The Knicks struck a deal to reacquire Raymond Felton, the veteran point guard, sparking immediate, furious speculation that the franchise was ready to let Jeremy Lin leave for Houston. The answer, as of midnight, was anything but clear. In a surprise move, the Knicks struck a deal to reacquire Raymond Felton, the veteran point guard, sparking immediate, furious speculation that the franchise was ready to let Lin leave for Houston.

The Knicks made two moves Monday to build their roster, acquiring Marcus Camby in a sign-and-trade deal with the Houston Rockets and agreeing to a four-year deal with Steve Novak.

A person with knowledge of the deal said Thursday that New York Knicks restricted free-agent guard Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets have agreed to terms on a four-year contract offer. The person told The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the team hadn't officially announced the deal. Lin can sign the offer sheet with Houston on July 11, and the Knicks will then have three days to match the offer.

Jason Kidd would also be invaluable as a mentor to Jeremy Lin, the Knicks’ precocious 23-year-old point guard, assuming they can keep him.

A settlement involving so-called Bird rights will allow the Knicks to exceed the N.B.A. salary cap to re-sign Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak.
