At least Howard had one deep playoff run. Melo is a perennial first round exit.

I would say Laker fans should be happy. Not just for basketball reasons, but because there is no one worth spending their money on this year outside of Lebron. Get some assets with your cap space, take on expiring contracts and hopefully get some talented players (which Lin is). It's a very good move.

I would push if I was MIA to get LA to accept Lin/Asik + pick in a three team deal S&T where MIA gets a pick or two from HOU, LA gets Asik/Lin+pick from HOU and HOU gets Bosh.

& then just laid down for the Lakers. Sure, I appreciated it, but, why, why do that? Well, I'll tell you why,,,because he's a loser. He won't compete at resistance. He waits this spring until it's 0-2 before he'll endeavor. That we couldn't see this and begged him, that we then sniffed after Anthony is humiliating. Having somebody because there is nobody else isn't a sound reason, business or personal. Ever.

They can't contract wise. They can either stretch his contract or eat it.

I doubt Houston wants to take on any salary, so this means the Lakers are going to have to give up drafts picks most likely or the rights to their second round pick in Clarkson.

[DPG21920]

But without being exact, LA currently has about 24M in cap space (give or take a couple millions). If they stretch Nash, they get about 5-6 more (so roughly 28-30M).

Taking on Lin removes 8M from that. So they will have 20-22M left for whomever. They can maybe do Pau for 10M, Ariza for 10M and go with Lin/Kobe/Ariza/Randle/Pau? Lot's of options.

Why would they want them (and their $30 Million in salary) over the draft picks? Especially the high pick from New Orleans?

Because they can likely still get a pick from HOU while not completely being awful this year. Also, I can see LA wanting both too. LA still gets a pick for taking them off the books and allowing for the S&T, gets actual serviceable players for the year (ASIK/LIN) (which only counts as 16M in cap space and allows LA to still re-sign Pau or another FA) and it does nothing to ruin their flexibility for next year. Lin/Kobe/FA/Pau/Asik + gaining a pick and cap flexibility next year?

Not saying it's likely, but I can see them wanting that.

I agree they don't have to renege, was just outlining some scenarios where they might have to.

Rockets offense is not point guard friendly or necessary. Everyone handles the rock and plays the Horns offense. It's predicated on swing the ball from side to side and hitting an open man or cutter.

Tries to be cute with HOU. I thought Dallas should have engaged HOU in Lin talks. They need a PG, would still have cap space and could have locked up say Lin+Ariza guaranteed (while getting a pick probably). Instead, HOU gets Bosh (more than likely) & Parsons. Dallas has no PG that is good, has no guarantee from a FA and Melo/Bron/Parsons/Hayward are all off the market (and since they have to wait the 3 days other FA's may be gone too). Backfire possibly!

Why? Sure, value wise selling a late first (the pick from HOU next year) for 9M (Nash's deal) is good value, but LA needs picks and they print money. They will have a ton of cap space next year and this year (plus they can get more if the strech Nash's deal) if they don't sign anyone. If they want to sign someone, they have the cap space with Nash this year and he's off the books for free next year.

The opposite is probably true.

Be a terrible move. Under the new CBA, first round draft picks that can potentially turn into solid players you pay with cheap rookie contracts and then extend with Bird rights (which will allow you to go over the cap) are valued assets now.

I wouldn't say that at all (the full rebuilding mode). They apparently have struck out on Melo (and being willing to spend on Melo/Kobe at that price does not scream rebuild). Even with Lin (who actually has on the court value), they can still have about 20M in cap space (if they stretch Nash). They still have options if they want to become better this year even with Lin.

They could decide to go into rebuild mode, but Lin doesn't do a whole lot to signal anything IMO. I think LA saw a chance to get better this year (Lin the player) while using their cap space to get assets (Lin the contract + a first round pick). With no Melo (and they can still get Melo 20M with Lin by stretching Nash), there are still options.

Well, if you think Lin is a good player, then I see your point. If they go after Lance Stephenson, then it's obvious they're making a Hail Mary attempt to try to build a playoff team and keep Kobe happy (we know Kobe isn't on board with a rebuild).

That said, Lin is a very slightly above-average PG who's been riding his "Linsanity" hype for 3 seasons now. Of course Lin's stats look nice under D'Antoni and the Rockets' high paced offense, but under Byron Scott, Lin will be exposed. If Mitch is as smart as everyone tells me he is, I can't fathom how sees Lin as a part of a legitimate playoff core.

He'll play one season in LA and then be gone next year.

Of course Lin's stats look nice under D'Antoni and the Rockets' high paced offense, but under Byron Scott, Lin will be exposed. If Mitch is as smart as everyone tells me he is, I can't fathom how sees Lin as a part of a legitimate playoff core.

He'll play one season in LA and then be gone next year.

We're not trying to appease Kobe. He no longer demands to be appeased. He's assumed Emeritus status. We're floating on our back in the middle of the ocean---waiting.

[RsxPiimp]

Why?

Nash is a toxic asset aside from his expiring contract, but I can't see a team giving up picks for him or the Lakers taking back a multi-year salary for a mediocre player since they want to retain maximum cap flexibility going forward.


It would have to be a straight salary dump with the Lakers taking an equal salary with more years for a player that's more serviceable than Steve, and frankly I'd rather see a moving body out there Nash taking $9 million in a suit.


Love is off the table. Lakers have 0 Free Agency plans next season. 2016 is the year their anticipating in getting a Superstar, so cap flexibility isn't a big deal considering Kobe's off the books.

It's not that. It just that the overall move with Lin doesn't detract from any specific move IMO. Lin is expiring. If he sucks, he's gone. If he's a good fit they sign him. They may want to go for things and by trading Nash or stretching him, they still have a lot of cap space was the point.

And why?

Lakers best move next year is to be as shitty as possible and hope to grab a top 5 pick.

Trading Nash for a moving body probably puts you at around a 30-35 win team, depending on how Kobe bounces back. Next season's "goal" should be under 25 wins.

I see that, but management doesn't. Tanking and being worst as possible is not going to be an option. They will try to grab a playoff spot and fail, but they're not going to tell their season ticket holders, being shitty is the option going forward thought its the most logical.

How little you know. Lin's stats in terms of efficiency were very good with the Rockets but his offensive output went down with McHale's Horn's offense. McHale's offense was hand the ball to Harden and stand around and watch. Try to dump the ball into the bigs if you can. Portland said after they lost to the Spurs that they always knew where the ball was going with the Rockets but not so with the Spurs. So with a better offensive system, more pick and roll, I expect Lin's numbers to go up.

[Spur-Addict]

That ain't what I mean't, but, you knew that. Can't you be serious just once?

I am capable, it just takes so much effort. But, losing the bird rights isn't an end all be all if I'm not mistaken so he could be right back in the saddle with 48.5.

Ok first here's Harden's stats

FG% .456 3p% .366 2PA% .515 FT% .866 AST 446 STL 115 TO 265 PTS 1851 Min Played 2777 So lets look at his stats on a per 36 min

FG% .456 3p% .366 2PA% .515 FT% .866 AST 5.8 STL 1.5 TO 3.44 PTS 24 Min Played 36

Ok, Assist to TO ratio .55 (CP3's number is 4.57)

Now Jeremey Lin


FG% .446 3p% .358 2PA% .492 FT% .823 AST 294 STL 68 TO 176 PTS 1851 Min Played 2054 So lets look at his stats on a per 36 min


FG% .446 3p% .358 2PA% .492 FT% .823 AST 5.14 STL 1.19 TO 3.08 PTS 15.6 Min Played 36 min

Assist to TO ratio 1.66 Suprise - Better than Harden's

Now in the stats that matter, FG%, FT%, AST to TO ratio, PTS Scored Harden is better in every stat except Assist to TO ratio. Granted 1.55 is nothing to write home about but Lin's FG%, FT%, 3PT% is just a hair under Hardens but not by much. I would argue that Lin deferred to Harden most of the time but is also capable of putting up big numbers like Harden. He's not as good as Harden but Harden is one of the best players in the league. Point is, there is not a lot of difference here statistically.

Jeremy will be fine on the Lakers

First of all, let me introduce myself by saying I am a Lin fan and I am glad that he got out of the poisonous Rockets organization and joins a great one in Lakers. I think the Lakers benefit in the following ways:

1. Lin is a top 5 PG when used properly and an all star in the making. This will relive Kobe of the pressure and double teams.

2. Lin is a top top IQ player who can run the team. Kobe can now play off the ball more and Lin is capable of being first option when Kobe sits or is shooting bad.

3. Lin and Kobe makes a great backcourt - best in NBA. Top 5 PG with a top 3 SG.

4. Lin can play the 2 and the 3 if need be. Esp the 2.

IMHO Lin is a top talent and can put up season averages of 25/9/4/2 on 48% from the field, 39% 3 point and 87% from free throw line'

That is definitely a top 5 PG

Only PG's who are better right now are Curry, WestBrook and CP3. Lin is on par with Rose athletically, and better than the likes of Rondo, Irving, Lowry, Conley etc
