I Think It's Time to Explore Trade Options for Lin This Summer

I'd say yes, and I agree hotballa.

If it were possible, I would love for Jeremy to end up with the Lakers or Jazz, I think he'd really flourish there. Jazz are in desperate need of a young attacking PG and Lakers, he'd be the youngin' to take over for Nash, and would have a coach who trusts him.

That said, it'd still make me sad to see him part from this team because I truly believe that when used and encouraged to his strengths he can be a GREAT core piece for this team, hell we've already seen it in chunks and I think we'd see more often if weren't for the utterly clueless coach,

All LOFvsLOH BULLSH~T aside, I can't understand how some would disagree that under McHale, he's in such an incredibly short leash,

-Plays good defense, still get benched for the entire last and most important quarter.
-Shoots 22 times during a great win vs OKC, is told to shoot less because it could've lost us the game.
-Has a "hot hand" and is still yanked from the court because McHale already has "Set substitutions". But when the backup PG gets the hot hand, he rides with it.
-Has 2 TOs, gets benched immediately, while Harden, Carlos and Chandler can get 6 to 7 consecutive ones without a beep from McHale.

We ask for Jeremy to be consistent, but how can he do that when he's being used so inconsistently by his own coach.

 

Today he was hot? Beverley was smoking hot and practically won this game for us. Are you saying we should have pulled Beverley out and put in a PG that had missed several in a row just so his fragile ego wouldn't get hurt?

Lin is in a slump...again.

 

It is dependent on other teams' desire to trade for him. Morey would certainly not going to add any extra value to get rid of his contract if no one want Lin. With the way he's being utilized, his value might hit bottom and might not even worth anything as an expiring contract? Why? New CBA.

 

Why can't LOFHs just agree that McHale is just not that high on Lin. Thats all I and majority of the Lin fans personally don't think. It's not McHale hates Lin, it's never personal, but he just doesn't think Lin is good enough and hence snide comments, control lin from causing damage and benching. Nothing wrong with that, his eam. Why are all these non Lin fans have to justify how much McHale loves Lin.

 

Fixed

 

I honestly think that people are taking this too personally. Lin is inconsistent and you have to have solid possessions late in the game. We should not trade him, he has gotten better throughout the season and will continue to get better.

This is his first year as a starter. He is not a finished product and not proven. We are a developing team, he is a developing player. Sometimes he should go to the bench and not a game goes by where someone doesn't complain about it. Let him develop. We should not trade him because I fully expect him to be much better next season with a full off-season in which he is not rehabbing from an injury.

 

I actually think you're right.

 

+1
Hope Lin or McFail get traded.

 

You wish he would work for the Lakers. If Kobe doesn't really give up the ball to Nash, a 2-times MVP, what make you think he will let Lin do his thing? He's even worse than Harden in terms of dominating the ball, and less efficient at that. I doubt he'll be done playing after 2 years, and their fans are even worse (Blake's death threat). The Jazz is probably his best chance to showcase his skill, but then they have one of the worst coaches in the NBA in Corbin and a post-heavy offense. It also doesn't help that today's NBA have an abundance of good point guards.

 

1) No one will take his contract.
2) There's no need to trade him.

 

agreed! im really surprised he only had 6 fga this game, but i guess he really was trying to get his team involved first.

anyways, <3 lin

 

Lakers?

Are you serious?

Every single one of the Lakers' guards are sharp shooters for a reason.

Kobe will personally strangle Lin in his sleep if he was on the Lakers.

 

Why would we trade him? The guy is a winning player and he's going to develop into a helluva PG. 'Develop' being the key word.

 

I prefer Beverly to start over lin, I never liked him since he rejoined the team

 

How well has Mr. HOF PG Nash done playing with Kobe? Compare that with his previous season and that will tell you all you need to know.

Utah on the other hand would be good fit.

 

Why? Was it the salary?

 

Excuse my ignorance fellow CF'ners, but can someone please explain the acronyms: LOF, LOH, etc please!

Thanks In Advance!

 

These LOFHs are just dragging this argument for no reason. Lin fans are absolutely right, McHale just does not think Lin is ready to be his starting PG, end of story. All his actions, his comments, Lin benching, Aaron Brooks signing points toward that direction. ONE MORE TIME, nothing wrong with that. If you LOFHs can't see that and just keep attacking us for saying we are paranoid about how much McHale hates lin. Well news friggin flash, not high on Lin does not equal hate Lin. No one is saying the has personal vendetta against Lin, this is made up by LOHFs to make their point. But the fact that you guys keeps arguing against the fact that McHale doesn't think Lin is a good enough PG, you all are losing credibility fast.

 

LOF- Lin Only Fan

LOH- Lin Only Hater

Your'e welcome.

 

LOH dont want to trade Lin because they want to see LOFs suffer with Lin on the bench every night. LOLLL!!
