Dragic has been all over the basketball news. his last 8 games i think they said he's been averaging 30 minutes and 23ppg. thats pretty impressive. imagine how good we would be if we had him here.
This team wouldn't be better. There's no way he'd have the ball as much, and that's just the first thing.
Ahhh.. this site says in the 2011/12 season (ie. with the rockets), """ As a starter overall (28 games), averaged 18.0 points, 8.4 assists and 1.82 steals... """ Maybe the previous numbers included the non-starter numbers. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/goran_dragic/ Pretty good, aye? But get this, later in the paragraph, it mentions Lin (!). """ By comparison, Jeremy Lin, who made perhaps the biggest splash of any player last season, averaged 18.2 points (Dragic-18.0) and 7.7 assists (Dragic-8.4) in 25 games as a starter… """ Yikes. Cant escape that man He's everywhere.
thats because if you go to other team forums... aside from a few who think Lin is trash... most other team fans, think Lin is just wasting away in Houston...
So does that mean Morey should or shouldn't trade Lin? Because the last time he did, Lin had all-star numbers as well... It is. And when we see Lin succeed on a new team there will be even more threads about it I guess. Happy for Lowry since he's in the East. But Dragic should have manned up and accepted our terms.
If it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't know that they are doing good now as I only follow the Rockets. The answer is NO, I don't feel anything for those two.
Nah. Rockets fans are sick of Lin fans at this point in time, so I doubt most would actually care with Lin. None of us wants to actively trade him, but it would be a huge breath of fresh air to have his r****ded fans migrate out of here.
I'm happy for them, but I don't think they do much better than Lin/Bev on current Rockets team as 3rd or 4th option. It's all about right situation. Lin had that linsanity thing going when he had complete control of the ball, but he can't re-produce that in Houston even though he's a better player now.
I imagined, and pictured us as much worse off. Dragic would put up nowhere close to those numbers being used in a Bev or Lin role on this team.
