Sixers, Rockets engaged in "fluid trade talks" about Jeremy Lin?

Because of his contract, we have to pay somebody else to take him. It doesn't make sense to do if we aren't doing anything else with the cap space.

 

Because he is going to have to give up assets to get someone to take Lin, which he would rather not do until he has a deal in place.

 

Morey better decide what to do with Lin. There are rumors that Jackson try to dump contract and he is talking with the Sixers. Not sure if it is correct but from what I read if the Sixers take on the contract of Amare, they could not take on the contract of Lin .

 

What in the world could the Knicks give that would make the Sixers take on Amare's contract? If Lin requires a first rounder to move, what would Amare require? The Knicks have nothing worth that.

 

I just don't understand why you would completely disregard what he says based on who he supports when he's actually quite informative. I've read his posts on other subjects and he makes sound points, but when he's discussing Lin he turns into some blight on the board?

he certainly contributes more than those who bait LOFs and trash the other coaches/bev/harden/etc.

I don't disregard or act in a supercilious manner when my friends who go for the spurs/heat/bulls make a comment on the rockets. you should actually listen to the content of what he puts forward, if he says "Lin#1 why u no ballhandler over harden fk haren fk mcfail" then you've got a point, but you're barking up the wrong tree with torocan.

 

I understand that, but the Rockets will still need to acquire talent who may be useful for us down the line, or in a trade instead of standing pat. Melo, Lebron and Bosh aren't likely to come here.

 

Now now Panda23, we all know most of the people on clutchfans are not "sticking needle in the jl voodoo doll. Most clutchfans such as yourself wish Lin the best and hope he suceeds wherever he goes and tears it up in the league, except for when he plays against the Rockets. Am I right?

 

Having to include a number one pick for someone to take a player off your hands after two years of mediocre play is terrible. No, it's not okay.

Why don't you saunter back over to the Knicks boards or Linsanity.com or something. Before you leave though, cherry pick us some more Lin stats to prop him up... maybe there is a GM with a little cap space reading the board.

Incidentally, if there are any LOF voodoo dolls for sale please hook a brother up.

 

You were expecting us to have Lin for his two cheap years then be able to get great value for him when he has one year 15 million remaining? How much did you expect from him?

Especially in a league where almost half of the top total 50 players in the league are point guards, did you really feel teams will be all up in arms for an average point guard owed 15 million after his current team got him for his two cheaper years?

If we are able to flip him while also giving up a first, it's still a great deal for us considering we got him at a bargain price for two years (Asik too) and we essentially let those two go before their final year balloon payment for a superstar. It's absolute genius by Morey if he can pull this off

 

im not even having a go at King1 he thinks Lin is a mediocre player which he is, but you can be damn sure there are people that want Lin to fail to spite LOFs, I've gotten quite a bit of hate-rep simply because I think you should judge lin on soley his basketball abilities (or lackthereof) and not how many JLFAN5EVA fans pissed me off today

 

Lol, you're so predictable. If you don't care what he says, why do you keep responding to his posts? Just so you can keep telling you him you don't care or do you like calling him a LOF/Knicks fan?

Why don't you just put him on ignore? He obviously don't give a crap about what you think about him. It'll save you time and probably reduce your stress level a lot.

 

Maybe we can trade lin to Brazil for neymar

 

Why would they do that? Defense is already a problem

 

I think we should just send all our 2nd tier players packing and just land that 3rd star. Bye bye Parsons and Lin....you're good guys but...

 

Because they need to package assets, trading Lin with picks is getting worse than nothing so unless there's someone to fill that cap space, we lose.

As compared to Asik, who provided a valuable asset.

 

Neymar wouldn't give up the ball to mo Williams . Mo would have to knee him in the back for that to happen

 

I can understand regarding not to waste assets, but shouldn't we start looking for another good cheap PG by now, though I'm not sure who is available. Bev and Canaan may not provide enough depth for the next season, even though Canaan has shown potential. Unless suddenly Rondo comes into the picture..

Damn the raptors for keeping Lowry.

 

If we do end up trading Lin, DJ Augustin would be a excellent replacement to sign for MLE.

Augustin averaged 15 points, 5 assist, 2 rebounds, a steal and under 2 turnovers a game this season while shooting 42%, and 41% from beyond the arc. He played 61 games averaging 30 minutes for the Bulls this season.

Augustin's advanced stats are better in every category compared to Lin's except rebounding and blocks.
