    holy bejeebus.... what is wrong with you man? your logic is so flawed I'm concerned for your family and those in vehicles near you.

    If a player is a high value at a low contract, he is inherently more valuable than a good player on a fair contract. Jeez

    Parker is one of the most shoot first PGs in the game today. He is also a great facilitator, but thats a by product of how the offense flows with Duncan as the cornerstone of the team.

    You're not taking into account the context of the shots vs passes. TP will REALLY play out of the offense to get his shots (last two minutes of spurs vs rockets game for example). Its fair, because he can hit them at a good clip too, but towards the end of the game he kept taking his midrange jumper even though he was missing. So you showing that he passes at a fair clip is not entirely accurate even though you are correct that Parker is a much better facilitator now than he used to be.

    Its actually the biggest criticism that spurs fans have of him, all the parker threads on spurstalk are littered with the fact that he shoots too much and plays out of the offense.

    http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2

    Your pic doesn't make any sense either, he is right, Parker is technically not a facilitator PG. As a big parker fan I'll admit that most of his passing comes from the spurs offensive scheme and Duncan, I can't see him replicating that if he were say, a rocket tomorrow.

    Don't bother with that dude, I'm going to stop replying to him. His Lin obsession is like a drug that prevents him from thinking rationally. His logic has to be altered in a way to support Lin as the post clearly shows.

    In Chandler Parsons case, yes. Patrick Beverley, no.

    Parsons will be re-upped, Beverley will be traded.

    Can you seriously say with a straight face that Beverley is a higher value than Lin?

    Haha just being a bit asinine (since you were poking fun at his logic), but technically a player who is "high value" on any contract is inherently more valuable than a "good player" (assuming by good player you essentially mean "good value" -- for your argument to work) on any contract, since the definition of "high value" here already assumes...higher...value :D

    I'm not the one with the Lin obsession. I know Lin's value, along with Harden and Howard and Parsons. I've never put Lin higher than anybody, with the exception of Brooks and Beverley, because he is clearly the superior PG.

    It is only you delusional people who overvalue Beverley, and/or undervalue Lin.

    And you are already an admitted troll, who purposely exagerates in order to bash Lin. And yet you criticize me. LMAO.

    Sarcasm. Apart from reading comprehension and overall intelligence, seems to be something you lack as well.

    Of course. Whenever you get called out, blame the other person for not understanding your genius wit.

    I can see how someone can see that if they really, really, really, really value 3 point shooting.

    Of course he is, the millions in salary space/cap holds is what will allow us to have a max salary slot whilst keeping H&H, Parsons and Bev.

    As of now I think that Lin might be the better player, maybe only because AB hasn't had the adequate time to play to his potential and get used to the offense. He has shown a number of games where he plays like the AB of old but he has to play like that a lot more. With the adequate minutes, we can know by the end of this season. If AB were to play like vintage 09' AB, then yes and he would be a much better fit, but as of now Lin is better because he is a better defender and we can expect more defensive consistency that way.

    Lin is somewhat better than AB.

    1. Lin gets to the FT line a ton. AB doesn't.

    2. Lin can defend "some" shooting guards and a few point guards. AB cannot defend anybody.

    3. Lin is better at creating and finding guys for open shots.

    4. AB is a better shooter from distance but Lin has closed the gap considerably.


    Overall, Lin is the better player. No question about that.

    Now this is a stupid post. At least you didn't type up half a page of drivel about your random opinions to go along with it.

    I don't know if Lin is better than Felton, let alone AB.

    It can be just as easily said that you have an obsession with AB. The AB of 09 is gone. There is a reason that every damn gm in the league past him and he had to play overseas. Brooks is 28. We have seen what he can do. He isn't going to get any better. Lin is 25 and this is his essentially is 2nd full season starting. He CAN become better while still putting up better numbers than Brooks by a fairly decent margin at his current state. Brooks has only regressed while Lin has been out. It contradicts your theory that Brooks needs more playing time to get better. He was MUCH better his first few games when Lin was out and has been frankly sucking major dick his past 5 games.... 34.7% fg past 5 games. His size frankly makes him take low percentage shots majority of the time.

    It's hard to tell if this is sarcasm... In what statistical way is Felton better than Lin.
