Not calling you one of those racist yahoos, but you sure didnt think much of Lin and made your negative opinion known during his signing. However at least you backed up your opinion with statistics and facts and not blind vitriol that is the main point in common among racist Lin haters.

You dont believe in Lin? That's fine, you got your reasons backed by stats and i can respect that. A pity i cant throw in your face how Lin blew your preseason opinions out of water, but at least i have a good leg to stand on in saying that if Lin were healthy he'd have put up excellent stats. Lin's efficiency has been great and if he can keep it while increasing his minutes, then my prediction isnt that farfetched at all. DLo's gonna help ALOT in Lin upping his game, and vice versa.


I don't think that anyone on here has been racist regarding Lin, but I am just going from my perspective so I can't speak for what you may have picked up on. I also recognize that people downplay or talk **** about Lin (not anyone on here that I have seen though) because he's asian, which is garbage and i'd be one of the 1st on here to drag someone over that. Lin is a Net, he plays hard, he conducts himself like a professional. I hope he stays here for awhile. He's one of my favorite players on the team.

I guess Marks just wants to cripple another team's cap? they're obviously going to match.

I hate to be that guy but...

Indiana loses PG, Chicago loses Butler, Atlanta loses D12. Lowry, Millsap, Melo all are potentially heading West.

Let's see what the marksman does. We could get a few more Western conference talents.

Man if Hayward stays west, the east can be so bad that we have a shot at an 8 seed. Let's see if this changes how marks operates

D'angelo could run away with an all-star selection as well.

pistons board thinks they would match a max offer, while simultaneously also thinking its an awful idea to match.

Youre the only person who brought up race in this thread. No one cares about his race and if anything his race is a good reason to keep him on the team because of his international appeal.

People on this board just think that with even the tiniest bit of improvement, D'Angelo is a better player than Lin next season and a lot of people would rather see the backcourt of the future in Russell/Levert start together and gain chemistry now instead of pushing one of them to the bench, to please an average player who can sign elsewhere next summer. Also because of his player option, we would like to trade him and get value for him before he leaves for nothing, just like how we wanted to trade Brook for the same reason.

Its pretty crazy now that I think about it. With Chicago, Indiana, and probably Atlanta all tanking its going to be insane to see who actually makes the Playoffs next year.

Miami?
Detroit?

Then who?

Almost laughable.

Its crazy. Only sure teams in the East are the Cavs, Celtics, Bucks, Wizards, and the Raptors. And for the Raptors it really depends a ton on whether or not they retain Lowry and if they lose him how they'll replace him.

True. Now that Minnesota signed Teague I'm not sure where Lowry even goes.

Nobody else has the space for him that would want him. Probably stays in Toronto.
