Super Lintendo: The Jeremy Lin Thread

Our roster is way, waaaay better, and much more balanced than it was 90 days ago. Props to Rich Cho and co.

As far as rim protection goes its great to have that, and we need it. But Golden State won the title with Bogut planted on the bench.

Funny, if we took Noel instead of Zeller a few years ago, this roster would be nasty.

I like Zeller, but we need a rim protector bad.

There are options out there to be signed still: Emeka Okafor is supposedly healthy and waiting for the right situation, Jordan Hill is still unsigned, Jeff Withey wouldn't be a bad stop gap, and McGee is also still out there if we're willing to take the risk. If Emeka really is healthy I'd love to have him back in Charlotte.

Jordan Hill please!

If he signs for the MLE, we will have rocked this offseason.

Kemba always DESTROYS Lin when they face eachother. Its not as close as people think it is. He is worlds better than Roberts thought this was a great signing im really happy.

Seriously, he's a steal for $2mil per year, for his sake I hope the 2nd year is a player option. He's a borderline starting PG so that money is almost insultingly bad for him.

Agreed, although I'm pretty sure it's actually $4 million. Still a good deal for us though, $2 million for Lin is definitely insultingly bad.

Send Marv with those 2 Nets picks to the Sixers and sign Jordan Hill!

Wow what a steal. He is gonna be a great backup, perfect to run our second unit

Jeremy Lins REAL coming out party. And where else but Stors CT against Kemba and the Huskies. Pretty ironic if you ask me.

But without Him and Ezili they never even get there. You have to have a defensive big at times so we still need to find one.

I forgot that you guys have Kaminsky. He and Lin could be amazing together! They have complementary games, both are smart (means rapid development), and both have something of a chip on their shoulders. This could be the start of something wonderful.

I've been meh on Lin since Linsanity but 2 million when Reggie Jackson is getting paid 16 million is a steal.

Im not getting defensive its just Kemba usually scores a lot against Lin. Not that thats saying much hes not a world class defender which is why hes not a starter.

They only faced each other once in the past couple of years as starters.

11/9/14
Walker 7-11 17pts 4 assists 3 rebounds 2 steals
Lin 8-12 21pts 7 assists 3 rebounds 1 steal

That reggie jackson deal is probably the worst deal in the league. Dude is delusional and thinks hes Westbrook.
