But yeah, when you look at the context, its just another reason to like the guy. Dude just hit a game winner and is making sure everybody knows he wasn't the hero. Awesome.

I actually love that he is with the Nets now, everyone is showing so much love. In the Lakers forum half the people would be hating on him even after he hits a gamewinner.

I do love the couple verbal jabs he throws at Philly though lol, "This in between the seasons stuff, it's a process. Trust the process man."

If you're ready, Kenny Atkinson and the players have PLANS for you, Dloading.
Thanks for the honesty.MorbidHEAT wrote:My dislike for Lin started during Linsanity. It was absurd. It's probably irrational dislike at this point, but man he gets on my nerves. He's been tearing us up though.

The guy was born in 1996.......
Random question: does he have the Euro step?

We did a terrible job of developing him, we never gave him a real shot to thrive. Byron Scott used to put him in his doghouse for little mistakes every **** rookie does. Walton didn't do a better job either, splitting his minutes with clearly less talented players in Lou Williams and Jordan Clarkson.
The only reason he did get to you, is that we didn't treat him like we should have, based on his basketball skills and other personnel we had. If we had put the ball in his hands, and played him as much as he deserves(starter minutes), he would have still been with us, because his production per minutes played is some of the best in NBA history, at his age. He's in elite company there.
We **** up, and I'm hoping with all my heart you guys won't, and that he'll thrive with you. You deserve a break after all that green douche fiasco, and I have my own agenda with all the rats on the Lakers board, who think this was a good deal and Russell being gone is actually a plus.

yeah, that's one thing too...he's kind of loose with it. not to the point where he's getting into legal trouble and stuff, but he's definitely no choir boy. doesn't mean he's a bad guy either. we need a guy that will not only buy in, but have some edge and not be afraid of the big moments.
One thing I do expect is that he will make an effort to defend. I think defense is 85-90% about effort. Even if he gets burned at times, I still expect him to get up and defend. Lin, LeVert, RHJ all play both ends of the floor. he's going to have to buy in, feed off of that energy. we get our hands dirty over here.

Russell will see his true potential here. Mark my words, he will be a star here. I have zero doubts, only injury can hold him back

I'm sure of it, also.....I'm still angry as **** he didn't get the Devin Booker treatment(big minutes every damn game, even though he played poorly sometimes). That's how you **** develop a talented young player.
Russell >>>> Booker, and this would be a non argument if the two had gotten the same chance.
With his chip on his shoulder, the proverbial 3rd year jump and if you make this "his team", this is Harden(first year jump from Okc to Hou) per 36 mins all over again.
That's 24/5/6/1.5 per 36.
Quote me on that, I maintain my stance.
