    you bumped a thread like this for that comment?

    for future reference, bumping threads with a high likelihood to become polarizing "I told you so" threads or "lol at ppl who said x back 8 months ago" is not so much a good idea.

    me thinks

    He was complimenting Bloop for his accurate foresight. Was just reading this Lin article for anyone interested. It's a "letter" to Dolan from a pissed off ex-Knicks fan, with about 200 other upset fan's replies, after NY mmgt. didn't match.

    Wow I must be very, very careful in the future about what I type with all these unofficial rules around then?

    Oh and another thing I was just looking for that guy(forgot his screen name) that said " I will kiss a cow's a** if Lin ever score over 30pts in a game this season".

    With a promise like that, it must have been either Kwame or GlenRice.

    Those two became infamous for making "if X happens, I'll do Y" claims, and then when X does happen, try to worm their way out of it (and just digging themselves deeper in doing so).

    So if we didn't waive him, who will start for us now? Who will leave?

    I thought Lin had been improving as of late but I guess management didn't think so. Does Machado back up Douglas now? Best of luck to Lin in the future.

    After picking up the Eurocup guy, the Rockets have to waive someone soon. I guess it's Jeremy's turn to get waived again. Maybe they're trying to start a new tradition for a new Rockets team. Waive Jeremy each Christmas eve and sign back a better version of him each summer, so that you can waive him again. Nothing like tradition. And it seemed to do wonders for his breakout last time around, so imagine the heights he can soar to if the Rockets embrace this tradition of waiving Jeremy as a new age training and development tool. It already has a nice track record.
