Neither possesses the court intelligence Lin has and your usage of stats to pretend they are comparable players shows me how conventional your thought process is. You just don't get it then. Lin was a game changer, not just some scorer and he has clearly shown he is a work in progress committed to evolving his game. So hug your stats and talk about careers worthy of comparable contracts while numbing yourself out to the person who Lin showed themselves to be and the considerable upside we'd be getting. If you can't determine his qualities and need to talk like a census bureau statistician, you're just way too cautious to really pick talent. You only want the sure thing and that never produces winners, because you're always going to be paying up the nose and getting no upside. You just see the world differently, that's all.
Yawn. You people are so caught up in the "feel good" aspect, that your not looking at the bigger picture. We've been down this road before, but switch Felton, Gallo, Chandler for Lin. (And yes, I get it's different since we don't get anything if Lin walks.)
And for the record, I said the Knicks should match.
You people? Feel good? What are you talking about? You're the one talking like an accountant. That practically makes me a hippie by comparison, but I'm not waving pom poms for Lin, you're just predisposed to cynicism and unable to judge talent and you're trying to pass off your fence sitting as wise compared to "zealots" who don't need double-speak and can clearly say they believe what a player is.
