Jerryd Bayless averaged 30 PPG in the summer league. That worked out great.
Putting any kind of value into some dudes first summer league game is whack.

how to nail the white women
Who needs basic fundamental basketball skills when you got
SWAG
It's one thing to overvalue a guy just because he dominates in the SL.
It's another thing when they don't even look serviceable against this sorry level of competition.

all in the second half, but I guess that's when it counts
Qyntel Woods averaged 27.
Like what the what!! I'd like to know if the guy who signed JJs contract was drunk? Like did kobe walk into the room and leave after signing the contract? First time i've seen them lined up like that.....I always thought gaf was just playing a meme. HMy god. All this cap space. We are free at last! (Farmar was bought out)
On the other hand…

Bayless put up good numbers (I only followed him in fantasy) while Calderon was out last season.

All of Rivers' struggles should probably be looked at since there's a chance he's not even an NBA player despite being a top ten pick. Terrible defender and passer + the possible inability to score due to his terrible jumpshot form and his poor.
Shit, I can't blame him.
Man, that would have been a weird convo, though. "You want to learn how to bang women like your mom?"
Fuck real points, how many SWAG points does he have?
Leonard looked good. He double-doubled on only 4 shots and hit 8/10 from the stripe. 3 blocks too and he looks athletic as hell. He's going to foul out a lot early on.
Barton looked good too. Guy needs to eat more but he looked rotation worthy. Nice defense and really vocal/good teammate type.
Pretty sure you'll see some hyperbole on Blazersedge.

If the report that Marc Berman just released is true, Knicks didn't screw Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin's new agent screwed Jeremy Lin.
also the reason on the radio silence on Knicks FO:

Screwed him by drowning him in money?

So Berman's "scout" is James Dolan I take it
How do you screw Jeremy Lin by getting him more guaranteed money?
Secretly flew? LOL! How do you secretly fly somewhere? Was the government involved? Did he use Wonder Woman's invisible jet?

From what I'm getting, apparently after the 1st offer came in (5/5/9/9 option) his new agent told Lin to go back to Houston and ask for a new contract due to the Knicks saying "they'll match any offer". Lin wanted to stay in NY but agreed, that's apparently where the 2nd contract (5/5.2/14.9) )came from. It wasn't Morey being a "genius", it was his agent being an agent. Apparently, that made James Dolan angry and now Knicks FO is debating whether to bring Lin back... nothing will happen until the Felton trade is finalized.
5/5/9/9
5/5.2/14.9
You do the math.
Oh no the money part isn't the screwjob, it's the other thing - using Houston to drive up his value, fully expecting the Knicks to match. If that's Lin doing it, I'm sorry but he comes off as kinda greedy.
Lin wanted to stay in NY (so he says). Why go back and risk that? And more money... which is more?

Lin had a couple of weeks worth of good games, he should do everything he can to get paid now.

Felton was the worst starting PG in the NBA by far last season, but maybe these scouts who may or may not be real are on the money.
Sounds more like he wanted out of that clown franchise.

Wait a minute. Failton brought us the Euroleague Championship game MVP and the Knicks are going to pay Jeffries' salary?
Olshey is a God.
Woodson said they'd match it up to a billion dollars. It wasn't a state secret on their intent. Now if HOU breached some sort of league etiquette then shame on The Wizard. It was definitely strange for him to redo the offer. Heck I'm still not convinced the Knicks won't match, though it sure seems like Berman is out doing their hatchet work to prepare the fans for them not to re-sign him
He's still playing overseas!
He actually might've been decent but had Mike Vickish off-court shit happen RIGHT after his awesome summer.

The Knicks are really whining about the Rockets upping their offer? They didnt have to do any spy shit to figure out they had to increase if they wanted him, all they had to do was turn on ESPN and listen to the quotes about how the Knicks were yapping were going to match and how he was already the starting PG next year.
That article is so utterly ridiculous. Really seems like Dolan is paying him off.
The Knicks let Lin get his fair market value and it looks like they got burned. All these sour grapes after the fact is ridiculous. Makes the franchise look like amateur hour.

Except the relationship between the Post and Dolan is extremely toxic in NY. Keep speculating doe!
Fair market value...

apparently dolan really likes to hold grudges too so if hes gonna be a bitch and let his emotions dictate important franchise decisions, i hope his fucking companies all tank. i still think hell match though, despite everything. however, melo and jr just caused a shit load of locker room trouble now.
i dont blame lin for trying to get as much cake as possible. you kind of encourage that when you and your personnel continue to scream WE WILL MATCH WHATEVER over and over again.
that berman article is LOL. wow.

Hey Lin's no fool, dude patented the name LINSANITY in the offseason and he'll make a bundle himself. He'll do well off the court.
All I'm saying is the Knicks are considering letting him go, but won't say jack until Felton is signed.
Post is sensational but Berman is no hack (unlike other Post guys). He's one of the few writers I trust on that rag, LOL-worthy verbiage aside.

I'm pretty sure Lin is guessing that he can make more than $3 million three years from now. Not sure arguing that Lin's agent screwed him by getting his client $8.4 million a year instead of $7 million makes the Knicks or Knicks' fans seem rational.

Nick Young future.
He actually did those numbers over the opening games spanning 10 and jan 11 while playing with amare.

November 17 10

Where does 3 million come from? Also would you rather make 18+ million over 2 years, or 14.9 over one?
The screwed comment comes from the understanding that he expected to stay in NY, and now that's in question. He's never said anything otherwise.

Like you can say whatever you want about Lin not being real but pretending like he didn't actually have a solid season last year is ridiculous.
It ridiculous for the Knicks to say that the last year of Lin's contract would cost them $35M+ in tax. The Knicks would have to pay so much tax because of all the max contracts they've already given out. Melo and Amare contributed much more to the tax penalty than any contract Lin could've been given.
$25 million guaranteed vs $19 million guaranteed.
He just needs to get a $3 million contract (or more) in year 4 and he'll make more money than the 1st offer.
