The Lowry-Dragic vs. Lin Tracking Thread

Regardless, I have to believe that most people would agree that a rotation of Dragic, Lin and Harden in our backcourt would be an upgrade over Bev, Lin and Harden (and i really like Bev).

 

Fixed.

 

yeah that's nice but highly unlikely.

 

I don't think he is a Lin fan. He is likely just trolling people.

 

I would like to keep current roster as it is, thank you very much.

 

If we had Dragic instead of Lin, we would be debating whether Dragic fit the second unit better than Beverley. Only the threads would be a lot shorter.

 

Comprehensive solution:

Lin/Beverley/Brooks/Canaan for rights to Smush Parker.

Thank me later.

 

so you would give up our defense specialist\3 pt shooter on a salary less than 1 mill and terrence jones on rookie contract + cash... for a 27 year old slasher/shooter who averaged roughly the same as lin with a 8mill/year/3 years price tag? please....

 

That's very interesting. I wonder who would've been the starter between Lowry and Bev.

 

Six games into the season, Lin still leads this group of PGs.

After three good games, Jeremy Lin has improved his PER to 19.21, which is the highest in his career. And among all the PGs, he ranks the 13th, another all time high for him. Doran Dragic is day-to-day now.

Thanks for update, keep it up

 

People need to let this thread die. At this point Lin is what we have. No point in worrying about others.

 

It's a good thread for it's historical value. Add to the fact you get an actual picture how each player has trended since the thread started.

 

When Lin has a few bad games people will bump this thread to bash him and it goes on and on and on.

 

Close this thread. Lin is better than Dragic and much better than Lowry who has been playing average

 

I wish that were the case, but sadly we have the worst of the three.

 

Good work. Lin did average PER of 20 in 2011-2012 season, and his PER is close to 30 during the height of linsanity. So he's playing very well, but not his career high(just pointing out).

 

You still think so? This season so far, Lin is clearly the best among the three. You may say it's small sample size.

 

It's a small sample size.

You knew that post was coming didn't you?
