[2017-2018] Jeremy Lin as a backup point guard on the Brooklyn Nets

Whoa...this isn't America???

 

The only negative thing I have ever written about James Harden was that I didn't like his love for strip clubs. Otherwise, I have said that he is a fantastic player, that McHale and the Rockets were right to build the team around him and to move Lin to the 2nd unit because of skillset fit, and that ultimately the Rockets made the right decision to trade Lin. Not sure how you think that is "hating on Harden"...is this "WRONG INFORMATION"?

 

NO THIS IS CLUTCHFANS

WE ARE A SOVEREIGN STATE OF ROCKETS FANS

NON ROCKETS FANS NOT WELCOME

 

How is a J Lin thread still going in the offseason like 4 years after he left our team? The Lin fan bashers are just as bad as the Lin fans. Why don't ya'll just ignore each other?

 

Why don't you take your own advice?

 

Because I'm not a Lin fan or a Lin basher.

 

LOL these lin threads are a complete mess. Lin isnt even relevant anymore. Id be surprised if hes still in the league a couple years from now.

So are yoeddy and migos the only LOFs here?

 

are simply a rockets fan who recognizes him for what he truly is? a mediocre role player at best?

 

There are more in the other thread because this one is just about an unlikely hypothetical about Lin being a backup PG for the Nets.

 

Lin will be in the league for another 3 to 5 seasons and I believe as a very serviceable backup guard. He is due another big pay day after this contract is up. I see him getting a 2-3 contract at 15 to 17m per season.

 

Are you asking my opinion of Lin? He's a decent player that is a good option for a fast break second unit. He's got skills, but didn't have the skills necessary to help this team (ie off ball shooting). I liked him a lot with Pat Beverly. Pat gave the D for the 1st unit, and Lin gave the O for the second unit. Kinda like when we had Brooks and Lowry.

He's like a poor man's Jamal Crawford, except his skill is attacking the basket and Crawford's is hitting ridiculous shots. There is probably a better player to compare him to, just can't think of one at the moment.

 

@yoeddy can be reasoned with. @mig0s legitametly thinks lin was traded for Chris bosh

 

WE NEED A FIREWALL!

 

lmao people been saying Lin will be out of the league for the last 5 years. But every year he keeps getting better. How does someone who plays not even 25min/game and averages 14.5 ppg be out of the league 'couple years from now'? Lmao

you must be dumb and uneducated. Joined in 2016 are you even a rockets fan?

 

He's a bigger Rockets fan than you.

Wake up, the Nets had the worst record last year and Lin played half a season.

Morey had to beg the Lakers to take him.

Then Kobe kicked his ass.

 

As soon as @mig0s logs on to cfans she immediately rushes to the lin tread and freaks out on anyone who doesn't gargle Lin balls

 

This assessment of Lin's 2nd season with the Rockets disagrees with you:
http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/year-review-jeremy-lin

"Lin’s biggest strides came as a shooter as he established career highs in both 3-point percentage (.358) and true shooting percentage (.572). In fact, the Ivy League product’s true shooting figure was 10th among all point guards this season, eclipsing the marks posted by All-Stars Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving. Lin also ranked well above average as a catch-and-shoot threat, knocking down better than 40 percent of his catch-and-shoot opportunities from beyond the arc. And not only did Lin improve upon his 3-point accuracy for the fourth consecutive year, he did the same with regard to his finishing touch around the rim where he managed to knock down more than 62 percent of his shots taken from that area this season – this after connecting at a rate of 58.1 and 48.7 percent, respectively, during the prior two seasons."

Coming out of college, Lin used to say he likened his style of play to Dragic....

 

A good read about Lin vs. Beverley on defense:
