Lin is def starting

 

[redd spyder]

they stole purp...we steal kidd?

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Lin would start, I think.

Also, Dallas was offering him the same deal so at least we didn't outbid ourselves. The number of years doesn't really matter much. We're capped lit until Chandler/Melo/Amar'e expire.

When I first saw it I thought Kidd was the biggest douche for it even though hes my favorite player ever but..it was a smart winning move.

Gotta love sports fans.

*when Kidd wasn't on team*

"Oh, what a DOUCHE!"

*Kidd signs*

"Smart winning move."

Haha just like the Mavs fan on the last page talking about " have fun with kidd" like he wouldnt fully support him coming back. Now if a sign and trade can be pulled off with Toney Douglas involved...*insert 'you ae not the father' gif*

I think he means that Lin is a back up type player.

This team will only go as far as Amare's back will take him, just have to hope he can play at a high level consistently.

Hopefully this season will serve as enough motivation considering how last season turned out, and how he ended it on a sour note.

 

[cdonwashisname]

This guy is also gonna help take Shump's defense to another level. It can go from great to Elite.

I'll be surprised if they use the 5 mil this offseason. What's the deal Humph?

And you gotta hope that a less condensed schedule makes it a little easier on his body.  Other side of that is that the torrid schedule screwed him up permanently.

Wish we could sign and trade to get Mayo or Ray at the 2 now.

Dudes is getting hype off a dude to mentor Lin. If that's what yall want hire Kidd to be an assistant coach.

Mentor

Oh.

I mean we could but I doubt we do. Just going off who has been mentioned we would not be able to get a big man like Camby or Hump unless it's for the vet min.

 

[me no pass]

@HowardBeckNYT
The Rockets have agreed to terms with Jeremy Lin, who intends to sign offer sheet, according to person briefed on talks. Terms unknown.

@WojYahooNBA
Terms are immediately unknown on Lin offer sheet, but plan has been to backload money in deal. New York has vowed to match any offer.

Morey is overrated

 

[eezyveezy20]

Supposedly 4 years, $30 mil............. Either way, we gotta do it :/

 

[sonoftony]

Let Lin walk away why over paid 35 mil. Sign Felton.

[mez 0ne]

Dolan won't let Lin walk, too much of a cash cow.

 

[|A-Man|]

Oh yeah, I'm all for trading for Dirk by the trade deadline this upcoming season. Anybody but Melo and Tyson they can have.

I wonder if Cuban would take Lin (and other pieces) for Dirk?
