LAS VEGAS — Though he sure didn’t act like it, Jeremy Lin still wants to be a Knick.
A Lin confidant, contacted yesterday, was asked whether Lin wanted the Knicks to match the Rockets’ revised $25 million offer sheet.
“Yes, he does,’’ the person said.
Lin’s high school coach made it sound that way, too.
“He did not see this happening,” Peter Diepenbrock, Lin’s coach at Palo Alto (Calif.) High School, told Yahoo! Sports. “He sounded surprised. He loves the New York fans. To have the experience that he had for the two months and for that to be over with, that’s quite a shock to the system. I think he really believed the Knicks would match whatever offer he got.”
