    Not necessarily, but maybe he is just waiting for the dust to settle just in case. I actually think Lin may be a good fit for this team.

    Yeah, I wouldn't be mad if Lin was still our starting point guard come October.

    Hopefully his three point shooting stays the way it was in the second half of the season, but he also needs to have some confidence.

    He looked REALLY shaky against Westbrook in the playoffs even before his injury.

    Man, if you think about it, we have to thank Cuban; his vetoed trade of Paul to the Lakers would have gave us Pau and sent K-Mart elsewhere. Thanks to him, we wouldn't have got Harden nor Dwight! Thanks Cuban!

    I wonder why I'm the only one to seem that we already have a big 3 w/ Harden, Parsons and Howard *shrugs*

    Sam amico is NOT a reliable source. Never has been right. Amick is the reliable one.

    I'm thinking like 18 to 20. Max is in the low 20s, IIRC. Back in the TMac-yap era, we would get about 13 to 15. Would be more for this team.

    Magic Johnson, always the classiest Laker. The rest of these guys are such little b****es, it's embarrassing.

    Annnnnnd Shaq moved to Miami to get away from Kobe.

    Population 2,145,000 > Population 408,750.

    What a stupid thing to say.

    Edit: I guess his San Antonio-born-n-raised jealousy rears its ugly head. LOL

    It's ridiculous how oblivious and arrogant some of these guys are. A blind squirrel could see that we are much more likely to win a championship in the upcoming years than the Lakers are. Just because it's LA and just because it's the Lakers doesn't mean anything if your team sucks. Dwight ultimately decided he wanted a ring and that we gave him the best chance, so he chose us. Crazy to see people like Shaq dogging him for that. Dwight's doing what is best for him. So dog him all you want, it won't stop Howard and the Rockets from contending for years to come.

    Not small. Rockets were one of the highest drawing away teams last year. Imagine this year.
