    I have one thing to say to you.

    $2 million a year on the Hornets.

    Lin fans and mcgrady fans hate harden.
    They have that in common as well as thousands of excuses

    Oh LAWD.

    That would explain why Kemba sucks so bad.

    Even Hornet fans make fun of him.

    Kemba Shoots 38% from the field. Yup, looks like he learned from Jeremy Lin alright!

    Now he can further destroy his game by watching Lin from the sideline.

    PS. Thanks for enlarging the font size for that hilarity. Wouldn't want to miss that. *laugh* You just got sonned again! ;)

    Second year player option; so he's hoping to do well with extra playing time in his style of play then hit free agency next year, with an extra 2M of insurance in case he gets injured.

    I'm willing to assume he believes in himself as a player more than you do.

    I would hope so LOL.

    Some say he doesnt though.

    Or he would not run away to play on the Hornets.

    I say, show me the proof first that other teams offered him more.

    Anyways, my comment was aimed at "Razsan" who kept telling us what a gift from God Jeremy Lin is but being held back by everyone.

    Reality is.....$2M on the Hornets.

    Safest request in the world.

    The only question we will be able to get data on is how he does in the coming year. While I have no doubt you are more than willing to make a prediction, I'll wait and see.

    I don't disagree with that at all. We'll see if it was a good decision or not.

    True.

    We are talking topping $2 million a year offer.

    That is as safe as it gets.

    is this the same confidence he had while on the rockets and lakers?

    or is this is something he developed this off-season?

    If other team's FO believes LIN is at least a quality backup PG which can help them win games, they can easily match Charlotte's offer

    but it's obvious no other team believes that

    His stated reason for going there was that he wanted playing time in his style of play. But whatever.

    Could be this off-season.

    According to reports he worked with Nash over the Summer.

    Lakers were so pleased with the progress that they let him go to Hornets, their D-League team, so that he could further work on his game with Kemba Walker.

    Meanwhile, Lakers, with plenty of cap space, and looking for talent are ....well.....still looking....

    I am assuming when you mean his style you mean pick and roll and fast tempo game.

    Remind me again.

    What did Rockets ask him to do while he was here?

    So his style is to play the same style that Rockets played but for a bottom dweller and no expectations?

    The reason he went there was because he really did not have much of a choice. It is not like he is going to tell his fans that I really didnt have much of a choice. You are looking too much into a PR statement made by him. If I see some proof otherwise, I will gladly retract my statement.
