    Wrong. Mediocre point guards get mle money. Point guards with upside and room for improvement get Jeremy Lin money. Actually you have point guards who aren't that much better than Jeremy getting 12 million a year. Heck Brandon Jennings might get a max contract this off season.

    Contrary to your idiotic beliefs it is obvious our front office believes that Jeremy is more than a "mediocre" point guard. As a rockets fan I feel that his contract is a good value and he isn't going anywhere.

    Oh and Chris Paul isn't leaving the clippers, that ship has sailed.

    I agree I believe and Morey and that Contract. But he is no Superstar in the making.

    Lawson is trash. Anyone that thinks he's thinks he's better than Lin has a zero on the basketball knowledge scale.

    Yes. He's a scrub. I would not want him at all. He sucks. Bad player without a doubt. Anyone that argues otherwise obviously has very little basketball knowledge, or has never seen him play, or both.

    The guy has no offense except dribbling and getting easy scores. Can only play in fast basketball. Horrible in every way on defense, does not compete, I could go on...

    $12 million a year?

    Freaking joke. Lawson sucks and he's ridiculously overpaid. One of the worst starting point guards in the NBA easily.

    Lowry had four straight bricks in the finals minutes of the Warriors game.

    I'm sure you watch a ton of Denver Nuggets basketball. Calling Lawson a scrub or trash is absurd. There's certainly a lack of basketball knowledge on display, but it's on your end.

    I would agree he's a terrible defensive player but you're acting like Jeremy lin is a player without major holes in his game. Even more amusing is you acting like he's head and shoulders above Lawson. No question in my mind that more gms would take Lawson over Lin in terms of talent. If you want ot talk contract then i agree he's overpaid. Here's they're stats:

    http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/4000/ty-lawson

    http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/4299/jeremy-lin

    You claim Lin is "way better". Certainly doesn't show up in the stat lines

    There is you = looking up ESPN stats, no basketball knowledge, and never seen Lawson play.

    There is me = actually having basketball knowledge and having actually seen Lawson play.
