I too, saw the WASH vs. DALLAS summer game and it was a damn good summer match. It was kept pretty tight in the entire 4th, and it was clear who the two stars were on each of their teams, respectively.

I would draft Jeremy Lin over Rautins any day of the year. He's more PG-ready, more marketable, fearless driver, and hard-nosed on Defense. Rautins is perceived to be a one-dimensional player who clearly needs to put more time and confidence into his jumpshot.

If Nellie son doesnt sign him due to roster full of guards, I think he will ask his dad in golden state since GSW lost morrow...

I would dump Rautins for Lin in the speed of a phone call. He's a nice player for what MDA wants to do--they over-analyzed and over-rated Rautins--go check game tape --Lin gets up and down the floor as well as almost any guard and has very nice athletic ability + he's the 2nd best defensive guard in the draft.

I would take Lin over Rautins even before we saw this. Fields was a great pick, most of us are admitting to that. But to pass on Stephonson and Lin over Rautins is just plain "safe" and stupid. Do you think any one in our front office has noticed what Lin has done? (For that matter, how about the rest of the NBA).

Get Lin Donnie!

Just watched that video. I can't believe he did not get an invite when we need a pg. It's true about how we draft
Damn, he has a head on his shoulders which is just what a pg in this offense needs. Perfect fit. His college career was not an aberration.

did Knicks have this guy in for a workout? can't remember.

Looks nice. If he sticks with Dallas he would be behind Kidd and Beaubois. Prob wouldn't get any playing time. Would seem to fit in nicely with Knicks.

He is in talks with 3 teams, one eastern conference!

Suddenly, the player deemed too flawed in most major areas to survive in the NBA is in contract discussions with three teams, according to league sources. The Los Angeles Lakers are believed to be one, with an Eastern Conference team the other.

I think they still have Nick Calathes stashed away in Greece for the time being too, no?

I think so too. If we are the Eastern conference team we would be in the lead. Who do we have behind Felton? Douglas is more a combo guard and we can argue that.

Lin looks impressive and exciting in SL. I saw clips of him last year but didn't give him much thought as he was playing in the Ivy League.

Would Lin, as an undrafted player, fall under any salary guidelines for rookies if he signed a contract with an NBA team, like us?

When you hear great teams like Dallas and the Lakers who have had realli good succes both in winning nBA games and drafting players later are keenly interested you nee to stand up and pay attention. This is why i said you cant be married to a 2nd round pick if he's just not that good because you picked him. We have 3mm in cap space I believe--now I would not over pay him like that--but we have the ability to do a three year deal for 3-4mm 2 locked and that would get it done--and worth it. Pay him like a first round pick

Maybe Boston- didn't Tony Allen sign somewhere else? Nate is back, but not a true PG.

Maybe the Bucks- they lost Ridnour- who is their backup PG?

We should sign a true point, but aren't there ten guys out there better than him?
