Well that's the max that teams can offer him. It remains to be seen if he'll get that much. He doesn't seem to be doing so well now that scouts and teams have figured out his tendencies.
Jeremy Lin: Asian American, Harvard Grad... NBA great?

Teams took a few games to adjust to him, presumably he'll take a few games to adjust back. He's not playing as well now, but he's not awful, and with all the other teams gunning for him, that could leave blindspots for his teammates to exploit so he has value as a big target if nothing else.
I'd say his games against Miami and Boston were awful.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
I have tickets for Linsanity next week.
Against the SAT cheater?

Yep.
I have a feeling Carlos Boozer will somehow find a way to cost the game for the Bulls.
Nice! I was tempted to go to the Mavs game tonight, but the tickets were too much. Would have been nice to see Chandler get his ring in person though. oh well.
Also Rose is probably going to decimate Lin
Derrick Rose IIRC

now that the lintards are gone, i really hope jeremy excels in the nba.
my hope is the knicks drop him and lakers sign him with the mini MLE.

Rodrigue is only paid $1.2 million, if he can outplay future-$5 million Jeremy, he deserves at least $5 million when his contract is up.
I'm sure he will from someone. Probably not the Mavs though since he always ends up on the bench.
The Knicks need to get rid of the Melo cancer if they're going to keep Lin.

Ironic, considering Rondo put up one of the GOAT statistical games by a pg against him on Sunday.
Knicks and Lin are playing crappy. Lin came out and beat a bunch of teams but now all of them are prepared for him, I guess that's what separates good players from great, whether they can figure out how to get things done despite increased pressure and changing conditions. The other person I like on this team is Baron Davis, always been a fan, he is a lot more steady and can get chemistry going with his unit. Lin, Melo, Stoudemire, and the other guys have no chemistry at all and Lin is having a hard time figuring out what to do. It was a lot more fun watching this team when they didn't have any of their major players. Also you people are still complaining about his sudden burst of fame, lol.
Bobcats don't want him. Take that to the left.
It was no fluke. Guys come out of nowhere and play great for short stints all the time. He just blew up because a) Asian American b) NY c) great underdog story. He's still a decent player, which I've always said, but all that best point guard in the league nonsense? Naw. Nowhere close.

Damn near everyone in NBAGAF called that shit... We're still waiting for Demar Derozan's breakout season though.

If you knew anything about basketball you wouldn't be saying that. Lin KILLED IT with intangibles in that game.
Definitely the most humble player on the court
He needs to learn how to play point guard without the ball in his hands, how to not dribble into traffic with no plan, how to defend anyone, how to see traps coming before he's pushed back to half-court, how to freeze out Melo and JR, how to throw up a bad shot or give to someone else instead of outright giving the ball away, and also go left.
Eek...that too.

I'm sure Rondo is praying he gets killed with Lin's "intangibles" next time they play again.

Who was saying that seriously? I think you guys all got trolled and you're still salty about it.
Go through this thread and get back to me. Trust, we were laughing waaaay harder at this thread than anyone outside of the NBA thread really know or appreciate.
So humble.

We'll see who's laughing when Lin is the GOAT.

I was reading this thread and I think the NBA-gaffers were trolled as much as they were trolling, actually. Though come to think of it, my usual rule of thumb is that people who say idiotic things on the internet are almost definitely just idiots, not trolls, so I dunno.
BTW, if Carmelo gets just six points and people blame the loss on Lin, he really has become the most important guy on the team.

Read this thread and the February NBA thread which Burns through 20pgs a day.
Good luck.

I predicted Jeremy Lin would settle into being a decent rotation guard, spot starter type. People who were ready to throw him with the great, let alone elite PGs in the league were crazy. It was a bunch of things coming together for a 7 game stretch. Lightning in a bottle.

They are playing the Spurs today, I think. The Spurs are still a good team right? Don't see how the Knicks have any shot at winning unless they have some good luck, guess it will be three losses in a row.
I'll be there! Hopefully it won't be a blowout. The bf roots for the Spurs though, so it wouldn't really matter to us which way it goes :lol

You're pretty good at predicting things.
They got a good thumping. I didn't watch so I'm not sure how Baron played in comparison to Lin but I'm presuming neither did all that well. Honestly I'd say just go back to the old starting line up and get rid of Melo and Stoudemire. I still don't think they'd win against any major teams, they may even do worse, but at least I'd enjoy watching them play. Right now these guys have no chemistry.

he's not even the best pg in new york.
No arguments from me. I'm the guy who thinks that if he's still in the league 6 years from now playing as a solid role player, then he can be considered a success story.
