Whoa, this is fucked up. Nsfw racist language http://www.asianjunkie.com/2012/02/jenny-hyun-songwriter-for-snsd-chocolat-is-a-racist-psychopath/
How many times did I mention that we should get Novak? ugh I hate when I turn out to be smarter than our management.
Are the Knicks still intent on going after Dwight Howard? Would we be interested in getting Stoudemire for expiring contracts? Reunite him with Felton (unless he's one of the expiring contracts).
Felton was nearly an All-Star for New York. Perhaps a Felton-for-Lin swap? We could give up Jamal Crawford too, even though that would decimate our guard depth. Hollinger's Analysis of the deal is -39625 wins for New York and +12 wins for Portland, but Hollinger is a bit of a geek.
I think this has been suggested. I wonder what barriers Lin will be more responsible for breaking down: more Asian-American players scouted or more Ivy League players scouted? (There was no "annoyingly God-bothering players" barrier to be broken down.)
Good ideas often emerge multiple times and independently. Like Newton and Leibniz with calculus. I think those are basically the same thing, or at least extremely overlapping on a Venn diagram.
Knicks basketball has become "appointment tv" for me. First time that was ever true. People keep talking about Lin like he's going to come back down to earth once he's scouted, as though other teams will only improve while a 23 year old second year player with only 7 starts is only going to get worse. Seems to me a lot more likely that he's going to figure out his turnover problems, work on his three point shot and defense, and get to know his teammates' strengths better. He may have some short-term setbacks as his body gets used to the grueling schedule, but overall he's going to get much better, not worse.
I agree that Lin should probably be able to sustain a fairly high level of play because he's got a high basketball IQ, he sees the floor and bottom line, he's just a gamer. The turnovers aren't ideal, but Hollinger has done several articles in the past on young point guards (mostly in his draft previews) and a high turnover rate as long as it's paired with a high assist rate is one of the most easily corrected flaws a prospect can have. The fact that he plays for a coach that wants his point guard to take risks and doesn't get a stomach cramp every time a player turns it over also helps him immensely. He could have hardly landed in a better situation.
