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

While I understand your perspective, he's just not for me anymore. I used to to actually engage with him on the board (even acknowledged he's a smart guy) but his lin agenda grew old. Haven't noticed too many posts regarding other things but I'm obviously not on here that often.

Neither do I but that's not a realistic comparison. Those are your friends and not some random poster from an internet message board.

 

You have the intelligence of a fire hydrant. He responded to my post not the other way around.

Yeah, that's why he responded to my post with a screen play. Go cry in your Lin snuggie. Lol at a few bums on the internet stressing me out. Try again little fella'

 

Augustin is currently (if he can keep up his play from last season) a much more efficient player, better shooter then either Nelson or Brooks, and also a much better defender as well. From the advanced stats, Augustin is even a better defender then Beverley. Augustin's advanced stats are pretty crazy, his win shared and offensive/defensive ratting are very good from the last season he had with the Bulls.

So based off of advanced stats, Augustin is a more efficient scorer and better shooter then Brooks, Lin, Nelson, AND a better defensive player then Beverley and Lin. Maybe it's a fluke season with the bulls or dumb stats, or maybe he'd be a great pickup for MLE if we end up trading Lin.

 

This.

Explanation: Christmas = Noel

Lin for Noel! Thanks Hinkie

 

if lebron goes back to the cavs, and bosh comes here via S&T... i think the heat might actually be interested in asik/lin/picks just to try to stay in the playoff picture.

 

haha, it's like crack. you keep coming back to this thread to throw lin snuggie insults around.

 

LOL, so now the only way to defend Lin's mediocre to pathetic play for that bloated contract is to write long novels cherry picking stats and making apples to oranges comparison and basically forcing posters into acceptance because majority are not going to read the long drivel.

 

Lol he didn't cherry pick anything. He barely even talked about Lin's play if at all. He was basically saying how great Morey is for being able to get a bargain deal by having Lin and Asik for their two cheaper years then not having to pay for their balloon payments and essentially being able to flip them for a superstar.

 

Embarrassing Lin groupies rarely gets old

 

Huh? How is it a bargain deal when you have to give up potentially a first rounder to dump Lin?

Asik was a net positive
Lin a net negative

 

I would still be cool if dumping Lin can land Bosh or Melo.

 

If you're a 7 foot center and can walk and chew gum at the same time you're worth at least 10 mil. Big men come at a premium because there isn't enough of them who are good. Not saying Asik isn't better than Lin, but it's much easier to yield better assets when there aren't many quality players in the league at your position.

This is probably the golden age of point guards and there's a huge supply of them. Obviously it's much harder to move a mediocre Lin.

When Lin was offered that contract, I said right then that whichever team ends up with him, whether it be the Rockets or the Knicks, it would be very hard to move him after two years because of that balloon payment.

If you look at it from an overall perspective, however, dumping these two balloon payments and getting a superstar is a huge net positive.

 

If you figure Lin was roughly worth $8.3mil/year, then we should package him with $6.6mil to unload him for his last year. I think a future first is worth less than that so we roughly got value for him. And this is all just informed speculation, because we won't know what we have to trade for Lin until it actually happpens.

Lin only looks bad in contrast to the Asik contract, which was obviously a much better deal for the Rockets.

 

40 pages so far of anticipating some LIN trade. how many pages as a result of him getting traded?

 

SHOCKER! :grin:

Philadelphia is not doing the Stoudemire trade (per Stephen A.)

Rumor from a sixer fan another Rockets forum...

Lin for McDaniels & Grant

 

there has to be more to that deal, maybe dmo or something

 

Wow. That's a great trade if that indeed happens which I doubt. I hope we don't give up a first tho. And keep TJones.

 

Lin, DMo, and a 1st for Grant and McDaniels?
