LOL @ people trying to justify how much Lin is actually worth. You guys need to study economics. Supply and demand. Lin was a free agent. Not restricted. FREE! Everyone had a fair shot at signing him. In the end, he was signed by Lolnets for 2 million a year. NEWSFLASH: Lolnets still have their MLE *LAUGH* They didnt even need to use it on Lin! The market decides what the player is worth and the verdict for Jeremy Lin? Scrub. Like the one he played as in a Lakers jersey last year.
They are. There's no way real Rockets fans like them would have so many posts in this if there weren't so many LOFs still here.
Saw how many posts this thread had and just had to insert my opinion! I think he'll be good there. People don't realize, but this guy has been under a ton of pressure since Linsanity happened (NY, HOU, LA) and hasn't exactly played for small market teams. The ability is definitely there, and hopefully being out of the spotlight in a backup capacity will calm his nerves that always seemed to get in the way at the wrong time.
tinman and Zboy should start their own separate thread where they bash Lin by themselves. They can play off each other. It's in half the Lin threads anyway, so why bother discussing with anyone else?
Also, why are people so interested in our former backup point guard anyway? If anything we should have threads on Kyle Lowry and Goran Dragic.
Some people get on clutch fans to talk about their favorite team. Same people come to look at funny pictures of cats. Others come to bash a guy who plays for Jordan .
No more pressure than Beverley had to deal with. He was surviving just to be in the league. Lin was already paid. Fast forward. Beverley is still here. He is the one getting paid now. Some can take the heat while others cant. No matter how you guys twist it, you are only re-affirming what we have been saying all along.... Jeremy Lin is a mental midget. Why do you think he gets nervous and starts to run around like a headless chicken? He cant dribble the ball under pressure. Unless he learns to dribble, he will always cough it up if you apply pressure on him, especially with the weak-side help. So, I do agree that he has a better chance of success in Charlotte. Simply because not many teams will need to pressure a PG on hornets, much less a backup one. Folks, we have set the bar to an all time low for Jeremy Lin. Put him on one of the worst teams in the NBA. Make him come in as a backup to one of the worst starting PgG in the NBA. *laugh* Nowhere to go but up since he cant exactly go any lower other than making a final exit.
Oh how the expectations have fallen. People are now expecting him to do just FINE as a min wage back up on one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. So it wasn't the racist Houston Rockets that held him back and marginalized him from the all star he was (according to Lin fans). Out of the spotlight in a backup capacity? Essentially you agree he is coward who can't face any pressure. Yeah we know that.
5 is too many. 1 is too many. Zero is just right Don't forget all the jealous non hakeem level posters talking about the 2 great hakeem level posters.
Well then, lets just all agree that Lin is now a scrub, getting paid scrub money, and probably will produce scrub stats. So what else is there to discuss about? How is this thread even more than 10 pages?
no. He will be terrible. First of all he can play alongside Kemba. He also can't play with Al Jefferson. He is a terrible horrible fit and Charlotte again will be bad team.

No matter how you guys twist it, you are only re-affirming what we have been saying all along.... Jeremy Lin is a mental midget. No mental midget dude...playing in the NBA and with a couple of the biggest sports markets in the world plus having to keep bouncing back after one set back after another...boy you have seriously reality issues my friend.... do you remember the huge game he had after being the goat against Portland in the playoffs? He actually spark the entire team after they look totally not really to play after that very disappointing lost. He did not sly away but mentally had the strength playing at home to push that Rocket to a win! That's no mental midget....zboy is the mental midget.

Too funny bro... Sorry, you and zboy are no hakeem level posters...maybe more like Metta World Peace aka Ron Artest...jajajaja
He needed a break from basketball only this summer because of pressure...of being the third string pg in a tanking team. If that's not a mental midget then what is?
