get excited about the Knicks? We’re 8-21, I’m worried about us, not what Jeremy Lin’s doing,” he said."
" “What phenomenon?” Williams asked. Finally, after the fifth question about Lin, he cut off the subject. “Ya’ll got anything about tonight? Anything that’s relevant with us?” Nope, Deron – absolutely nothing’s relevant with the Nets. Seven losses in a row, seven games back of the 8th playoff spot … oh, wait, do you plan on staying in New Jersey after this season? Talk to Dwight Howard lately? Do you think the emergence of Lin has squashed any hope of a Melo-for-Deron swap that has been discussed by internet types? "
After reading Williams’ comments, I got an image in my head of “So what, who cares?” [Daily News]
