    Did Larry Smith play like a monster in the first few starts of his career?

    It's really disgusting. Remember though, it's the Lin haters who most ardently wanted to talk about Lin.

    I have already explained Linsanity as historically unique. Well again, let's hope Lin plays much better.

    If Lin has requested a trade then I will lose all respect for him as a person.

    Nash himself stated that he took a few years to develop.

    I have already lost respect for you a while ago, so...I guess we'll call it even? I think Lin cares more about his hair in his @$$crack than your insignificant life.

    well, you think it would have happened by now.

    my guess is that we might see him moved right before the start of the season. other teams will have evaluated their PGs by then and maybe a few teams will inquire about lin.

    if not, then it would be before the trade deadline during the season.

    but i stand by my prediction. :)

    He was not lured by money. You need to do some research before spouting crap like this. He was offered only one contract during his restricted free agency. That was by the Rockets and the figure was high to stop the Knicks from matching although even Morey was not 100% sure the Knicks wouldn't match. He even said he would've preferred to stay a Knick but they didn't match so here he is.

    Read this http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8179081/nba-jeremy-lin-six-degrees-separation-new-york-knicks and learn something today.

    I doubt the promise of running his own team was even there, if it was it was redundant. Since he had only one offer promise or no promise he had to sign it. There is no chance he wants out with Howard on the team. Think a little before you post.

    Why? Because he feels he has the skillset to improve a lot and he won't stay put in a Chalmer's type of position that the Rockets have set for him that would put a heavy restraint on his growth?

    If I was Lin, I would have Rondo'd the team for not letting a PG play PG and smacked Mchale silly long time ago. Thank god I'm not him.

    Morey and LES wanted Linsanity - you better believe it. McHale didn't bring Lin in.

    You are missing the point. Nash had the inherent upside. The flashes were there. I don't see it with Lin.

    Lin will get better in small amounts from here on out. There will be no "big leap" like there was with Nash.

    Nash can shoot the ball. Nobody doubts his jumper.

    Yes he was. The Rockets originally offered something like $6 and then went back to him to up it to 8 knowing it would be hard for the Knicks to match. Jeremy was more than happy to get every penny he could and risked the Knicks not matching, which they didn't. He was unhappy about coming to the Rockets, rather, leaving the Knicks. I don't think he had anything against coming to Houston obviously or he wouldn't have signed the deal, but his preferences were in this order:

    1) The Most Money
    2) New York
    3) Houston

    It just so happened that his preference for #1 cost him #2.

    That doesn't make sense. If he was happy to get $6-7 million that means he wasn't demanding them to give him $8 million. If he did demand the higher amount then you would be right, but he was offered it, why would he turn it down, that would be stupid.

    Worthless post by worthless poster. I'm glad I had your respect at one time, because you never had mine.

    So its ok if Lin requests a trade as a starting PG on a contending team just so he could pad his stats on another team and earn glory/fame. He has earned my respect as a person because of his willingness to face adversity. Now he wants to run away from it? Is this even considered adversity? Do you know how many PGs would gladly trade spots with him?
