    Tell Ketchup (presumably, Heinz, otherwise no deal) and Mustard to re-work the deal to get us Porzingis for two secound-rounders. Then maybe your deal will be believable.

    I was as skeptical as you are when I was fed the info. Apparently talks were gaining momentum on Kristaps/Hezonja/Vonleh to be shipped here to Houston but we couldn't get the ball past the 2 yard line. As far as names of my sources are concerned, you know I can't reveal that. If I did, let's just say I might be HUNTed.....

    this fool makes 5 threads a day...gawd damn

    Lin is actually a pretty good backup PG, and he has history with D’antoni

    you’d think that his fans would stfu this time around now that Lin has firmly established himself as the average at best player that he is and Harden has firmly established himself as the MVP caliber player that he is

    I really hope Morey can get a legit 3&D wing and a guy with size that is versatile offensively and grab defensive boards

    This OP is a clown.

    But

    This morning I thought the same fantasy trade using Atlanta as a knight dumping ground and shipping Lin to a 3rd team.

    My fantasy idea was this.

    NYK out: Lee/ntlikina/2nd
    NYK in: Lin/chriss
    Outlook: they shed Lee's 2nd year and gain more cap space for this years free agency. They have given up on Frank it seems and get the fandom of Lin being back.

    HOU out: knight/2nd
    HOU in: Lee/ntlikina
    Outlook: shed knights contract for Lee's contract which is eerily similar although Lee is a better player. Add a potential backup backup of who is known for defense.

    ATL out : Lin
    ATL in: knight/2 2nds
    Outlook: gain 2 2nds for swapping Lin for knight and taking on an added year of backup PGA salary.

    Can’t remember. Were we into our switching defense strategy when Lin played here. Was that the reason the Lillard shot happened?

    Lin with MDA could be a nice back up over some other guards we have...............

    No, but his fans were unfair to us. That was not a fun time putting up with all that loved Lin. o_O

    Sadly, I could use the entertainment at this point. I say bring him back Morey! I would laugh/cry myself to sleep every night just reading the madness.

    As a player he ain’t to shabby these days. I wouldn’t hate it. He could actually help spell CP.

    Jones was guarding the inbound passer. I forgot who it was, Parsons couldn't stop Lillard. It wasn't his fault though. Lillard got a very clear look. To be fair to Lin, he recovered the ball from Harden and passed it to Daniels for the winner, earlier in the series. Lin didn't play all that badly against Portland, but he blew a layup after getting to the rim with ease. That was shocking to see.

    If this sh't is going to happen,

    there is only one positive outcome that I can think of :

    that to some extent, the revenue of the site will be improved and maybe we can get rid of some of those annoying pup up ad banners.

    Other than this, fork it.
