As I said, even before the season began last year: One year Rental. Lakers got the draft pick they wanted out of Lin, used him for tanking, and then dumped his ass. *laugh*
Happy for Jeremy that he found a place he thinks he will fit in. I could see him putting up 15 and 6 a game if he plays 32 mins a night. Will be somewhat entertaining to see the new excuses haters come up with to put him down on this board. lol "I dont hate Lin, I just hate the horde of 3 LOFs thats left here". maybe they can step up the truth twisting and go with "I'm actually a big fan of Lin, I just hate Jordan for something related to the Rockets and therefore I now hate everyone on his team and will bash them to death...with the exception of anyone not named Lin"
http://hornetsplanet.com/topic/46409-jeremy-lin-signs-with-the-hornets/page-5 Just one of a few Hornets forums. A user is surprised to see so many Lin fans join the site. Heh. Poor bastards have no idea what's about to happen to them.
LOL! They already busted one LOF pretending to not be a LOF. Posts a Lin highlight video while pretending to be "not really a Lin fan."......with just one post ever made on the site ...with the join date of today!!! "says the guy with one post on the day we signed lin....yeah sure buddy." *laugh* It has begun!!!!
I want to join that message board and warn them, but I am reminded of the technomage in B5: "You are touched by darkness, hornetsplanet. I see it as a blemish that will grow with time. I could warn you, of course, but you would not listen." "Take this, for what little it will profit you. As I look at you, LOFs, I see a great hand reaching out of the stars. The hand is your hand. And I hear sounds--the sounds of billions of people calling your name." "Our followers?" "Your victims."
Fast forward. Kevin McHale - Signs a three year extension for $12M and takes his team to WCF. Jeremy Lin - Helps his team tank for a lottery pick by stinking it up and then signs for the lowly Hornets for 2M a year.
Lin's more of a honey bee than a hornet. He was good once but consequently he lost his stinger and is for all intents and purposes dead.
There are rockets fans who like lin, those people should stay. Then there's danang who doesn't post in anything except lin threads and called clutch a hypocrite. You can diss me all you want, i don't care, but don't **** with number 1. If you don't appreciate this site leave.
I said this in the other thread, but this is a good value signing for Charlotte.... He's a Ramon Sessions. He's fully capable of putting up decent numbers on bad teams. Eventually, another playoff-caliber team will probably take a chance on him. Probably with similar hit-or-miss results.
