I think you caught the substance of the truth. It's just a question of whether we can get fair value for Asik now, and I don't think we can....
You're using Lin as a back up shooting/combo guard in that role and while he is okay at it and will produce points for the team, I don't think...
That makes sense, but other GMs aren't stupid. It'll be obvious to them what's going on. It doesn't look like the Rockets have any real leverage...
Why would the Rockets agree to this? Asik's trade value has plummeted. The only hope now is that teams get desperate at the deadline for a...
It's apples and oranges. You are comparing a situation when Beverely was starting and Lin was on the bench to when Lin is starting and Beverly...
Your entire post is a giant strawman. Me and me kind? Actually my opinion is that if Jeremy is used right and given the chance to play as...
False dichotomy. Even during this bad stretch of games Lin has played as good or better than Beverely has played all season. It is true that...
Asik's trade value has never been lower since he joined the team. I think in the end he will fold and start playing again (assuming his injury is...
I think most people would find it difficult to want to contribute financially when they feel that things are not run fairly or impartially. A...
Except it seems one kind of hypocrisy has the veil of legitimacy on here, through the distribution of rep and so forth.
As long as Mchale is coach, this is true. Lin would have to play like an all star every game to have a chance.
Good question. I actually don't think the answer is stats, even though Lin is better statistically on offence. I think if Lin is handling the...
Players do miss open shots from time to time, but not usually on open layups. Usually defensive pressure has something to do with that, it affects...
That's a fair point. I agree that wall got the better of Lin in the second half. Overall I think it was a wash.
The only things that matter is the eye test that supports your belief that Lin is not good enough to start over Beverly right? Same with stats. If...
How did Lin do against Parker again?
Your 'eye test' is nothing if not consistent. Bev is a goat defender and Lin is a crap defender. Seems like no matter what happens on the court...
Lin did a good job on wall in the first half and most of the third quarter. Towards the end he seemed to tire and then wall did blow by him. Also...
Bev is not good enough to be a starter. The last few games Lin has been playing like Beverly (except last night). Sub par shooting/scoring but...
It's brilliant. When Tony Parker scores 27 points on 27 shots people praise Beverly's defense. Yet when John wall scores 23 points on 22 shots the...
