This ain't the euroleague. Beverley's going to get popped early and often. OKC already owes beverley (and the rockets) one, and I guarantee it won't be a slap on the wrist. Beverley's "style" puts everyone on his team at risk for retaliation.
No offense, but this is dumb. That's not how NBA basketball works. You do what coach tells you to do. A NBA coach's job is not to make his players as happy as possible but to structure the team to win. Lin has not requested a trade nor made any signs that he is unhappy with his role on the team. And, just for the record...Lin's style of play off the bench works great inside the second unit. It's a perfect fit. Even LOF's are happy. Who's complaining?
