    Hard to trade him now when he has shown nothing this year. Should have played him more to showcase him.

    if morey doesn't want him playing because they don't want him hurt. That means they're looking to trade him extremely soon.

    Which sucks, i was hoping we could keep him at least until the deadline, i was actually hoping he would make it through the season with us.

    This just shows how good Lin is as a professional and as a person.

    Terrible. Two defenders who are defensive and one of them needs the ball with his hands. Unless Harden does not want to hold it anymore.

    I would give Asik the benefit of doubt, considering how well he played for the team last season. I'd rather wait for official announcement (if he does indeed request for a trade) before judging him.

    Package a red-hot Lin w/ him (maybe throw in a pick, too), and a top-flight floor general like Ty Lawson might be in play. One of the fastest guards in the league end-to-end and a career 38% 3PT shooter. He'd shine in this system.

    Add Wilson Chandler to make the money work.

    I don't blame him. He is one of the better centers in the NBA and should start somewhere. I hate to lose him because of the depth we would lose but I understand why he wouldn't want to ride the pine all season.

    Hopefully DM pulls another rabbit out of his hat

    Tiago Splitter for Asik? Honestly, I have no idea why the Spurs paid him $10 million per year...

    Lin and Asik needs to be somewhere where they can start and develop.....Lin's situation has not been too bad as he's getting to close games.

    Grrr. McHale needs to give the TT line up more of a chance. Our interior D is awful. Start Lin and start Asik and see if that makes a difference in running the TT. Maybe having two playmakers out there is what the team needs. Also Lin is shooting well while bev can't hit the broad side of a barn so that should help spread the floor.

    If DH12 gets hurt we are screwed with centers. I don't want to trade Asik we need to start him and figure out the TT line up or find a coach who can make it work. Our interior D right now is non existent.
