    I'm NO fan at all of Zboy and Tinman's "ALL-Comments-MUST-Be-Backhanded" posting style....at ALL. Its really not cute

    Though YOU, mig0s, VALIDATE Zboy in EVERY way.
    (Yes it did take 7500 Posts and 375 pages for them to finally track in the one "Bad Example LOF" in their radars , but it happened)

    You're NOT looking like the good guy here. Just give it up whatever you're doing...really. (And allow another 7500 posts of empty Bad Example LOF hunt with some occassional moderate posts mixed in to happen. )

    What does it say about LOFs when they (A) lack basketball knowledge of the only player they care about and (B) has to resort to attack on intellectualism because they lack any defensible positions themselves?

    As someone who skims this thread from time to time, I must admit I chuckled at this post because you truly exemplify all that is annoying about player-only-fans for a sport that is based on team play.

    Which is not surprising given the fact that Lin fans are known to be dumb, delusional and know very little about basketball. They are known to make up stats and lies and conspiracy theories

    True knowledgeable fans like Zboy present real stats

    LIN fans know NIL about LIN

    They got heads like holes

    migos needs to bow down to the hakeem status people he serves
    he clearly is getting what he deserves

    NIN > LIN

    I guess they want to check out Lin after they secure their draft pick, but why? They should be going all in on Clarkson development. What in the world could they offer Lin that would make him want to come back and play in Byron's offensive system instead of one that at least maximizes his skillset?

    I don't get the move. Jordan Clarkson is the one who is actually under contract for the next year.

    But then again, I have no idea why Boozer is still on the roster. The Lakers should have just released pretty much everyone who isn't coming back and sign some guys playing in the D-League or overseas to fill out the roster.

    Also, I have no idea why Scott keeps announcing potential moves a few games before actually making them. If you think that a move should be made, just make it now. Why wait?

    Must have come from up top; Lakers can't risk winning anymore games with a bunch of teams mailing it in so inserting Airemy makes sense. It ensures failure

    If that is the case, they should do it right now rather than wait until there is 10 games left "maybe more." The Lakers are just acting very randomly. No logical explanation whether it's to win or to tank or to do whatever.

    Well think about it, it makes perfect sense in terms of being an offseason move. If they keep losing, then Lakers probably secures their draft pick before the last 10 games. So what's left? Show potential FAs how they treat their players. The player that gets most attention is Jeremy. If they start catering toward Jeremy and we know that he's capable of putting big stats out if you play him in a certain way, then it'll garner news for potential FA like Dragic. And it MAY persuade Lin to go back with a discount salary for showcasing him. It's a win win move. Also you can give experience to the rookies of handling different roles for when he becomes a off-ball player.

    It makes perfect sense. "Look come to LA! We treat you well AND we have picks for a bright future! Oh btw Jeremy, wanna come back and play for a cheap price, we'll *guarantee* ahem* that we will treat you the same again!"

    And even if Lin doesn't go back, nothing negative really happens.

    No free agent is running to the Lakers to play with a below average to mediocre back up in Lin. How the Lakers cater to Lin will have zero effect on Free agents' decision. Lin really isn't all that
