    Huh? I dont even think Lin is hated - I have no animosity toward him... His "fans" on the other hand...

    And even his fans fall far behind: Royce White, Scottie Pippen, etc...

    I used to have paul George in that conversation before his injury, but I think you have the right four.

    My guess is that the coach they want doesn't want to come now.

    Will wait for offseason.

    I'll add Capela and Thornton to the shot list.

    That's it.

    For doing what the owner ordered him to do? Don't you think when Morey called up OKC that he inquired about Durant? He took Harden, because Harden was available. He signed Dwight, because Dwight wanted to leave LA. Morey takes what comes to him under the restrictions given by Alexander. To that end, he's
    done an excellent job. This is on Harden more than it's on Morey.

    Harden isn't going anywhere, and the Knicks aren't giving up Porzingis. He's their first ray of sunshine in over a decade.

    However, I find this subject interesting enough to toss out another name.

    John Wall

    Looks like Lawson got the message! Seems to be playing harder

    Curry isn't that good, tbh. He keeps getting benched in the 4th quarter.

    Wrong.

    At the end of the day, Jeremy Lin is just another one of those sub par point guards that the Rockets have employed. Nothing special about him. Us Rockets fans, and I am not including you, don't really care about Lin anymore. Move on.


    Move on to the Hornets board, nobody cares about Lin anymore here. Stop bringing him up; he's not on the Rockets.

    Wall? Really? That guy is playing worse than Harden this year. Plus his team is under .500 in the east.

    Wall is super overrated imo he gets hyped up but is just as big a party animal as Harden shoots terrible and still hasn't been able to get a talented wizards team in the east to 50 wins.

    hardens way better and it's not even close.

    Walls defense has slipped big time this year also.

    Like you said Harden isn't gojng anywere but the 4 guys you named and gm would make that trade if available to them because there that good.

    I'm still not sure that AD can be the guy on a team it might be he's just to young but I'm not a fan of a big guy being the best player in a championship team in today's nba.

    Now if he was teamed up with aharde or any of the other guys out on the wing, we're talking dynasty minimum 3 rings imo.

    Leslie was just using the Rick Carlisle approach. Nothing to see here.
