Lin is not a trash player. He's a good player and Morey has defended him countless times.

He had his warts, but he was easily the best backup PG we could hope for.

I'll miss him.

 

I hope we don't give up too many assets for dumping Lin. A late first round pick is OK but not two.

 

Today is our Lindependence Day

 

So we essentially traded Asik and Lin for Bosh, and maybe upgraded our 2015 pick in the process. Not bad at all.

 

So we are trading Lin and picks to the Lakers without getting anything back????

 

He's going to put up inflated stats in LA. The GARM might still be flooded by LOFs after each Laker game next season

 

I hope it's our own pick not the Pelicans pick.

 

Perfect

 

SOMEONE BUST OUT THE IT'S HAPPENING GIF

 

People never learn, it's almost impossible to beat J.R.

 

SO ESSSITED!!!

 

LOL putting it this way it does look like Morey came out a winner doesn't it?

 

If Morey can hold onto the Pelicans pick, that would be awesome. We cn either use it as another trade chip or use it ourselves next year.

 

cap space, no more LOFs

 

**** I hate the Lakers. This sucks.

 

It's mostly likely a lottery-protected Houston pick not the Pelicans pick.

 

We'll probably get a second rounder or two. Which would actually be valuable.

 

I am still waiting on Lin's Bible verse

 

I'm thinking that's why its the Lakers and not the Sixers.

Hinkie may have overbid in this situation
