Manu replacement imho

[hater]

Manu replacement. They are basically the same player at this point.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

People have to understand we need reserves now

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Think this indicates Mills (probably) or Joseph are gone

[RD2191]

People have to understand we need reserves now
We haven't lost Cojo or Mills yet, tbh

[BillMc]

Manu replacement imho

Yep. Lin, despite limited upside, actually would be a good Spurs. Smart and hardworking. As long as its cheap...

[BillMc]

Think this indicates Mills (probably) or Joseph are gone

Mills being in the LMA meeting makes me think he's unlikely to be gone. But stranger things have happened.

[look_at_g_shred]

This rumor started day 1 in FA

[dbestpro]

This would be a great Marco replacement. if you can't bring CoJo back, then you have a guy who can play PG, and SG. He would thrive in the Spurs system.

[baseline bum]

He's not coming here for the minimum and he's shit anyways.

[FkLA]

Has his limitations but he was born to be a Spur. Plays the right way. I'd welcome him aboard tbh.

[ironman2886]

They always have to throw the Spurs' name out there.

[spursparker9]

I still can't understand how he gained that insane Linsanity form in 2012

[NASpurs]

Better than Zombie Stoudemire I guess.

[RD2191]

Has his limitations but he was born to be a Spur. Plays the right way. I'd welcome him aboard tbh.
Fuck that, tbh. I don't want a bunch of Chinese player fans taking over this board.

[Jabba]

Koolaid_Man

[Russ]

Well, he's definitely "over himself."

[SilverSpur]

Would be a great back up/ roll player for us. Price has to be right.

[ironman2886]

Fuck that, tbh. I don't want a bunch of Chinese player fans taking over this board.

Good bench player, sometime starter. Houston was dumb to lose him.

[lmbebo]

Eh .... He's a guy who needs to handle the ball to be effective. Still has issues with turnovers. Don't think he's a great spot up shooter.

Would could do worse, but not my first choice.

He's Manu Gonibli

[lmbebo]

He's Manu Gonibli


He's anything but Manu. Manu has a much higher bball IQ. Better shooter, much better passer and defender.

He's not even close to old Manu.

Old Manu? What about new Manu? I'll give you better defender but that's about it. What good is a high bball IQ if you won't apply it to your limitations? Manu refuses to make the correct basketball play because he still believes he's "old Manu". Aside from his terrible decisions his shot selection has deteriorated. I truly believe he is one of the most intelligent players but he's letting his pride get in the way of his current level so the high IQ is meaningless.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ugh, please, no..

[south side spur]

I agree there's no need to sign Lin. But let's not pretend that he's a severe downgrade from Manu. I will say that Manu's ball handling is superior to Lin. Lin is weak with the basketball if he's not attacking.

[ohmwrecker]

This is just agent propaganda. Mills isn't going anywhere.

[DarrinS]

He's Manu Gonibli

No

[ceperez]

Lin not that athtletic, but he has excellent basketball IQ and you can't leave open in the 3point line. He could thrive in the Spurs offense.

I think if nobody offers him a decent salary, the guy is going to sign for the minimum.

[ceperez]

This is just agent propaganda. Mills isn't going anywhere.

Mills isn't really a PG.

Besides, Boris Diaw and Kyle Anderson are better PGs than Mills.

[Russo21]

I'd welcome Jeremy Rin to the team as we've lost Marco and possibly Manu. I think he is an American but we'd probably get a billion exta ching chong spurs fans with him here.

[ohmwrecker]

Mills isn't really a PG.

That was in response to this:

What's your point? Do you want Lin? Or, do you just want to be annoying?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I agree there's no need to sign Lin. But let's not pretend that he's a severe downgrade from Manu. I will say that Manu's ball handling is superior to Lin. Lin is weak with the basketball if he's not attacking.

Manu was a way better basketball player last year than Jeremy Lin period.

ESPN sources say Mavs firmly in mix for Jeremy Lin -- who broke into NBA as a Dallas summer leaguer -- but Lin can make more money elsewhere

[timtonymanu]

Rather bring back CoJo if that's possible.

[hooperflash]

I've been cool with him since Linsanity, he's handled it the right way.

[ElNono]

This is agent bait

[ElNono]

with LMA on board, the Spurs are going to be added into any deal scenario from here on out

[Mr. Body]

Lin is a good player. I don't get why teams can't learn to like him. Houston would have been better with him at least off the bench.

[crc21209]

Yeah give me Cojo instead :lol

[Mnky]

Hes a decent spot up shooter. Not sure what games people have been watching. Has played in garbage systems with garbage players. He would be a nice addition for the bench. Would definitely be abbetter playmaker than anyone we had last year off the bench besides Manu. Manu had a horrible year trying to be a playmaker tho. It's why the guy wants to retire, his body doesn't keep up with his mind anymore. Lin can pass good too

First I read about him this summer was he was waiting on Aldridge to check the spurs out. So he either wanted to play with him, or he wants money.

[Nathan89]

Lin would definitely be looking for a team with a guaranteed role for him.

[-21-]

I wouldn't mind having Lin on the team if we somehow lose Patty/Cojo/Manu.

[Beaverfuzz]

We haven't lost Cojo or Mills yet, tbh

CoJo is all but gone. Say no to Lin, pick up a D league scrub over Lin.

[Beaverfuzz]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 11m11 minutes ago

Fine with me. Just say no to Lin. OVERRATED even if he signs for the league minimum.

[Beaverfuzz]

Mills isn't really a PG.

Besides, Boris Diaw and Kyle Anderson are better PGs than Mills.

Anderson? He'll be lucky to make an NBA roster permanently.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lin is an average player that gets extra credit for being Asian, tbh, let's keep it real..

He's mostly useless without the ball, and his media/fanbase is a potential distraction, too..

Please, pass..

[Spur-Addict]

Do Not Want

[timtonymanu]

Fuck that, tbh. I don't want a bunch of Chinese player fans taking over this board.

:lol yeah Rapper is enough, tbh.

[south side spur]

Manu was a way better basketball player last year than Jeremy Lin period.
Look Im not a stat expert like most of yall but all I did was look up player efficiency and Lin was 11.9 Manu was 11.1. I'm sure people can really break down some numbers. I'm not but be my guest. I'm not living in the past with Manu and I'm not a Manu hater. I'm just a realist. Once again I don't want Lin either.

[milkyway21]

NO, pls

[Malik Hairston]

Cory Joseph that we saw earlier in the year when Parker was out > Lin, tbh..

[south side spur]

I want Cory to stay too. But a lot of people here seem to think he's gone for sure. I've been one of his biggest supporters because he plays defense and rebounds. I just wish he would take the same attitude with him on the offensive side. He's improved but his lack of confidence is frustrating.

[Marcus Bryant]

He's gone if they are to sign Aldridge outright. No cap space available.

[dbestpro]

Cory has much chance of staying with the Spurs as LMA does with Portland. in other words, he is gone. We cannot afford to keep him.

[jhfenton]

I like Lin. I've watched him play since he was at Harvard. I think he would be better in a time-limited, limited responsibility role.

But he's probably going to want more money and a bigger role than the Spurs can offer (2nd or 3rd PG depending on match ups).

jhfenton, Harvard '92

Yes. If I had to guess, other than the obligatory phone call (hey, would you take the min/room exception this year and get paid next year?) the idea was to give him some chunk of the cap space had Aldridge not agreed to sign.

[-21-]

Cory Joseph that we saw earlier in the year when Parker was out > Lin, tbh..

Why do you keep alternating between your two accounts? :lol

[Malik Hairston]

Didn't even realize, tbh:lol..I had this one saved in my browser..

[apalisoc_9]

lin is a shitty player tbh.

But wouldn't mind him seeing him DNP.. as a 15th man just to see TD start in next year All-star game tbh.

[ducks]

the question is do you think he better or worse then tp
