    Omer Asik was pretty good, too.

    Nope. There's only on person with label Asian in his description that was any good, and that was Yao Ming.

    Monroe and Bledsoe back in the fold....this has been the worst offseason in recent times. No chance at Rox acquiring any Phoenix guards as Bledsoe and Thomas are locked until almost January and Dragic ain't going to Houston after Phoenix turned down Hibbert trade. Forget about Rondo as Ainge is a #%^* who wouldn't take less than Parsons (on the cheap contract) and a first last year. With McHale overplaying Harden and Howard (and Rox history with injuries), I fear an inevitable injury to one of them and us in the lottery with no pick of our own. Waiting on a "miracle" trade by Morey, but beginning to think he may be running out of moves prior to start of the season.

    I thought Lin was good for the role and time he was given. too bad McHale didn't play him more often.

    Ming was good but i didn't see the aggressiveness and hunger to be an all time great.

    won't take too much into you bashing other people. It could be said about the same about the haters. Love is better than hate right?

    1. actually that was true

    2. he takes less shots. but that's because freethrows attempts to not count as a shot attempt. adjusted Ball usage ratio would rate Harden at least top five in ball usage.

    3. Well, as for Lin being hot garbage, you're kind of off base. He put up solid PER numbers for the role he was given. So you're kind of in delusional at this point. calling a player hot garbage.

    Yep Michael was blocking Lin from being an all time great

    And Yao was blocking Ming from being an all time great

    Lin was ok in his role. It's too bad he wasn't great in his role so McHale could have justified playing him more often, but to be honest 32 and 30 minutes per game in his 2 years is hardly what I would call not being played very much.

    As for your statement on Yao. Couldn't disagree any more.

    Delusional is thinking someone is not hot garbage considering the fact that none of the other teams wanted to trade for him unless a pick is included

    but that's kind of more circumstantial. Look at the direct evidence instead with the time he played, the role he played the PER, defensive +-

    It's I think Philly wanted him and the Bucks did. However, 15 Million is alot to pay any player. So I think that other teams wanted a pick in return for paying a not quite proven player 15 mil this year

    That contract doesn't make him hot garbage. Perhaps he was paid too much for just having that great year with the Knicks. that is being called over-valued, or over-rated, but not hot garbage. You know who is hot garbage, Raymond Felton. I don't even think he should be humiliated like that.

    Unproven player for 15m per = hot garbage

    Proven player for 15m = Asik

    I guess we agree on that topic. I just don't call players hot garbage, even if they are over-paid.
