Who else are they going to sign? Even bench fodder like Blake & Kaman have abandoned them. Lin, Kobe, Young, Jones, D-Mo That's a great trade for them. It's best possible trade scenario for Lin too.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine obiously we need to add picks and stuff. and it doesnt help with no salaries but would this work?
I actually think Lin will do very well there. If Kent Bazemore could put up big numbers on that squad, Lin certainly can/will -- I genuinely hope he does well, sincerely. But I do see that criticism coming quickly, if Kobe is healthy (but yeah, big IF).
What a career: From marginal roster player to Linsanity to playing with todays superstars: Melo, Harden, Dwight and potentially the Black Mamba He'll find the way to Lebron some day
LOFs: If you look at the stats, you will see it is Kobe who is not playing defense. Jeremy Lin actually played good defense. You are just bias. Your bias makes you blind. LOOK AT THE STATS! (say it in a Herve Villechaize / Tattoo voice while pointing at sky) De stats! De stats!
Back in April, i posted lin to Lakers For first round pick and got murdered. If this happens rep this man.
