    wow.

    I love Asik as much as anyone here, and I think he has yet to find his ceiling.

    But — if you were offered Drummond for Asik straight up, you wouldn't take the deal? Asik is a better player at this point, but if I were starting a team today I would opt for Drummond's potential in a heartbeat.

    And I bring up Drummond partly because guys like Noah, Gasol and Cousins have already been mentioned.

    LMAO! Hell no.
    Dwight Howard
    Lopez
    Noah
    Are the only centers I'll take over Asik. The rest is a mega fail. I'll take Horford,
    but as a power forward. You failed, buddy.

    I love Drummond too and Greg Monroe. But Dwight Howard, Brook Lopez and Noah are my favorites. And i'll take them any day over any center in the NBA right now.

    Never said Lin wouldn't improve in passing. Just with Rubio being 2 years younger and already ahead of Lin. Also, certain things people just instinctively good at and in this case it would be Rubio. His shooting can obviously improve from where it is.

    It's true that he needs the ball in his hands but a lot of people have ball dominant guards in their list so I don't see why Rubio is the exception. Does Rubio's potential not exceed Lin's?

    Why is rose ahead of Lin? If your list is based on current performance, rose should be dead last since he hasn't played at all this season

    You'd say no to Gasol?

    What are you guys doing, making NBA 2K lineups...??? Kool...

    Harden ---> No One
    Lin ---> Curry
    Parsons ---> Harrison Barnes
    Greg Smith ----> LMA
    Asik ---> He's good enough but Pekovic or Greg Monroe would be nice also...

    Yes. I find Marc Gasol a bit overrated.

    1. Lin - No one, best PG in the universe and all its parallels
    2. Harden - No one, best beard in the league
    3. Parsons - No one, the hottest person in all of sports
    4. anybody is better than what we have
    5. Asik - No one, the most unstoppable and epic layups that have ever existed.

    Awww Rubio has sooo much experience, you think he would be way better than Lin by now, but no... I guess he had reached his ceiling and his shooting still sucks.
    One thing he is definitely better than Lin though, it's his skill of flopping. He should win an Oscar for best male actor. :grin:

    PG's I'd take over Lin... in no specific order...

    Chris Paul, Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook, Rajon Rondo, Deron Williams, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, John Wall, Jrue Holiday and Kemba Walker .... iffy about talking Goran Dragic and Kyle Lowry over Lin, when you consider the upside factor with Jeremy Lin.
