LAS VEGAS — Linsanity got his money, but it looks like it won’t be from the Knicks.
In a stunning turn of events in the past 24 hours, the Knicks agreed to a sign-and-trade with the Trail Blazers to obtain former Knicks point guard Raymond Felton that all but ends the Jeremy Lin era prematurely and bitterly, according to league sources.
Linsanity was fun while it lasted.
One NBA source insisted the Knicks, with Felton’s addition, will not match Lin’s new, ramped-up $25 millionoffer sheet from the Rockets. The Knicks will have three days to reconsider amid a potential backlash.
In the trade, the Knicks got even older, adding another former Knick, Kurt Thomas, 39. Knicks free agent Jared Jeffries was signed in the deal and shipped to Portland in the package, along with Dan Gadzuric’s non-guaranteed $1.4 million contract.
The Post reported on its back page Saturday the Knicks were furious the Rockets changed the offer sheet for Lin and upgraded it to a $25 million guarantee over three years, according to a source. The Knicks were bitter because they told Lin immediately the club would match the original offer and Lin apparently shared the information with the Rockets. Lin and Houston then plotted to redo it.
Lin secretly flew into Las Vegas without informing the Knicks to renegotiate the contract and sign it.
The Knicks had been set to match Lin’s original offer sheet of four years, $28.9 million that had a $19 million guarantee before the Rockets threw a financial curveball that called for a $15 million third year that would have doomed owner James Dolan’s luxury-tax predicament.
So this likely ended the Knicks’ endless blabber across the past two months, swearing they would bring Lin back and that he was a “big part” of “what we’re trying to do,’’ as coach Mike Woodson put it three days ago.
The Knicks also would lose out on continuing to promote a global marketing sensation.
Lin also may be a young point guard with an All-Star future, but apparently Knicks officials didn’t think so. There was concern Lin’s success was a function of former coach Mike D’Antoni’s up-tempo offense and would not be as effective in Woodson’s isolation sets. Plus, Woodson does not like playing young players and Lin was coming off knee surgery that cut short his historic 26-game surge.
The Knicks had brought in Jason Kidd to be Lin’s mentor and Spanish League veteran Pablo Prigioni as another backup at the point. The 24-year-old undrafted Harvard point guard apparently had not earned the Knicks’ full confidence he was ready for a full-time starting role next season.

Jay-Z and his former Roc-A-Fella record label partners are facing a new lawsuit by a clothing designer who claims he created the famous Roc-A-Fella logo.
Dwayne Walker filed a copyright infringement suit on Thursday in Manhattan Federal Court according to the New York Daily News.
“The logo has become universally recognized as an iconic symbol of Jay-Z, one of the most successful recording artists in the history of popular music,” the suit says.
Walker claims he came up with the logo design in 1995 when Roc-A-Fella was just starting out. The lawsuit states that he saw what saw what label co-founder Damon Dash had in mind for the logo and said he could do better.
The label is now a subsidiary of Universal Music Group and Jay-Z’s publicist has made no comment on the suit.
Walker is seeking $7 million in unpaid royalties.

After having a rough time over the last couple of weeks there is a new report online that Rihanna is ready to let her hair down and rekindle her romance with Drake.
Britain's Sun newspaper is reporting that the singer has plopped down $155,000 to book a yacht that will take her and Drake on a week long cruise on the French Riviera.
“Rihanna is determined to live life to the full following her grandma’s death and decided to give it another go with Drake," a source tells The Sun. “In the past he’d moan that she wouldn’t commit and was working all the time. But she’s up for trying again."
The pair dated briefly in 2009 and have even collaborated on music. Recording "What's My Name?" off of Rihanna's 2010 'Loud' album and most recently "Take Care," off Drake's album of the same name.
According to the report, Rihanna is going all out for this upcoming rendezvous.
“They’re meeting up on a plush yacht in Cannes next week and will then spend a week cruising around the Med," the source continued. “Rihanna wants to travel down through Italy and go to the most romantic places she’s seen online. It’s just what she needs after an incredibly tough few months — however, they also know how to party. They’ll be joined on the yacht by a few friends, who plan to sink a lot of champagne on the trip.”

Young Buck was sentenced to three years in prison on Friday after he pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition according to MSNBC.
When the IRS raided his home two years ago for unpaid taxes they found the weapons and ammunition, a serious federal crime because Buck had been convicted of stabbing a man at the 2004 Vibe awards
Buck, whose real name is Darnell Brown, caught a break when the judge sentenced the rapper to serve his two counts concurrently. So instead of serving three full years, he will spend a total of 18 months in prison.
"With the judge not really considering my criminal history to subtract some time, I'm just thankful for what time I do have," Buck told WSMV.
Buck will have to report to prison on August 13th. In the meantime he will have to wear an ankle monitor and be tested for drugs. If he tests positive he will be sent directly to jail.
After he gets out of prison, he'll be on supervised release for three years.

The dispute between Mac Miller and Lord Finesse over Finesse's lawsuit against the Pittsburgh rapper doesn't appear to be dying down anytime soon. As we previously reported, Finesse filed a $10 million lawsuit against Miller, Datpiff and Rostrum Records after Miller sampled his song "Hip 2 Da Game" for his record "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza."
Rostrum Records has just released a statement regarding the lawsuit defending Miller. Check that out below.
There have been a lot of misstatements online and in the press, so we thought it'd be best to make some brief comments. First and foremost, we stand by Mac Miller in this situation and we will fight the case together with him. Mac never pretended that the "Hip 2 Da Game" beat was his, despite what's being said in the suit. Lord Finesse was given credit on both the video and the mixtape from the very beginning. We've never distributed "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza" for sale on iTunes and have consistently policed digital retailers and other sites to make sure that no pirates were ever illegally selling the song. Lord Finesse has known about "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza" for a long time and never objected to the use. For some reason, he has very recently changed his mind. We look forward to resolving this issue soon, and we appreciate all of the support that we have been receiving from the entire music community. Thank you, Rostrum Records.
