    I would like to be the first poster here on the history of clutchfans to introduce, use the phrase

    "D-Link Super Pack" for the incoming DH12 and Lin combo.

    Of course I can't trademark it for obvious reasons...:grin:

    Nate Taylor @ ByNateTaylor 33m
    Tony Dutt, the agent for Raymond Felton, says
    he expects Felton to start for the Knicks when
    the season begins.

    Nate Taylor @ ByNateTaylor 29m
    Tony Dutt: “I can say this: My gut is with, or
    without Jeremy, I think Raymond is the better
    point guard."

    Nate Taylor @ ByNateTaylor 27m
    Dutt on if Lin stays with Knicks: "I think at the
    end of the day, Raymond will be the starter
    regardless.”

    Has the league made an official statement of when the deadline is yet? I don't want it to go past tomorrow night & we think Lin is a Rocket and then Stern gives them one more day or some trash like that on Wednesday.

    From a financial stand point it wouldn't be too difficult ... if Linsanity continues .

    If Lin falters it could be a nightmare.

    Interesting. All the reports were people have gone on record about the Knicks not matching Lin have come from Fatty Felton and his agent.

    Yeah Tony, I am sure that's how that will go - NYK will pay Lin 25 mil to ride the pine while Felton starts.

    In fact, if they match, that's what I HOPE they do!

    You Go Ray!

    AB signs with Sacramento.

    Any chance his agent got RELIABLE info that NY was in fact NOT matching?

    Slim pickings out there now. Lin or else.....?

    Sessions, Felton, even Patty Mills all gone. Now AB.

    Hopefully Morey has his eyes on a Lowry type who's a backup right now that he could go after. Looking at rosters, Memphis seems to be loaded there again. Conley, Selby, Bayless, Wroten and even Pargo.

    Hate to have to roll with Machado, Fortson and Livingston.

    Agent Zero anyone? lol...

    I can run the point better then Fortson can..lol. If Machado polishes up, I wouldn't mind Lin and him handling PG.

    Not suggesting this at all, just wondering how any of you think Lin would fare as a SG?

    People forgetting about Douglas. While he may not be a true PG, with guys like Parsons (maybe?) and R. White (?), a guy who can play D and hit a few open 3's might be all we need. Not to mention he's played meaningful NBA minutes. The FO instantly pegged him as a keeper.

    Umm... you do know that Kevin Martin was our starting shooting guard for the last few years? It's nothing new. Jeremy Lin is an average defender, which makes him 10 times the defender Martin is.

    True. Slipped my mind (and it shouldn't have as I even have him as the backup for us on my 2K rosters that I've been keeping updated...LOL)
