Jeremy at this point is probably around 5-6mil. Would be a steal to sign him at 3-4mil. If he learns to be more consistent he's worth 6-8mil. Unlikely so, unless he really finds a coach and a system that fit him and allow him to operate.
Since Zboy follows Lin pretty closely maybe he can tell us his stats vs winning teams. I am curious to know.
actually against playoff teams he isn't as bad as you make him out to be, he posts: 10.9 PPG, 4.9 AST, 41.8%FG, 38.3%3P in 26 mpg against non playoff teams 11.2 PPG, 4.4 AST, 45.4%FG, 34.9%3P in 24.7 mpg for comparisons sakes, Beverley shoots 38.9% against non playoff teams and 37.6% against playoff teams, Lowry shoots 44.1% against non playoff teams and 39.4% against playoff teams, Collison shoots 50.6% against lottery and 44.7% against playoff teams, Conley 46.4% to 44.3%, Brooks 41% to 43%, Holiday 43.1% to 47.7% etc bored interestingly Harden shoots better against playoffs teams (not suprising however) Lin performs as you would expect of a DLeague Peasant Plebian Filth PG, worse against better teams, and this trend isn't reserved for Lin's cowardly and sinister play but also far more talented PG's as well who quite obviously struggle from the field more against better teams, or as you've chosen to catagorise it (Playoff v lottery) cliffnotes + Adjectives -> Lin sucks more against better teams, but other better players also suck more against better teams except Harden because he da real MVP xoxo
Lin is inconsistent indeed but he was practically fine being a sixth man on the rockets. Probably would elevate his game if he were still a sixth man on the rockets. A ginibili mole as you well.
LOL. Interesting post Panda. That just confirms my beliefs about Lin. He is a mental midget scrub fed with a silver spoon his whole life. Stat stuffing a whole .03 PPG against scrub teams...and to make it worse he does it in less minutes and at a higher field goal percentage!? He probably also shoots a higher 3pt % because he is afraid to penetrate against playoff caliber teams. Oh the horror!
Last time I checked, the Lakers themselves are a BAD TEAM. Bad team vs Bad team. Sounds fair to me? Is Jeremy Lin a Superstar that is supposed to carry a bad team and regularly beat championship contending teams? I thought he was a scrub.. Lin Haters are ridiculous. LOL
You're not doing it right. You're supposed to blame Lin for his 2 mistakes in the playoffs when he was the best player after Dwight in the Portland series actually. But scapegoat him anyway; how dare a bench mediocore player not perform like a superstar!? But don't blame Harden, the actual superstar that didn't perform like a superstar in the series :grin:
Numbers not indicative of the entire context. Against playoff teams, Lin usually pads stats and numbers in blowouts when opposition teams are playing the 3rd stringers and clearing the bench. When the game is on the line, dude disappears like the mental midget he is. He is not made for the big game and as such no playoff team with Lin playing major minutes will ever be successful. In the 3 games against the Rockets when Lin was supposed to show the world what a big mistake the Rockets made, Bev absolutely cleaned his dock and held Lin to 4/19 from the field. Lin plays well when there is nothing at stake. He was given the starter role when the Lakers had some expectations and looked scared out there, out of place, embarassing and rightfully had it taken away by a career scrub and then a 2nd round rookie. He lacks mental toughness and crumbles under pressure as seen in Rockets playoff elimination. Here look at the numbers of another PG: 26 MPG, 45% FG%, 38% 3 Point %, 3.5 RPG, 3.1APG No one is claiming that he deserves a starting spot and a team to be built around him. No one is claiming he was marginalized or held back by racists. Lin just like him is a back up in this league. However this guy makes close to the league minimum.
Thats cutw. Bet you that guy didnt break multiple records during his first starts and had the best run/story for an undrafted scrub in the history of NBA. Keep trying. Your arguments will be somehow relevant one day
When people are actually using advance stats to analyze a game featuring Lin and Canaan, between the Lakers and 76ers, which both trying so hard to tank for the season. That's probably the lowest point in the history of human being.
