[Chron article] Machado’s playmaking ability could provide depth behind Lin

I can't believe this.

Just from memory:
"I'm a true point guard, not like Lin." + a comparison with Nash thrown in there

"Just look at my college stats vs Lin's."

"a wonderful kid"

Sure, the media twisted all these words to make them sound like disses, because they're actually pretty complimentary of Lin or, well, totally pointless.

For the record, if Machado ever replaces Lin as starter, more power to him.

And if Lin fails to earn his contract, bench his ass or send him back down to the D-League.

Incidentally, are there posters so unsophisticated they haven't heard of scrolling over unwelcome posts?

He's still raw. Where's this playmaking ability I'm hearing so much about?

 

Can't blame him, look who's guarding him.

 

Because he's a "true point guard".

 

Definitely agree with this point from what i've seen from the scrimmages this combo has looked very good because the 2 is Jlins natural position but then the Kmart question. I'm thinking management has to see this in the practices and file it based on what happens during the season before the tradeline. No need to trade KMart now because God forbid there are injuries you have options in an area where right now not too deep.

 

He won't, otherwise he won't be "pure PG".
