Carmelo and Jeremy Clear the Air
Description
Carmelo Anthony and Jeremy Lin finally settle the old Knicks drama on “7PM in Brooklyn,” revealing the real tension behind Lin’s 2012 Houston move — not the contract itself, but the “poison pill” clause that spiked his salary and leaked into the media. Lin explains he’d stayed if offered a fair deal, but the Knicks gave him nothing, forcing him to take Houston’s offer under pressure. Carmelo admits he never thought the contract was “ridiculous,” but the backlash hurt because of the leaked private conversations. Meanwhile, Lin’s breakout season — especially when Carmelo was sidelined — fueled the friction, and Carmelo later led the Knicks to their best record in years. It’s a raw, revealing look at what really went down behind the scenes.
