    They traded him because we were rebuilding this team after the Yao and Tracy experiment didnt pan out.

    Only if we also get Chris Smith. Yes, the Knicks guaranteed JR Smith's brother a contract just to keep him.

    I think they had better direction under Isiah.

    I keep clicking this thread thinking it's an Omer Asik trade thread.

    Trade Lin Obsession

    The fact that your post is ridiculously long and just rambles on and on and on about every crazy makes no sense random trade you've come up with all centering around Lin. He's the best all around PG we've got and is a def 6th man of the year candidate. Let it go.

    I think it comes down to the face that Lin only Fans don want to be associated with the Rockets or with Clutch Fans anymore Lol. I even heard some Lin's fans saying the wouldn't mind a trade to the Bucks. That's how sour the relation has turned. Can't say I'm gonna miss the LOFs but when they leave Clutch is gonna lose a LOT of traffic. It's for the best though

    You know JLin is back when a thread on Clutchfans is started and in less than 24 hours that thread is 14 pages long.

    Exactly. Kind of senseless to try to get rid of a sixth man candidate and who is one of only two playmakers on the team. Also, we don't know if Bev is the long-term solution for this team at starting PG. Bev is shooting 39% from the field and 33% from three, and those numbers continue to go down. Harden has to do too much on the offensive end and coupled with his newfound defensive energy, may tire as the season goes on. Bev can't playmake, he can't shoot straight, and whenever he's in the lineup Harden has to take like 20 shots and be the primary playmaker. That might not work long-term. Just in case...keep Lin.

    Lin needs to go. Why wasting money on him. First it was Douglas now it is Beverley. I am sure when Beverley is gone, AB will be push in the spot.

    I'm sorry you don't get it. It's not about Lin for me. I like Lin a lot. I think he's a great character guy in addition to his obviously skills on the basketball court. I even think highly enough of him that I think he should be a starting point guard running his team in the NBA.

    But it's not about that. This is thread is about what I see happening in the near future to this TEAM. It's about what I think Morey is doing.

    Make.your.prediction.

    1st returns in the ASG are in Lin more popular than Harden. Obviously clutchfans.net don't have the only LOFS in the world. Truth is in the #'s. Unless Les want to give up all the asian $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    I think that's the reason Les signed Lin in the 1st place...for his Asian Dollars $$$, for his marketability. If Lin plays well..its an added bonus!!!

    We've seen this type of posting behavior before...

    It didn't end well.

    Thankfully not all traffic is created equally. If Lin does get traded, it will be awesome to lose that garbage disguising itself as "traffic"

    Clutch or Mod, please merge this thread into the Random Trade Thread!

    No sense to have its own thread. All trade discussion is a prediction unless it officially announced. This distinction before prediction and discussion is purely non-sense!

    I've come to despise LOHs even more, mostly because they delude themselves into thinking they're obviously right in all things Lin and show utter disdain for LOFs or worse, anyone who offers any bit of positive outlook on Lin (as such a person would then be labeled a LOF). At least I can see a LOF coming a mile away, chuckle at the ridiculous postulations and ignore it. LOHs? They're just the other side of the same coin, but honestly don't view themselves as such while disguising their mis-characterizations of fact as "rational thought". It's like seeing a hippie on one end, spouting crazy talk and mainline tea party members on the other end :p

    BUT hey, if LOFs leave, LOHs will calm down on their rhetoric, so I guess then everybody wins, if not for the right reasons lol.
