What would have happened had we NOT signed Jeremy Lin?

lottery team

 

We probably would have Dragic. Just maybe.

 

We'd one about 5-10 more games. Lin's play at the start of the season cost us big.

 

Starting pg Aaron brooks

 

More like 5-10 games less....Harden's slippage and Parson's injuries at the end would have meant another lottery year.

 

3,000 fewer members, 58,000 fewer posts, and probably the same record.

 

The ****? Yea he had a tough first month but vastly improved from then on. He costed some games but also won us some games and played solid in more games than he didn't. You really think Tony Douglas or Bev could've done better or even the same?

This team would probably be barely .500 or maybe a little below .500 and probably be 10th in the West without Jeremy. But luckily our team is still extremely young. They will all have a full training camp together and I expect all to improve greatly. Even if we dont sign a superstar I see this team being at least 7th next year

 

I don't know who we would have played at PG those first two months or however long it was before Beverley was signed.

All I know we would be able to sign Mayo as our 6th man on top of Harden/Dwight starting this off season if it weren't for Lin's contract.

 

why stop at back to the future. why not sky rimmed or coach go back in time and prevent lin from ever being born. Linminator L-1000

 

Lin contributed to far more Rox wins than losses. He was never allowed to be on the floor that long if he was missing shots, making TO's, or not defending.

Look at the 82 game log and look at the team wins/losses and his minutes in those games.

 

I've wished as this season went forward that Harden would have gotten traded here sooner in off season. Then Rox would have tried harder to sign Dragic back. If Rox couldn't sign Dragic the Rox would have looked for PG who better complimented Harden. The Lin signing I feel was about marketability more than anything. Lin has some upside but I never liked him over Dragic or Lowery and still don't. I feel it was all about timing really.

 

Another Lin thread who would've thought. I hope we trade Lin and he goes off for his new team just so I can see this board blow up.

 

Good point about the timing. I definitely feel Dragic would have fit better. Lowry though, he checked out here mentally a while ago.

 

I agree that Rox were not going to bring back Lowry, but Dragic would have been such a good fit. Oh well...

 

Come on guys, give Lin a break. First full year as a starter, he's done pretty well! I'm sure he'll work on the TO's and the jump shot this offseason, and will be ready to go next season. If Chandler can improve that much over one offseason, why can't Lin?

 

EXACTLY thank you , some people are just too ignorant and impatient to at least give that a thought.

 

9th seed.

 

We are nowhere near playoff without Jeremy - Morey.(recent interview)

 

Do people really think 13/3/6 stats are a fail and a disappointment for a guy's second legit season and first season as a starter?

I think he's done fine, obviously not the all-star caliber player he'd shown last year, but hes played solid especially down the stretch and just because of a few bad games at a bad time (the playoffs) people should not judge base on those over the entire 82 games that he'd played for us.
