Mark Deeks: Houston trying to dump Jeremy Lin, prioritize salary over basketball assets

24 pages in a day based off a tweet..

Just because its about Jeremy Lin.

 

Voted the most popular player on Clutchfans for no reason.:grin:

 

This man, Sham, runs the website that the best posters on this BBS get their salary info from, and a bunch of n00bs are sitting here bashing him? Maybe your join date shows your bias.

 

Clutch should appoint a team of mods to blast fools over stuff like this... it gets old.

Bashing people in complete ignorance.

 

I didn't see much bashing, people just asked him to clarify what he said in the tweets that caused a lot of confusions last night.

 

clutch just took to twitter defending him.... ... hopefully this shuts people up.

MARK DEEKS YOU ENTERED THE BULL PIN MOTHER TRUCKER!

 

haha...if that was in sarcasm....good one. If you were serious...oh the irony. Bashing people in complete ignorance. Kinda like what some people do to Lin...and every player on the rockets every season. Just like all the other sports forums of other teams. That being said, everyone knows you move everyone but Harden, and this guy wouldnt post something like that if he didn't have some kind of reputation. Hes posting about something legitimate, and isnt backing down. Props.

 

Doc Rocket gets hated on because he posts as if he were a 15 year old, WoW player hopped up on Mountain Dew instead of an actual human being. Now I'm guilty of the same on occasion but that's because I'm immature, not because I have some sort of complex.

 

I don't have a problem with Sham or Marks tweet about Lin soo whatever as long as my Rockets team is making moves to get better ...the only people that a problem with this is Lins fans im guessing lol

 

Mark,

Did your source for this tweet or some other source tell you that the Rockets said Beverley was better?

 

well I was talking about the people bashing deeks... I am actually a big lin supporter.

but if its true its true...and I can see them moving lin.

If you can get the best bang for your buck for lin and you believe in T-rob you move what makes the team better.

so in away you were right and wrong about why i wrote that lol :grin:

 

haha...thats why I think it is matt bullard!!! lol

 

Sham, many of those with 2012 or 2013 join dates should be ignored. Not all, but many.

 

that's would be FUNNY as hell !

 

Totally agree. This Mark guy used Lin's name to spread this rumor the whole day. Even f it's true, he sucked himself and deserved to be criticized for it. Learn some lesson.

 

While I like both players, if it's a choice between Lin or Asik, for the $8.3M in cap space, I would keep Asik. He is much more valuable and irreplaceable on the court than Lin. Not to mention, if Dwight wants to play next to Asik, you let him.

PS-Sham/Mark pretty classy to come on here and clarify. Use your ignore function wisely. It gets pretty evident pretty quickly who needs to be ignored.

 

To make you unhappy, I'll stay here forever. Got it. Maybe you should leave.

 

The owner of Clutchfans just complimented him and suggested we all spread reputation points to him. "Learn some lesson."

I'll re-post what Carl had to say about him last night, just so everyone is sure to see it.

I totally believe that another team source would send a random received call about lin to a specific blogger who did not inquire about it. Can't we all remember that time when a gm told us that yao would never play another game. didn't the source send his info to "the dreamshake" blog? no? that's not how it happened? =/

you'd be a fool to believe that lin isn't available for a trade. everyone is available when you're in the position to get a future hall of famer.

My problem with the tweet is why wasn't there more 'inside info' about the other gazillion trades that took place last night. I'm sure the trusted source must have gotten other calls than from daryl. The tweet was calculated, and lin being the polarizing figure he is was part of the equation. cleverly done though.
