    Don't worry bro, one of these days Lin will finally cave and say yes to your handjob offer.

    I have no problem upgrading the PG as long as it's a legit upgrade. I'm not talking about some PG in his 30's thats just marginally better at spot up shooting either. Lin is very young and has a chance to be very good. IF CP3 wants to sign here in the off-season then I'm all for it but until something significant at the PG position becomes available then I would prefer to let Lin develop and see what he can become.

    If you'd meant BACKUP PG I might've taken this thread seriously.

    Stephon Curry!! or Seth Curry from the draft (2nd round I think - cause of height).

    Jimmer, Lawson, Brooks, Chalmers (very underrated), Knight.

    Upgrade here would be Lawson, Chalmers, Knight and Stephon Curry but Brooks could be considered an upgrade if you are looking only for scoring.

    I would say Chauncy Billups but he is old and is looking for a championship.

    would love the train wreck threads if we acquired rondo and paired him up with harden. "y no rondo shoot 3 good and stuff? trade him!"

    let at least a season go by.

    Rocket Fans will understand that no one is untouchable. not Asik, not Harden, not Lin, not Parsons etc etc.

    So really if the OP has someone that is better then we absolutely should grab them.

    But having said that you've already committed 8 mill cap space per year for this year and the next two years. So really anyone we bring it will have that constraint on our cap.

    Are you going to do this by trade? if so with who? or are you going to outright side someone with the money left over? 3 mil?

    I mean I'm ok with that. Get someone as backup and if outplays Lin then so be it. But I don't know who's out there at that price range that will be the great player you feel we need.

    This thread could have gone under "Jeremy Lin is a Joke".

    The constant attention seeking disdain is disturbing. It's no wonder that Goran and Kyle made it hard for us to resign them.

    Another Lin hate thread. Before u make a thread like this at least wait till end of the year to know what kind of player he really is. He is not validating his contract? After 15 games? GTFO. I hope u get fired from your new job after a month.

    Why are you obsessing about handjobs? Maybe being delusional isn't your only issue.

    All that mumble jumble from OP just wasted 5 minutes of my time. He could've said, "I don't like Lin and let's trade him!"

    Or "Hey, Chinks: Why Are You Chinks So Attached To Our Chink Point Guard?," which seems to be what he means to say.

    You do realize why I mentioned Jimmer? Cause he can shoot and doesn't need the ball to shoot. Otherwise he is useless.
