    So you are saying they might be looking for a PG?

    Is Portland a great city to live in if you're a young, Asian American male with a lot of money?

    Like to see Toronto go after Lin so they don't go after Dragic, they are one of out competitors for Goran if we go that way

    Guaranteed all star starter and a Blazer jersey would be one of the top selling ones in the league in... forever? I can see why PA would be interested in him.

    There is no way he makes it over Kobe Bryant or Chris Paul in voting.

    There are a lot of Chinese people that love Linsanity.

    I'm willing to bet he leads the league in votes next year.

    During the Linsanity he was great when the offense went through him and he was free to run the team. Tyson Chandler flourished (offensively) with Lin.

    Linsanity slowly fizzled when 'Melo ISO ball came back.

    Linsanity couldn't handle pressure from his defender. When Linsanity was at its highest, Miami took him completely off his game by pressing him the whole way down the court. The guys handles were very shaky.

    John Wall and Kyrie Irving were schooling him and making Shaq look stupid for taking him so early in the Rookie-Soph game all-star weekend.

    In real games, Lin picked Wall and Irving apart. He destroyed Wall multiple times

    When were these multiple times?

    Sure, he beat Wall in a summer league game, but Batum sucked in his first summer league.

    Wall and Lin played once this year against each other, and the Knicks did win, but both guys played well that game.

    He only played against Washington once. He did well in a win, but he and Wall played evenly (23.5 game score for Lin, 23.4 for Wall).

    He fared better against Irving in another Knicks win (22.4 to 14.2 game scores).

    Of course, Lin is over two years older than Wall and almost 3.5 years older than Irving, so we should take that into account, but you're right that in real games he fared well against both of those guys.

    Lin and Wall played against each other in summer league as well, Lin got the better of Wall there too.

    I just rarely count any all star game of a talent evaluation opportunity. Maybe a "flash" or "swag" gauging opportunity.

    And Lin was completely shut down by Miami, the best defense in the league, when he was their only focus defensively. Melo and Amare gave him nothing to work with in that game.
