    Last year and earlier this year when Bev & Lin were healthy AB never played. Is that going to be the case again starting tomorrow with Bev's return? If so, that is a shame as AB is the only true outside shooting threat we have (in my opinion). It was fun while it lasted.....

    Given the fact that our points guards can't stay healthy this year, I doubt it

    Trades and/or injuries means its likely he'll still get on the floor at some point.

    Bev isn't terrible from 3 but it will hurt our 3 pt %.

    I am stoked to get Bev back though.

    He should get some burn as part of a 2 PG line up. He remains our best 3 point shooter.

    If Lin doesn't get out of his funk he might be the one doing a lot more sitting.

    The real question is whether Lin is done.

    With Garcia out, I hope AB and Lin play together tomorrow of the bench.

    Moreys plan since this summer has been to trade LIN to help with 3rd star or cap space, hint Lin, brooks, bev and drafting Canaan, PG is our deepest position... Something will happen.

    They will find time for AB at Lin's expense.

    As stated above, i think this is more of a concern for lin than brooks. Brooks has been contributing closely, sometimes more than lin as of recently. So i think ultimately his minutes will cut into Lins minutes.

    the poison pills of asik and lin is coming back to bite us in the ass. no one is willing to pay them 15 million for that 3rd year. really like AB playing for us and would suck if he would not get playing time anymore, but with no garcia, lin and ab could play together for now

    this board is too reactionary. brooks this month, we all think is palying real well. he's doing 7 ppg on 54-55 ts in 20 mpg with 2 assists. i understand lin has been playing like garbage lately, but imo i'll wait and see a bit more how he does in the bench role again where he played real well off the bench - especialy with bev in the start of the 2nd quarter. he was doing 13 ppg in 27 mpg when he was comin off the bench. patience is the key. cuz let's be honest, if lin started doing 7 ppg and 2 apg in 20 mpg on 36/40...we'd all be lookin to cut his head off, because we know he can do better. for brooks, it's solid, because it's around what we expect. that's the diff. patience.

    saying that, lin is expendable, but meh. call me a whatever, but i'd like to see lin off the bench opposed to brooks.

    since we don't have a backup two guard brooks and lin would probably come off the bench together.

    I like the Bev/Lin combo better. Just plug in Brooks for whoever is having a bad night.
