    This is the same educated forum that suggested that Monta Ellis and James Harden would be an ideal combo, unaware that the idea of swapping Lin for Ellis had already been lampooned in The Onion.

    Why would they make up something like that? Even during the off season Woodson didn't even visit Lin at his place instead made him fly from the bay to LA. Definitely not hard to believe.

    How about we just let Lin work on his weaknesses in the off season? Let him earn McHale's trust.

    It looks familiar. I must have read it somewhere last year. Well at least Alex likes Lin more than Dolan. He actually cares more about Lin's marketing effect than Dolan does.

    An actual QUOTE from an actual public INTERVIEW [​IMG]

    Well I also followed Linsanity too, and Woodson did the right thing that time for Jeremy to get too ball-hoggish, what does that have to do with our trust discussion? :confused:
    You completely ignored this part of my comment
    What do you consider that if it wasn't trust?

    HOU will make sure that he's a bust before getting rid of him. They're not going to make the same mistake twice. Imagine getting rid of him (again) and then watching him flourish or even worse, go Linsanity mode on another team?! Not happening. He's made progress each month and has potential, that's why some don't want him gone.

    The whole team got together in LA to talk about the future and offseason, did you want them to have a sleepover at Jeremy's place? lol stop it SuperStar, stop it right now.

    Yeah I think it came from Frank Isola not sure how reputable he is. But if you read about Lin's off season during FA, it sure sounds like the Knicks didn't cared about him much.

    Can we keep Lin and trade away the LOFs?

    You're equating Mchale's own words to an unnamed source speaking for Woodson. Wow.

    I tend to believe someone's word above unnamed sources; that's just me. Woodson told Lin last summer that he was going to be his starting PG. Lin and Woodson confirmed this on separate occasions. I'm assuming you would prefer to believe an unnamed source rather than the people themselves.

    so one game sample size we're taking about coach's trust.
    Ok, how about Rox vs Mavs? lin didn't play well trough out 1-3 quarter, but mchale didn't benched him and put the ball in his hand over harden and let him explode 4th. sounds familiar? honestly i don't see any difference between Woodson and Mchale in terms of TRUST matter.

    Yet John Wall is again shooting 7% from three just like last season, barely shooting 40% while averaging almost 4 TOs per game and everyone still hypes him up and he still gets star treatment on his team and among his peers.

    LOL Frank Asshola? a dried up turd is more respectable as a source than him.

    Aside from that one game that I just used an example of, did Woodson ever do any of this:
    I see a pretty damn big difference in trust, I guess we'll agree to disagree.

    Damn. Some people are so damn impatient... You just can't expect him to be your "type" of player in one full year. It takes time..

    Well I wouldn't be against it....
    To compliment Harden, how about Lin for Reddick + pick?

    Did the Rockets lose tonight or something and why is farting in the shower even a topic of discussion in the hangout?
