We're giving Portland MORE for Felton? How much are we paying this guy?

3yrs 10 million

Hahn said the physicals still need to be done, that's why it's not official.

Dude, you can't even spell Korea. It's Korea, with a K, not a C.

In Spain is with a C dude, don't be so mad at me, I was raised in Spain not in Corea.

You vastly underrate Lin


i would say you overrrate him, he's a good player, i'd like him back...

but if he's getting too big for britches, f*ck him, he's not a Lebron, or a Kobe, or a Carmelo for that matter


Kat, you're too smart to be basing your sentiments on Lin off of Isola, Lawrence, and tabloid reports. I don't understand this at all.

For me it would be right up there with Scottie Pippen being taken with the Knicks pick and being the 2nd star on a team that beat us while we were looking for that 2nd star..

We're giving Portland MORE for Felton? How much are we paying this guy?


Maybe approximately 1,000,000 more components?

I don't feel Lin is the ONLY player who can play PG for this team, especially at that price tag.


You name another PG who is reasonably available besides Nash or Paul that can lead this team with two cornerstone pieces that don't complement each other well to a championship?


I reject the premise. We don't need one player to do that.

We have two veteran pass first PG's in Kidd and Prig, we have a perfect P/R tandem with Amare in Felton. i think that combination at the 1 is more than enough to lead the talent we have to a championship.

the only thing I fear is messing with the chemistry our team had last year, by making changes, but the roster in and of itself, is more than adequate to get us to our goals.

Why is the rest of his reponse in English? And shouldn't "Spain" be "Espana"?

Apparently lots of fandom riding on this decision.
