Dude can't play if his life depended on it. Thats why teams are not to thrilled about him. His defense is equivalent to luke ridnours. pathethic..

I don't want to make you look stupid but he was easily one of the best defensive guards in college basketball--you're statement can only be based on racial stereotype because it's obvious you never saw him play a minute. I saw him make a block on Jerome Dyson with his hand a foot above the cylinder. I mean he played John Wall pretty darn well the other night--

he averaged 2+ steals the last 3 years and was an active player across the board. He translates well to the NBA because of his size speed toughness and diversity of game coupled with a high IQ.

there's no way we get lin though. walsh is on vacation until melo's deal is up. que sera.

The people who drafted Rautins would never admit mistake. While TD couldnt hit the side of a barn in SL--he did play well in many other areas and he was ACC POY--with a great body of work behind him. Rautins played well at 24 his senior year with a lot of talent on that team.

Here comes the final count down!

Los Angeles Lakers?

Dallas Mavericks?

Miami Heat?

Golden State Warriors?

New York Knicks?

Q godsave - Maybe Jeremy Lin should do a 30 minute youtube special on where he decides to take his talents?

A Just be thankful for not being put through the sickening Lebron overkill in July, if he had chosen NY. I like our guys a lot.

Q panos - Seriously, How much am I going to hate the Heat this year?

A About half as much as The Answer Man, seriously.

Every time they sign another player for some stupid terms because they want to jump on the band wagon, my venom is just going to get more and more toxic. I've been away for a while. Can anyone catch me up with their current roster?

Does anyone here seriously believe that this decision is going to have measurable consequences on the future of this club? All three, if they ever make any team, will be bench warmers and nothing more - ever.

i don't see how u can make that assumption when Lin was able to show what he could do against a top prospect like John Wall in summer leagues... i think he could very well beat out TD for the backup PG spot on this roster based on ability alone & play a vital role if we would have brought him in for a look... whether DW & MDA would allow that to happen after they spent $3M to trade for TD's draft rights is anyone's guess.

...and a lifelong backup?

If true, I have to wonder why a rookie would want to go to a team where he is pretty much guaranteed to be a career backup behind Curry, unless used as a trading chip at some point. Even then, he will be behind Curry, Ellis, so his value will hardly be enhanced during the time he is there because of a lack of playing time.

I would be looking for a team where I could compete for a starting position.
