If he's not playing hoop, he will be dead or in jail by next summer!

@RealGM: Jeremy Lin averaging 6.9 points on 22.2% shooting, 8.6 assists, 3.3 steals, 4.2 turnovers per 36 in preseason

 

[THE HCP]

@ESPNStatsInfo: King James has avg 27+ PPG, 7+ RPG and 6+ APG in 6 of his 9 seasons. Only 1 other player has done that 6x... the Big O (Oscar Robertson)

Jeremy Lin is another example of D'Antoni turning a nobody into a monster statistically

Would love to see him work with Lillard.

Making a ton of bank....... and I think after that 2 week run, the leagues scouts figured out his game. He will have a shitty season and they will regret not having Dragic and Lowry!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The player I really wanted in the 2nd round (or trading up into the 1st) was Jae Crowder and he's looking great for Dallas.

In the last five games he started to get significant p/t and he has produced:

15.6 PPG
5.4 RPG
2.8 SPG
49 FG%

I don't think they'll regret signing Lin one bit after they see consecutive sellouts, tons of sold merchandise, and millions of votes for him to be an all star. Knicks lost out on a TON of revenue.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Eric Bledsoe (a Neil Olshey draft pick) looking like Russell Westbrook II.

Eric Bledsoe was a player I coveted last season big time. Though, I'm glad we have Lillard!

Sounds like Sergio.

Preseason FAMS! And in other news Serge Ibaka is in the top 5 in scoring in the NBA.

 

[MickZagger]

Ex-Zag Robert Sacre looking solid for the Flakers.

 

[MickZagger]

Legitimate question:

Who starts at the PG in Sacto? Aaron Brooks, or Isiah Thomas?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Anthony Cater was waived.

Is he better than Price? He is better than Smith

heck, Karl is easily beter than Smith, that's not the problem - it's his frickin rookie contract

a big fat LOL as they traded Lowry and let Dragic go, Morey for worst GM of the yr?

 

[THE HCP]

I think the opposing scouts figured out Lin. Just like they did after Brandon Jennings first month in the league.

 

[crowTrobot]

austin rivers does a good pretzel imitation

 

[THE HCP]

JaVelle McGee makes $11M a year and comes off the bench in Denver!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Looks like the Soup Juggler's starting in CLE.

I heard the Lin signing was from the ownership side of things, not the actual basketball operations. I think Morey would have opted to keep Dragic if it were his call.

Now that there's no chance we draft Waiters, it's OK to drop that lame attempt at a nickname. Just sayin.

 

[THE HCP]

Hollinger

Rockets have now cut *six* players with guaranteed money -- Brockman, Livingston, Fisher, Forbes, Hayward, Johnson. But total only about $6M

 

[THE HCP]

Cleveland HAS to start Waiters....... they'd look like fools if they didn't!

 

[KingSpeed]

Nobody's figured out anybody. It is preseason. Lakers went 0-8. Don't judge Lin until he's playing games that mean something.

Normally I'd agree about the whole preseason thing, but he really slowed down the last games he played last season. The scouts figured his game out.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nobody's figured shit out. He slowed down because Melo came back and fucked everything up.

KingSpeed dropping knowledge!

Hey, OKC NEVER started Harden, and they don't look like...

Never mind.

 

[THE HCP]

STAT out 6 more weeks! That's why I didn't draft him today!
