That was quite a first day of NBA free agency. Over $1B in contracts committed. There were many seemingly overpaid players, but the NBA salary cap will be increasing by 60% over the next 2 years, so those contracts won’t outrageous next year. Most of the Day 1 signings were teams re-signing their own players. Not too many surprises, except for Kevin Love (it wasn’t known whether he wou... »
Summary: It’s another two-a-day practice again like yesterday but I suspect Coach Byron Scott will do lighter conditioning not to tire the players before the 1st preseason game vs Denver tomorrow. I will frequently provide the latest update below to get a sense of how the training goes. Nash is back in practice after sprainking the ankle yesterday but I would think they still want to ... »
To conclude Day 5. I will just give some observations. Lin is really in shape, no doubt about it at all. He does not cheat the drills too. Always gives his best! The hard work will show in the real games. Lin is by nature a leader, he was very vocal during the drills. He clearly gets it, knows what Scott wants. Very good sign, because by staying ahead of the learning curve, you earn the trust from... »

This is the 3rd day of the practice. Coach Scott put more and more offensive drills while the camp progress. It is clear that Lin is not the media’s focus for this LAL team. Therefore, we really do not get to see a lot of him in action. As we conclude this post, I want to point out that, Lin is a known factor to the coaching staff, and he is performing like what coaches thinks he could in my... »
Oct 1 (Day 2) Day 2 of the TC was still defense focused. Coach Scott was not really impressed by Lin, but he did not disappoint him either. It does not mean that Lin did badly. On the contrary, I believe coaches have higher expectations on him. They know what he can do and he is doing it. However, I think the 1st 2 days did not show how good Lin really is, because mostly it was about conditioning ... »
