    You wouldn't be saying this crap if Lin had the better numbers.

    Jeremy Lin 2 pts vs. Orlando Magic 2014 lmao

    Are you unable to read? What does the sentence before the one you bolded say? You know the one where i state that mcw is a better player than lin? Or are you so hung up on the word "lin" that you are u able to process anything else.

    You keep saying that me making these comparison videos are pointless and stupid, when Lin fans are just mad because the videos are proving them wrong. Even when we both agree that MCW is better you're still trying to make someone look like an idiot when I'm actually proving a point in this thread.

    Yeah MCW suck alright. Eff outta here. That's oneo f the biggest reasons why I dislike posting on fan team message boards. They're biased as all hell, and highly overrate certain players just because they are playing for the home team, instead of looking at reality. (D-Mo and Lin are great examples of this).

    Lin 57.2 TS%, MCW 48.0 TS%, not even close.

    MCW is a Tyreke Evans type,....low efficiency, high TO, but has great raw stats while his team never goes anywhere.

    "All-Star" Jrue Holiday had similar stats, and Hinkie was able to flip him to an idiot GM for 2 lottery picks, same GM that gave Tyreke Evans $44 million.

    Trade hasn't even gone down & MCW is already getting it. Philly is in for a treat.

    MCW is just another asset to Philly. He may stay or get traded like any other asset. May have more value than some other pieces but still just an asset.

    He had a decent rookie season-- a ROY but kind of by default. But there really isn't any indication that he is some sort of future top 20 NBA player. He is also old for a rookie.

    Not sure if there is anyone on the roster that Philly is all that committed to-- maybe Embiid.

    Lin is also just another piece there. He'll get some minutes, may get traded sometime during the season, too.

    I dont know, they both play the same. IMO, neither is better than the other. But I bet they play well together.

    Poor Sixers fans. It's already starting. They need to ship Lin and his groupies to Siberia. This is just ridiculous

    Yeah, that ain't gowanns 2 happen.

    Taking on Stoudemire's $20+ million bloated maggot-swarming corpse just to get Shumpert?

    If the Knicks hadn't been so horrifically mismanaged pre-Phil and had any first rounders to trade, then....MAYBE this would have some legs.

    Otherwise (and "otherwise" is where we are)? She*******y****t.

    LOL.... for what purpose would Philly do this?

    Philly could collect MULTIPLE first round picks for Marcus Thornton(from BKN), or Jarrett Jack(CLE) AND Jeremy Lin(from HOU).

    Each of those 3 players are probably better than Shumpert(the only real young asset in the deal) anyways.

    Instead they would take a hell of alot more with Amare (have to then turn around the buy him out which could waste more of their owners $), and wouldn't get ANY draft pick assets.

    Yeah... SAS... keep dreaming for you and all the Knicks fans out there.
