    I wouldn't go that far.
    Ronnie Price is a consistent scrub. Lin is an inconsistent player whose ceiling is a starter on a contending team and whose floor is the turnover prone loser in the local rec league and then he has a bunch of passable games in between those two peaks and valleys.

    I'm just glad the Rockets don't have to deal with this hairpulling inconsistency anymore.

    It's not his decision making with the Lakers. It's his defense. Probably the worst in the team along with Boozer.

    I think Brent Price is a better point guard than Lin.

    I think of Vincent Price's laugh when Scott that Lin was being benched

    Can we stop this hate on Lin please. I understand the hate on Parsons cause of the way he left but we traded Lin, I for one want Lin to succeed with the Lakers cause he wore Red and White. Hate on his fans if you must but not on the player

    Man, the hate and scapegoating that Lin gets from fans and coaches is incredible. He's not having a great year but his percentages are good and his overall stats at least in the realm of mediocre.

    Meanwhile, Ronnie Price is averaging .317 FG% on the year. I just looked up his career stats and it's incredible. 3.4 ppg, .375 FG%, and 8.8 PER over his 10 year career. Quite frankly I'm shocked Price even has a 10 year career, since stats like these do not at all belong in the NBA. He's a D-League talent, someone you hand out 10 day contracts to if everyone else on your team is too injured to play.

    Yet Price is starting over Lin now? Unbelievable.

    The fact that some people are even trumpeting this decision shows how much crap Lin has to put up with.

    And Lin probably won't have a 10 year career.

    The fact that people can't see Price (as crap as he is) is a better option just shows how few of them have watched the Lakers play.

    Ronnie Price can't stop Jru Holiday. He can't create, can't shoot.

    I will think BS just try to make a point and insert Lin back to starting lineup in 10 games.

    You and I can only see what happens on the court, how do you know Lin is not in the dog house with Scott?

    I mean he did say something that he fit better with the Rockets. I know he's honest, but that was an indirect shot at Scott.

    Scott said that Lin doesn't know what a point guard is .. think about that.

    Believe it.

    Whether lin starts or no the lakers will keep losing lol. Just look at kobe's fga per game and their points given. That means iso on the offense and worst defense in the league lol

    Honestly, the only teams benefited by this switch are the other 29 teams in the league. There is absolutely no need to guard Price, so guys are available to double or even triple Kobe. And we know Kobe's gonna shoot no matter how many defenders are on him, so.....

    Linsanity was definitely an anomaly because Jeremy Lin is an average player, he always runs to the side on offence and gives the ball up too easily to his team mates when dribbling it down the court
