Jeremy Lin still wants to be a Knick, according to a source with knowledge of the player’s thinking.

“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.”

The Knicks have not decided whether to match Lin’s back-loaded three-year, $25 million offer sheet from Houston.

Matching the offer to Lin could cost the Knicks $43.4 million in luxury tax penalties for the 2014-15 season.
