    Heh, this is could be true.

    It was said that Les was beyond angry at Morey the first time.

    So if Lin plays it's because McHale doesn't know how to sub players and if Lin isn't playing it's because McHale doesn't trust him.

    As Bill Worrell would say, he can't even do wrong right in your eyes.

    Last I checked, we are the youngest team in NBA. We never had a veteran PG on our roster this year. What was your point once again?

    Your argument is a bit flawed I think

    1. Although 31.8% 3pters isn't great, guys like Goran is even WORSE at 31.2%. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4507


    2. 2.9 turnovers is not great but Harden gets alot more and has less assists


    So if Lin's #s are "abysmal", then Goran and Hardens is even worse

    I am a realist about Lin and I say NO to a trade. It is to early to even consider it. Lin is gradually putting his game together. And if he sharpens up a couple of aspects of his game he and Harden will make a great guard duo.

    If I am Lin, I would demand a trade. Why play under a coach who primary job is to destroy your confident.

    I'll admit McHale does have different standards (higher?) with the PG position for some reason, but Lin isn't helping himself either when he disappears for quarters at a time.

    I am okay with having Lin, but I am uncomfortable with him being the highest paid player on our roster.

    The coach doesn't seem know the game of guards very well, which I think is the reason why he doesn't feel comfortable to let his PG to facilitate an offense. I enjoy the fluidity of our offense during the first few minutes in the first quarter when our PG is doing his job, and then game quickly turns into a struggle when the coach starts to play the point for the team for the rest of the game.

    Beverley puts together a mean streak in the 4th and people are calling to trade Lin. Un-freaking-believable.

    Well next year he can be no better than tied for 2nd with Asik. Here's hoping we land another legit star and he and asik slip to tied for 3rd.

    McHale does have higher standards for the PG position, that much is obvious. But Lin isn't exactly doing himself a favor either.

    Lin's 3pt% is now 32.6, and is 34.3% if you throw out the first month due to rust/knee injury/weight loss
