Jeremy Lin Press Conference – 7/13/15

http://www.nba.com/hornets/jeremy-lin-press-conference-7/13/15

I really wonder why GM Cho used the biannual exception instead of a portion of the MLE. Now the team is hard capped.

Jameer Nelson has landed three-year, $13.5M from Denver
https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/620625484355731457?p=v

should have added a third pick: stinky tofu 🙂

I was told it’s not the case. MLE can be for 2 yrs, player option on the 2nd yr as well. hmmm…

I guess w MLE they normally will stay longer. Like Monoroe last year, he also took 2M so he can free this year to get his big contract.

I’m not a capologist, just what I’ve read. I think MLE is different depending on where team is with cap. Also not sure if can have player options in that 4yr MLE.

@Demalonzo I’ve heard both, but I suspect it’s the BAE. MLE requires a minimum of four years. Lin’s deal is reportedly two.

That’s my interpretation.

Would love to ask:
Your stats are similar if not better than a lot of starting point guards out there that got significantly larger contracts. What made you decide to accept the Hornets contract since it appears you may be coming off the bench.
1) That question brings out the fact that his stats are better than other starters
2) It reminds people he should be starting
3) It reminds people he accepted a smaller contract

Less than 5 minutes!

It’s good questions but perhaps it might be ‘sensitive’ issues that might not be good to help JLin develop team chemistry w new teammates. It might start starting PG controversy

Stat-wise JLin arguably should start over Kemba but it might be more diplomatic to ask these questions in Fans Q&A than the presser.

My hope is JLin’s strong play will make Coach Clifford to eventually start him, either at PG or next to Kemba as PG/SG

PC started!!!

Hornets looks very nice to Lin. Good!!!

Well, it’s NC & small market team. Good enough.

JLin is in!!!!

He’s not wearing a suit this time 🙂

yup…like it as well

That a Swaggy cut?

So they did come to LIn parents’ house? wow

JLin: To find my full potential, I need 2 find out the right system/coach

https://twitter.com/hornets/status/620641267282657280

Nice to see the Coach to pitch in to Jeremy’s answer and backing him up!!! Bravo..*clap*clap*

https://twitter.com/At_The_Hive/status/620641596619509760

can you explain this…edit no need somebody explain it above

Wanna make it to playoffs!!! cool+

https://twitter.com/At_The_Hive/status/620642162036895745

JLin: God always made it clear to me. 1 Team in any journey (Harvard, HOU) Have peace in God. Thought 1 team but it’s another

poor Jeremy, hasn’t found the team he can call it home, yet

https://twitter.com/At_The_Hive/status/620643186122313728

JLin: Listening to Coach Clifford, I appreciate the honesty, communication, system that had been issues in the past few years.
Even when I haven’t brought it up

J Lin is very calm and seems very happy. Can’t wait for this season. Also Clifford speaking like he knows what he wants to do with Lin as oppose to his previous coaches.

LIke the coach already, intelligent, articulate.

https://twitter.com/At_The_Hive/status/620643740231860224

Sweet! I liked those questions and the reply from Lin and Coach

This was crazy to me. It just shows how incompetent Byron Scott and McHale are.

ditto!…can we fast forward to preseason?!

Yeah, I’m liking this coach a lot. Seems total opposite of Byron Scott and McHale.

Yeah, he said he spoke to Dantoni too!

Is the press conference over? I couldn’t get it to stream.

just finished. They are going to take some pictures but I think they mentioned they might bring Jeremy back?

After listening to Coach Clifford …I dont even wanna mention those 2 names

Thanks!

And to Nash!

Jeremy said he talked to the coach about what was expected of him, something that didn’t happen in past few years. That means McHale and Byron Scott never talked to Jeremy about that. So sad.

I’m sorry. I feel like I need to wash my hands now after mentioning those 2 names.

Nah, they just spewed negativity and blame onto him in the press.

photo ops are ongoing.. they might come back later

I’ve been doing so, thanks for posting the quotes and play by plays!

Feels like Clifford really gets Jeremy and is going to back Jeremy up.

Yes yes yes…Culture…Wins!!!

https://twitter.com/hornets/status/620646535181791232

Clifford and the Hornet’s organization knows where the NBA is trending. GS winning the title was a wake up call to teams (with common sense to adapt) to change their playing style. Need more 3’s and PnR plays. Some coaches are too stubborn to use it and some will over use it. A good balance will lead to the playoffs and hopefully a title. Glad the Hornets goals is the playoffs.

hahaha

That was a question from one of the reporter…some like ” we all know the circus that went on in LA, could explain a little more”

any news on whether he’s coming back to answer more questions?

I think that was it.

LOL

What…is he here spying on us!??

I guess…thats it

https://twitter.com/jace_darling/status/620646703079780352

Ya! Great actually.

Pretty confident. He knows what he is doing. Well, as long as the coach let him.

LOL .. I love CHA media already

Yep, the BS experience.

https://twitter.com/CNM_JLin_Vids/status/620657760099766272

Kemba is not Beverly or Price/Clarkson and has earned his spot so it would be more controversial to discuss Kemba vs Jeremy starting.

the trashcan was hilarious!!!

Dang I missed it. Is there a vid of the press conference?

I like that coach Clifford mentioned Warriors 3 times. Look likes a quick tempo and lots of P&R are the directions the coach is willing to go to. He also mentioned talents and versatility and mixing players of different strength with different plays. He knows what he is talking about.

Newly acquired Charlotte Hornet, Jeremy Lin joins “The Pulse” today in the 3 o’clock hour right here on ESPN 730 Charlotte
http://espn730.com/

https://twitter.com/ESPN730/status/620666922267471872

In the begging of season, Kemba and Batum would start but i have gut feeling that Kemba and Lin would start as a dual PGs in the middle of season.
When they defense, Kemba guards PG and Lin guards SG since Lin is taller than Kemba.

NOW!!!

Lin really trying to talk about how his defense and TO are getting a lot better. From the press conference and now this interview. Getting in front of the false talking points.

love the way he puts it too, as a fact without bravado but with confidence

jlin said he expects from talking to coach that he will spend court time with kemba, thats one reason he wanted to play here, and his excitement with playing fast together

D’Antoni doing an interview?

good to know, unable to listen to it

I like this LIn, seems a touch of more edge

His DRPM better than some 2-team D player

From : “Swarm & Sting” :

Jeremy Lin was officially introduced to the Charlotte media today as a member of the Hornets. He was incredibly relaxed and looked like he made a great impression on every member of the media. He definitely won over the media in Charlotte if he hadn’t already done so … . To say the very least, this kid will be a great addition to the Hornets locker room. He has his head in the right place and really wants play and compete. Charlotte fans will love Lin, on and off the court, if they don’t already.

See : http://swarmandsting.com/2015/07/13/recap-of-jeremy-lin-press-conference/

Great! The more I read the more I know why even w low salary Lin likes this team.

Not sure if these are posted. After press conference 1 on 1 interview from hornet’s website.

Looks like Divac might’ve ate a rookie.

This is the strongest statement by Lin today. CHA believes in him.
Other teams .. not so much

The news about Rich Cho flying & coming to his house to have him signed was another strong example.
Which GM did that? And for JLin

https://twitter.com/hornets/status/620640257722052612

Lin is busy today. answering questions from twitter. Guess he’s working on his floater again.

http://www.nba.com/hornets/twinterview-jeremy-lin

We can certainly play “Caption This” with this picture

https://twitter.com/linlin_lucky/status/620702357798518784

I can see he can do well as a sport commentator after playing, but I think he probably have other ideas on what he’s gonna do.

King is luck to get Koufas & Belinelli. Maybe they will play better this year? Hope Mav will not make it to playoff…LOL!

The fact that the Hornets were not front runners and then went to JLin to sign him shows you just how committed they were to him.

Well, Hornets might thought Lin is a far reach, as they really don’t have money for a FA. But they might see opportunity when he got hanged by DAL.

Thanks. Added links to the post

So true, we’ve been saying this forever. For example, Asik was lead like How a donkey would be with a carrot dangling in front of him. A lot of Lin’s TOs were to teammates that didn’t know how to flow into the right place.

The reason why Ed Davis and Lin got along so well was they not only read each other’s angles and positions in relations to how Lin wants that play to develop, Ed knew how to move himself into the empty spaces for Lin to have an alley to throw him the pass.

In one of the highlights recently posted with Lin against Charlette, Lin drove around the bottom of the basket looking for an opportunity. 3 defenders went him and Ed Davis stepped backwards away from the group to create enough spacing for Lin make something happen. Lin made a beauty hard bounce pass to him for an easy dunk and 1.

Guys like Hill are so BBall dumb that they would just stand there in the way not allowing enough space for Lin to create a pass. It’s in these instances that often Lin forces the ball into the players hands to teach and lead them to play with better spacing.

MLG extended warm welcome to JLin

https://twitter.com/penny10654/status/620709133201747968

Lin and Price worked ^very well because they if respected, also if completed on the court and everyone knew their role.

As Lin will complete Kemba if the two need to have the ball in his hands?

If Kemba is not an defense?

At the end you know that will take the blame? Lin! Lin! Lin!

Who goes to the bench? Lin! Lin! Lin!!!

Summary of JLin One-On-One Interview Part 1
http://www.nba.com/hornets/video/teams/hornets/2015/07/13/150713Lin001mov-3643384

– CHA Assistant Coach Stephen Silas was instrumental to develop JLin as a rookie in GSW
– Coach Clifford loves the game & is such BB junkie watching films, (watched 8 full JLin games)
– JLin: Kemba is dynamic, should’ve been an All-Star
– JLin: said Jefferson is so smart (can shoot/pop or roll in PnR)

The most interesting part is about JLin exchanged brief text messages with Kemba & AL, felt so nice & welcoming.
Plus JLin mentioned about playing “along side” Kemba as if to emphasize he’ll have chances to not just back up Kemba but on the same floor with Kemba & Al (perhaps to close games)

Check out @penny10654’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/penny10654/status/620711575159083008?s=09

Doubt McHale or Scott watched one of his college games.

Girl: You remind me of Timon from Lion King.

Jlin: Nope, I’m more like Pumbaa

No doubt but definitely not. That’s why I trust JLin’s choice from Day 1. He learned well from those 5 years in NBA esp after Knicks, Rox, and Lakers. He knows who are the fakers and talkers:-)

I’m all in since Day 1. Never have any doubt about JLin’s choice. He knows what he wants:-)

We are actually going to hear insightful and intelligent post game interviews from a coach and not just from Jeremy.

Yes what a change. Rather than “no zip, no zing, lack of energy, players were soft today”

It doesn’t look like anybody is happy except clueless Divac.

What a contrast from his Asia trip. lol. What is he eating anyways? Did he not have enough cake they made for him!

I was surprised and encouraged to learn that Coach Clifford spoke to both MDA and Nash at the beginning of free agency. I’m sure those two had very high praise for Jeremy…what better endorsements could a PG get?

He’s very careful not to step on Kemba’s toes and avoid unnecessary controversy.

If the opportunity arises to start at PG, then it’ll happen gradually over the course of the season. Right now, Kemba isn’t going anywhere (contact too long, trade value too low), so it’s best to praise Walker and let Clifford handle the basketball decisions.

http://www.wxii12.com/nowcast this link is has saved portion of the news cast have not found jlin time yet…

Lin Fangirlss breathed a collective sigh of relief everywhere 😀

I’m looking forward for a mental refreshment after the torture we had to endure to listen to McHale & Scott in the past 3 yrs

In the long-term, though, Lin can’t reach his full potential unless he’s the lead guard.

And if you’re a Hornets fan, you have to know deep-down that an undersized 38% shooter who can’t hit 3s or defend average-sized PGs is trouble. Even if you don’t believe in Lin, Kemba Walker is not your long-term solution.

From the sign at the gate looks like he’s flying back to San Francisco. He said he was going to work out with Nash again so probably back to LA at some point before the season starts.

He sounded confident stating the facts. One if the best isolation defenders at his position. Tops in blocks for pgs as well.

The faithful knew it, not necessarily by the numbers, just knew it. Wu kong’s numbers did was let us send links to those who could be converted. That was a fun era now past I hope. Lin’s team should keep feeding him these things to announce.

JLin has said previously he keeps in touch with D’Antoni, texts frequently. I’m sure he’s spoken to him about Clifford & what kind of coach he is as he was previously his assistant coach. So JLin must be pretty comfortable with what he’s getting into.

Pants need hemming.

Good to see her starting her job with smiles – she has a lot of work to do to rebuild JLin’s social press from what we’ve experienced these last 2 yrs.

shump gave it away shump got a new do; i linked it earlier…i think.

no more japanese algebra? no more charmin?

I’m sure Jeremy will warn them of how the media will be invading their space during his post game interviews 🙂

Not sure satisfy is the word or not. Maybe “help” is more accurate…lol

Don’t forget the hover hands lol

He didn’t want Jeremy backing out, not like he would.

The company that made the cake for Jeremy (“Got What it Cakes”) has been featured in the New York Times, Redbook, Better Homes & Gardens, and Huffington Post, as well as on TV. Here’s a fanciful cake they made for a child’s birthday party …

Ruessll got 8 TO 1 AS even got benched in 4Q?!

LOL….still taking about LAKERS?

fire that barber! lol

幸災樂禍 the Chinese equivalent right here..lol

I’m sure some of us are a bit wary of Lin’s coaches by now lol
I will believe it when I see it…. but according to all the reports here, Clifford seems sincere enough. I hope so

Don’t have a cow, Man. Eat my shorts, BScott and McHale? lol

The miscalculation that they want one D’Angelo Russel that will take years to become an NBA PG rather than Jahil Okafor and Jeremy Lin for certain; the combination would immediately upgrade the team. Now they only have 1 PG. It’s a crazy move that is going to throw Lakers years back.

Just for the record …

In Nov., 2014, when the Hornets were in LA to play the Lakers, Mike Bresnahan of the LA Times spoke to Steve Clifford about Mike D’Antoni. Bresnahan wrote that :

“The former Lakers coach has been spending time with the Charlotte Hornets, watching their practices and games while giving feedback to Coach Steve Clifford, a former Lakers assistant.”

Bresnahan quoted Clifford as saying :

“I know this: He was in Charlotte for three days, and we had a great time. We talked basketball, like, two or three hours a day.” “He still has a real passion for coaching. I know that.”

See : http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/la-sp-lakers-fyi-20141110-story.html

Meet Jeremy Lin of the Charlotte Hornets

Team ball that involves everybody. One for all and all for one. They are going to switch roles and mix it up to confuse the defense and offense of the opposition. Just see how it goes.

LOL. #creeperphotos

well clt is a big christian town no.

I think Jeremy slid that subtle hint in there intentionally.

It’s just human nature to act this way. It protects our fragile ego from feeling worst.

The best comparison is how when we go through a bad breakup with an ex. We start the healing process by wishing for them to realize they made a mistake. Then we accept our fate but grow angry and want them to fall on their face without us. The final phase is by far the most difficult and that is indifference. When you final reach that state, you have finally broken away from the pangs and chains of that relationship.

Until we finally don’t care, we will forever be slaves to that ex and locked in the past.

Well they now have the second coming of Magic in D’Angelo Russel and a big that is a perfect fit for the all-star coach, Byron’s style of slow ball. They also have the best on court mentor in Kobe, who makes players around him bitter…I mean better. So they should at least make the conference finals this coming season…I wanted to write all this but decided not to, cause it makes me sound petty.

I own those words.

bitter … I mean better…. haha too funny – but sadly true. 99% of LA sports media too afraid to say the truth about Kobe situation. Oh well, have to say Buss family was definitely “loyal” to Kobe. But loyalty does not mean stupidity (making dumb decision and letting Kobe and BS ruin 2 to 4 seasons consecutively).

James Worthy was saying Kobe was “dominating when he played” . What was he watching? He was a volume chucker, chucking at below league average FG% and killing ball movement. LA media totally covering up for Kobe and BS.

This must be some of that Confucius stuff…

His defense is pretty bad here 😛

I like D’Angelo. I really do.

Or her offense is superb.

1st in blocks? Nah 😛

Another Lin quote that Lin fans know so well what it means

https://twitter.com/At_The_Hive/status/620643186122313728

And one!

Surprised he didn’t say DOTA 2!

Yeah, I’m also worried about the politics of the situation so I don’t want to get my hopes up too much.

Hopefully both Jeremy and Kemba can start if that’s the case. Or at the very least, let Lin be a true 6th man and at least finish games.

Thanks. I was wondering if these two had PC.
Jeremy definitely got a VIP treatment with the GM flying to Palo Alto and the coach accompanying Jeremy to his own press conference.

Haha. It’s just food coloring.

Lin even had dinner w coach & GM last night.

Exactly. All that for a back up PG but everyone knows Jeremy is more than that 🙂

Thanks

Should’ve included blocks…and coach. Pops and BS are like heaven and h***.

Here you go 🙂
https://twitter.com/GotWhatItCakes/status/620814814844186624

What is Batum? Is he kind of a defensive guy like Ariza with an occasional 3?

Thanks!

Mmmm, sound good.

A good offense over a good defense.

I always liked him, play like Parsons style, very smart, good at everything, better defense than Parsons, and very smart guy. He cuts, and moves and have good assist number too, like to pass.

LOL, yeah

I think his defense is great and often guarded the best scorer on the other team and a good shooter. But he suffered from injuries so that his stats went down.

He seems shy. Need to ask for tips from the other Jeremy 🙂

Can’t watch from my country:-(

uh, Manu is close to 40 yrs old

Sorry. It’s ok, it’s nothing new.

WFNZ interview
https://twitter.com/upwithjoe/status/620781673366614017

LOL

I can safely assume that Lakers will have a disastrous season coming soon. LOL!

smart answer…

This coming season they have better shooter than the previous…that would workout well

I’m pretty sure that’s what they are hoping for! They still want to tank so that’s why they got rid of Jeremy and Ed Davis.

And Coach Silas

yeah…i think thats how things would have happened. Their pitch was just right in time

I think its too early to say…..for now, I would say around 7/8 seed

For now…Lin is filling in Mo Williams position, hence he would come off the bench….but I think, the coach will position him to play both first and second unit

Lin is a people person, he socialize well

Thats sweet! “You were BY FAR the nicest player we’ve made one for!!!”

And there were some who were mocking Nash for not helping Lin

Totally agree, high top hair with earrings seems like Swaggy P got some influence on him!

Confusing stuff!?

Who are they? For what?

Lin in his press conference and the meet Jeremy videos stated that he really didn’t have many offers when media asked with the different options, why did he choose Hornet. I think he’s being too honest giving that info. I think Hornet media wanted to push the story that Lin chose Hornet because of the great fit and rejected teams like Dallas.

Despite he said that many teams had talked to him(probably to his agent), I guess there was never a serious offer. I wonder if he not being around at the start of the FA talk hurt him. It is just crazy the amount of money given to some of the other players, Lin did not get much different offers. The misconceptions of him while in Hou and LAL really had hurt him significantly. I think the lack of offers woke him up that he needs to really change that misconception of his skills with him emphasizing that in his recent interviews.

https://twitter.com/Librafree/status/620875085788786688

I guess he was waiting in Asia too long for Aldridge decision?! That’s why teams didn’t want to wait for him. Plus this year besides King, all the teams seemed to only will offer you the contract if you come…. I guess that’s why…

https://twitter.com/eryngradwell/status/620933539836624896?s=09

Based on the first interview, am I wrong for thinking Lin was promised to start alongside Kemba??….It surely sound like he’ll be playing a lot of minutes beside Kemba, but there’s a few problem with that…Batum, from what I understood, was bough in as a projected started…and Kidd-Gilcrist is a lock-down defender who is also expected to start….so where does that leave Lin?

At the least, it looks like he’ll see good minutes beside Kemba…but will still come off the bench.

I wonder how much minute overall Lin would play…I’m hoping for about 28…is that possible?

i just was looking at charlotte fan site and a seemingly knowledgeable poster there long time team follower was projecting exactly that 28 minutes.

i would see (from what has come from charlotte management to date) him (lin) being used as he was in the rotation at the end of the season in l.a. when he had a bit of a resurgence before he went out with injury issues; playing half time as 2 and half time as 1.

ie. getting part of his time as point and part not. whether starting or coming off the bench at various times of the season really not important the minutes important.

historically (with qualifiers) the 28 min mark has kind of been the cutoff point for lin success; if he can get more than that good. if less not so good.

I think they are pushing for him to be the 6th man. But letting Lin playing both PG and SG, he should get more significant minutes.

Hi, I always wanna ask, are you working for Zcode? Just curious….

If Clifford wants to play Batum as SG i think he will fail like the past year.

I never liked Kemba Walker and I always joked about Kemba’s teammates who never gets the ball. Unfortunately Jeremy is there now.

If Lin has to come off the bench Lamb should be the one who should start at 2. With Batum at 3.

They should close games with Lin Kemba if he wants to share the ball Lamb Batum. If Kemba hogs the ball, MKG at 3, Lamb 2, Batum 4. I still don’t see how could this team run the floor with the likes of Al Jefferson as starter.

If Charlotte really want to compete he better fix his mistakes or his days as coach are numbered.

Lets see how the lineup is formed after scrimmage and preseason test runs

This team could be perfect for D’Antoni: double playmaker and very good shooters like Lamb and Batum outside who are very good defenders.

They just need to trade Jefferson for a more athlethic center

Then bench Kemba and go with Lamb Batum and MKG.

Anyway it’s also true the opposite: Lin is too quick for some taller SG.

Batum was famously drafted by HOU but traded to POR for Joey Dorsey & Darrell Arthur (yes, who?). He’s been known to be HOU killer when playing against them.

He also outplayed Parsons in that POR-HOU series when Parsons declared himself the best SF in the series LOL

I really like his game because he’s smart, plays multiple positions, can drain his 3s, defend and always a threat to close games when he’s hot. Jeremy will enjoy playing with a smart player like him as he shared in the 1-on-1 interview part 2

The personality is also same with JLin, low-key, humble but lethal

impossible.
you don’t bench 12 million dollar player and have him play less than 20 minutes.

That’s why lin plays in houston even he gets mistreated..because of his big contract.

lin has a on year deal bro. get stats leave if he wants

happen to lin unfortunately. look lin has the power. he is there for 1 year. if he plays well its his choice where he want to play. he will play pg and sg a lot. they need the offense and pg play since kebab is not much of a pg.

Wow! Hornets are really nice to Lin.

I’ve never heard of hack-a-Lin strategy. lol

Brent, people still talk about the Rockets. =)

messssss

Who knows? Maybe if Denver traded Lawson away, paid Lin $10M, and told him he would be the focal point of their rebuilding?

Ordered! Hopefully he reaches the min.

Here is an architect’s rendering of the Time Warner Cable area in Charlotte where the Hornets play. Their practice facility is also part of the arena complex.

At $12 each it’s a great deal. Just ordered five. Please everyone spread the word!

I want to know if anyone else saw the JLIn only fans ( literal fans) for fanning yourself in one of the clips when jLin was signing autographs in Asia not sure where…. anyway I would like to buy one of those anyone know of a source. I thought it was hilarious! It will be a great memento to have.

watch everyone start unfollowing if lin goes somewhere else.

The Hornet itself forms the number 7, ingenious design!

Report: Nuggets considering waiving Ty Lawson http://dlvr.it/BWxmdN

https://twitter.com/basketballtalk/status/621101883520737280

I loved that they kept talking about winning and making the playoffs. Thank goodness, no more tanking.

They were trying to get something for him in trade. Other teams were waiting for the price to drop. Today with the second DUI his value dropped precipitously and Denver probably re-weighing their options.

Right now almost every team has PG so …. I think Denver will trade him not waive him.

Rox still needs another playmaker so it’s more likely they will take him. But No one wants to play next to Harden as PG.

Ty has no options and Rox still have some assets to trade for him. Cant wait to see who will start between Ty and PB…lol

You’d think the could just fire him, wouldn’t you? “Normal” people would have already possibly lost their jobs by now.

But it doesn’t appear to be the case. Same with Felton’s troubles a few years back at NY. They couldn’t get rid of him. Mind boggling.

Nice architecture! Looks like a museum.

syyyyyyyyy

Another aspect of TWC Arena that isn’t seen in every NBA venue is an area on the main concourse which features a full-service bar and food court that overlooks the Bobcats main practice facility below. Large windows allow you to peer into this area and view the two courts where the Bobcats hone their skills each day.

2 DUIs in a year, that’s kind of a problem you are right.

The more guards the Hornets sign, the more I get this feeling that they’re are setting up for moving Kemba next year.

So I hope he can end up w Rox… just let him fight w Harden then put PB to bench…LOL!

no

1) Coach Steve Clifford plans to play Lin and Kemba Walker together at times. “He can play with Kemba and that’s what I like,” Clifford said. While Walker is a point guard only, Clifford envisions Lin as a combo guard who can team with Walker when the team goes with a smaller lineup, which would mean Nicolas Batum would shift to forward (Batum, Clifford believes, can play shooting guard and both forward positions — the “2, 3 and 4,” in basketball lingo).

Clifford notes that one of the trends in the league is “downsizing.” Many teams make do with only one true post player on the floor at a time now, and sometimes none (the best example being Golden State, which uses small forward Draymond Green as a center in what I believe is its most effective lineup). This will also be a way for Lin to get more minutes than he would as only Walker’s backup. Walker averaged 34 minutes per game last season.

Clifford said the perimeter spots are all set in the starting lineup — Kemba Walker at point guard, Batum at shooting guard and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist at small forward (Lin will be a reserve). The interior rotation, he said, is more uncertain — although the coach noted that Al Jefferson was “still our best player” and said he believed Jefferson was doing everything he could to return to being the player he was two years ago.

Thanks guys for giving me the answers – I don’t know anything about the team but it’s good to get to know the team”

MKG works his a** off on every possession. Defends the best player on the other team 1-3. We never send a double-team to his man, even when he is getting lit up (rare). Coach would rather let everyone else stay at home (similar to Iggy defending Lebron in the finals). Even when he is defending the other team’s best player, MKG is still covering up for everyone else’s mistakes as well. Never gives up on a defensive fast break. Great rebounder for his position.

On offense, he has some well-known issues. He doesn’t shoot 3s (yet). He’s become fairly decent in the mid-range from the elbow and baseline. He loves to attack the rim, but often gets called for offensive fouls. He has decent handles, but doesn’t use his left hand much. Always tries to finish with his right hand.

He is the glue that holds the defense together. Everyone feeds off his energy.

Yup, NBA is going small. Pacers going to move Paul George to PF.

In Lakers case, loyalty does mean stupidity. Let’s see how stupid they’ll go. Another contract extension?

I can’t find the name of the main host but I think the other guy is David Walker.

Easy, Lin took more money but was not starting….JK….I know I know

https://twitter.com/Loveforlife0323/status/621188239311769600

LOL, that hair do with hair band.

This is an old article about Hornets’ newly-hired shooting coach. I’ve heard Mark Price is a great shooting coach but he isnt with the Hornets now. Anyone knows him? Look forward to how they could help Lin’s shooting get better.

https://twitter.com/EricPMusselman/status/620321187931918336

So Lin’s going to start wearing headbands now?

Lets not start calling people as hater just because they don’t believe or understand Jeremy’s capability

Remember, it’s halfway done…so maybe Vegeta as a target? LOL

nooooooooo!!!

Not only Amin, many holds the same perception on Lin and the past Coaches had not helped either. That doesnt mean Amin is a hater.

???!

Bias I could agree….but hater is a strong/hash word….

Would it be possible to cut down on Kemba’s minutes..from 34 MPG to maybe 29MPG…That would give Jeremy more minutes to reach 30 and also play the point.

I envision Jeremy coming in the game as the first sub at about 6:00 left in the first quarter.. to either replace Batum or Gilchrist…and team up with Kemba….so that’s 6 minutes there for Jeremy.

Kemba will probably be subbed out a bit later in the first quarter…maybe with about 3 minutes left in the first quarter..the guy replacing Kemba would probably be a shooting guard…so Jeremy moves into the point guard spot and Lamb comes in to slot into the shooting guard position.

In the second quarter…Jeremy will start the second quarter, and depending on how he’s playing, may stay in until, probably around 8 minutes left(probably too tired to stay in for more minutes)…Kemba will sub in for Lin and move into his point guard position and play the remaining 8 minutes left in the second quarter

Lin minutes totals: so that’s 5 minutes in the 2nd quarter + the 6 minutes Lin played the first quarter = 11 minutes for the first half……The second half will duplicate the first half minutes rotation.

Kemba minutes total: 9 minutes in the first quarter and 8 minutes in the second quarter = 17 minutes in the first half…34 minutes for the full game..

So I envision 21 minutes for Jeremy Lin…that is if Kemba remains at last year 34 minutes per game….I’m hoping for more, but that can only happen if Kemba’s minutes are cut down to 30 MPG.

I’m sure if Jeremy is hot and playing very well, Clifford would probably justifying leave him in and keep Kemba on the bench.

I don’t like Freddie Coleman neither.

I agree. He has been played so bad in the summer league so far. I really think Lakers should draft Okafor instead. This is from LA Time…

D’Angelo Russell, the kid the Lakers surprisingly picked second overall in this summer’s draft instead of going with sure bet Jahlil Okafor, is projected to be a great point guard one day. But on Monday he was benched during a late Lakers comeback attempt because he could no longer be trusted with the basketball, having committed twice as many turnovers — eight — as his combined baskets and assist. He has occasionally shown glimpses of his potential during these three summer league games. But with 10 assists and 20 turnovers overall, mostly he has looked like the 19-year-old kid who is trying to pass the ball through windows that don’t exist, aiming directly for players who aren’t there.

ya’ll are just so mean. 😛 I like his hair. serious I like it right now even if he is saying this is some interim step to something else. Its a fun cut. and it’s just hair.

hahahahaha Ken Jeong on that desk.. I thought it was a comical relief or like SNL, but then I saw SAS..the REAL SAS..and I’m like, not this is serious.. but why was Ken there???

Almost most of them are incredibly biased.

Bc he’s #2 draft Lakers have to keep him no matter how bad he plays now…. I don’t get why they changed their mind to draft him? Bc in the beginning Koafor was their target.

overanalyzing.

Who is Ken Jeong?

oops….wrong post…lol

Lol.

tough question!

I do…I hate Jlin haters…fight fire with fire..hehe

yes .. not a good Twitter discussion to be had this early
Kemba might freeze Lin

I could be but I prefer not to have this talk right now bc it’s a new team for Lin. Have a good season it’s more important right now. He needs his teammates to support him.

Pretty much the teams JLin has been on since D’Antoni resigned from the Knicks. Hopefully the Hornets will be different.

lin has a 1 year deal. it really doesn’t matte. let him play the role he was brought in to do and we will move on after a year. no need to make his role a hard one. like some of you cant help but cause drama between lin and other players. if lin had a 3-4 year deal i would understand this but its a one year deal. chill for 1 year please.

I think so bc we don’t even know is this team will be Lin’s future team or not…? Just forget about the drama.

Cue…”Singing in the rain”–I do not know why, I just feel like it

For the past 3 years, Lin had been reined by McHale/BS. Still he found opportunities to shine and improve. Take the triple double performance off the bench when playing for Rockets, and 5 games breakout after ASG 2015 that BS “accidentally” let Lin played his game (under 30 minutes).

I have full confidence that Lin will do well, not necessarily to a Linsanity level in NY before Melo came back and killed it, but with solid stats all across the board. Well, ONLY IF THE COACH LET HIM.

Well the stereotype has an upside too… lol

Man, you just called some of us crazy, great.

Is it not true? Lin does have some of the most crazy fans. We must be crazy to still believe in the guy after his departure from the Knicks.

Check out @bcreichs’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/bcreichs/status/621344516923072513?s=09

Here is an example of an extreme crazy fan comments:

Opponents are going to heavily guard Lin no matter what team he’s on.

We saw opponents constantly ignore Harden and Howard to gang up on Lin defensively.

Lin’s
now at a point in his game where it really doesn’t matter how heavily
he’s guarded. He’s gonna GIT HIS and there’s nothing opponents can do
about it other than pray that his coach race benches him.

If Lin
could easily get 18 last season while being the prime target of defense
from his OWN team, scoring a measley 4 ppg extra would be easy if Lin
actually played for a coach that didn’t gameplan to freeze him out!

NBA defenses can never truly stop guys like Lin.

The numbers you suggested are basically what Lin was averaging in 20 games with the NBA’s worst scrub ballhog in Kobe Bryant!

Make Lin the man and he’ll clear 20 ppg without breaking a sweat.

You should write this to Jeremy. Reminding us that it’s time for him to walk the walk…well, it’s not like we can do anything about it.
However, the evidence is overwhelming that Byron Scott was tanking, and Harden wanted to ballhog and not play D.
So don’t worry so much about Jeremy. He’s a really good player and he’ll take care of things.

And when lin does have an all-star year… ? So will they all think Lin IS THAT GOOD.. or will they now say “oh it’s the system that make him great? (like with mda)” I see a hypocritical argument here. Lin fans say and blame the coach and system when lin didn’t do as well and then say doesn’t matter if it’s the coach (which is ignorant). But When lin does do well, Lin haters will say it’s the coach and system that make him great, but lin fans will just say he is that great.

Like I said.. Lin has to WIN 3 championship with HIM leading or as the lead (like John Wall is with the wizzies) and then haters will say he is average and then get trashed and infuriate/humiliate by many other neutrallers who say hater doesn’t know a thing about bball.

Yes, he has to win 3 and him leading, because with just 1 , they will call it lucky. 2 will start turning heads. 3 will cement it.

Coach Clifford would never allow Lin to be frozen out by teammates. That’s why Lin took that “low” salary to go there.

Last statement is true IF he is playing against a team where their d stinks.. or lower ranking teams.. like philly and celtics. But against top western team, I willnot say that is true.. especially breaking a sweat part…because he will need others to buy in.

exactly.

I think you are right, Lin has to deliver to a much higher standard than others. Thems the breaks, good and bad. Good is he will get to that standard just like most champions, and barring more bad luck (coaches, Ks, divas, org dysfunctions, injuries) he will continue to do something exciting for everyone.

One thing that we have realized now is a lot of things have to gone right for Linsanity to happen in the Knicks.
Injuries, playing 4 games in 5-6 days, being called from the end of the bench when MDA didn’t know him, Lin’s decision to play all out rather than playing it safe, etc. Lin himself called it a miracle in Taiwan (2013) counting the odds of his genetic pool & other factors. So there were internal & external factors that need to line up perfectly

So realistically for it to happen in Charlotte again, Lin has to do his part to work his hardest and play his brand of game all out. Things are lining up well as the coaches are close to MDA, plus GM/coach believe in him. But other factors have to happen just right. These external factors are something that Lin and we don’t know at the moment. Lin did his part to pick the best system/coach but there’s still no guarantee

Lin probably is seen as good backup PG at the moment in the NBA so he’ll have a job for a few years.
What we don’t know is will he have the chance to rise as an NBA star?
Lin’s doing his part but a lot of things have to go right for sure.

For me, I have hope since I believe Linsanity happened for a reason. But if not due to some external factors, I can live with the fact that JLin is giving his all. That’s the character that I admire the best & try to apply to my own life.

Why are you on this board BS disturbing? We have come to terms with the bias from other people, other sites, other experts, other GMs and coaches. We have experts of our own with numbers and statsto disprove any and all of what you say. Stop baiting this board with youre fear mongering.

WE HAVE ABSOLUTE FAITH IN LIN O
N THIS SITE
IF YU DONT, ID SUGGEST GOING TO ANY OTHERSITES ABD YOU COUKD EASILY GET LOTS OF NGATIV COMMENTS ON LIN.

You don’t talk raining in a beautiful sunny day.

He’s done it before under a right coach and teammates.

Lin has already done a good job of establishing himself as an impactful NBA player. Given a better coach and more suitable system, Lin can only make a bigger impact.

Ya! Hornets media are very nice to Lin & also warm unlike Rox.

Points well taken. But I beg to differ. Jeremy has already shown the NBA what he’s capable of (excluding NY days). He’s improved steadily over the seasons. Only the Lin-haters doubt to open their minds. Good players and great players All get some sort of criticisms. Lin is here to stay. There will always be a team for Lin’s service. The players and coaches all know about his upside. Sometimes, it’s not who choose Lin but the other way around.

Dragic overpaid by $24M

Ellis overpaid by $13M

C. Brewer overpaid by $11M

Rondo overpaid by $7M

i dont understand thae stats that well. where is brent to explain it????

19 mil.. how many years?

I think he said 2 years… Well, I want to know how he got this number?

Thanks.

used WARP values. explained here…http://sonicscentral.com/warp.html

I wonder where Kobe would have been on that list. I have a feeling near the bottom

I am one that was surprised by Asik’s number. Not sure how he did last year, but thought he was a solid center clogging up the middle for defense.

you hit on what he does; (which is something that doesn’t translate statistically well)–he sort of takes up space on the court to free a.d. to do is thing.

but i think there are a lot of guys who could do the same thing plus more: if anjica is still there in a little while i wouldn’t be surprised to see him take asik’s job.

First post. 🙂
Really looking forward to this year with Hornets. Since we still have another two months to wait, let me share this old video I found on Youtube. Enjoy! #buzzanity
https://youtu.be/7z1m7beMXY4

Warp has a higher weighted value for ‘defense’ in the calculations.. This comparison of WARP versus EWA (written by Pelton the man behind WARP) .. explains the huge difference in WARP and EWA by the fact thtat WARP supposedly count defense more….gives a huge value to Rondo’s defense…. “The biggest discrepancy here is on Rajon Rondo, who comes out as the Celtics’ most valuable player by WARP but is a distant 27th in EWA. Rondo’s defense is valued more highly by my methods.”

http://www.basketballprospectus.com/unfiltered/?p=224

It is important to remember both of these are nothing more than mathematical models playing around with box scores. so how in the world he manages to pretend he is properly giving weight to defense from box score numbers is beyond me…. but for now the basketball community is enamored with these various box score stat models…

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/13258700/john-wall-washington-wizards-notes-paid-same-less-heralded-reggie-jackson-thanks-cba

I watched this and u know what is so ironic.

SAS and Skip both commented Reggie Jackson is well worth it and should get paid the same as John Wall 5 for 80 mil because Reggie Jackson got 17 and 9 in those 37 games while John Wall has 17 and 10 for the entire season, so John Wall should better step up his game.

Sink. that. in.

Do you see what I’m seeing or hearing.

If not, I’ll point this out => 37 games vs entire season.

I can see where they are going with this.. because reg jack can do what john wall did in 37 games..so THEY ARE THINKING that if you do it the entire season, reg jack might hit 20 and 11.

BUT that is the kicker. Anyone knowing stats will tell you, John Wall at least is consistent because of his LARGE sample size of 82 games. Reg Jack might actually hit 15 and 8 instead because larger samples MIGHT also lower his stats…not increase in very likihood.

So in my opinion, John should get 5 for 80 or more than Reg Jack..while Reg should get less because Jackson didn’t not play long enough for the season.

Same logic that goes for Lin when he has this awesome 25 games and he is saying that is not a big sampe size so he lucked out to get that 25 mil contract.

So if everyone stick to the same logic.. Reggie should not get that high of a contract and John Wall is right in that matter.

Wow, did everyone forget what they say about Lin. Can’t believe this.

thx

thx

it’s good to know that the GM/coach has his back.
It’ll be better when the current players want to cooperate.
I’m so glad to know Lin texted Kemba & Al already to plan & collaborate

When Lin explodes this year and the gamble pays off. Expect Lin to decline his player option and go for the 80 million 4 year contract.

I hope he blows up this year and goes to a contending team on a max 4 yr contract. The thing is Lin tends to be loyal and I could see him getting a max contract and staying with Charlotte because they gave him a chance but it would hamper his goal of getting a ring.

Thanks. It’s quite a colorful blogger but an accurate overview of how Lin is much better than Mo
I like how he translated Lin’s different dimension as “competence” LOL

..

Okay, so what are we getting for—still shaking my head in disbelief—$2.15M a year? GM Rich Cho described Lin as offering a “different dimension” to Charlotte’s offense, that dimension being “competence.” If you consider Lin to essentially be a replacement for the combined efforts of Gary Neal and Mo Williams, last year Lin contributed 2.7 win shares to the Lakers, while Neal (0.1) and Williams (1.4) contributed a total of 1.5 (per Basketball-Reference.com). Lin was a more accurate 3-point shooter than Williams (.369 to .337), and he was more judicious about taking them (3-pointers represented just 26.9% of his attempts compared to Mo’s chuck-a-thon 43.1%). Even better, Lin gets to the cup like he’s late for a urinalysis: 27.8% of his attempts were at the rim, and he finished at a delightful 60.4% clip. Even better-better, he can run a pick and roll. Per stats.NBA.com, Lin ranks in the 72nd percentile in pick and roll possessions, actually not far from Kemba Walker’s 73.9. I didn’t even see Mo Williams on the list…until I saw that for some strange reason NBA.com uses his full name “Maurice” (some people call him “Maurice”?), and it turns out he’s at 43.9. Lin even gets to the free-throw line at nearly twice the rate of Williams: 41% of the time, compared to 23% of the time. Are you not entertained yet!?

Okay, so defensively, Lin is certainly not a young Scottie Pippen, and perhaps he’s not even thecurrent 49-year-old Scottie Pippen. Basketball-Reference.com had him at a -1.4 defensive box plus/minus last year, which basically means he allowed 1.4 points per 100 possessions more than an average player would in similar circumstances. But guess who allowed a full point more than that? One Maurice “Mo” Williams (-2.4). It’s a similar story when you just compare them on an individual basis: Lin gave up a pretty ghastly 19.4 opponent PER, according to 82games.com…but I’ll certainly take that over Williams’ 24.3. Lin’s not very fast and he steals less than the Pope, but with two inches and nearly 6 years on Williams, I’m a believer that Lin can still improve defensively, especially under coach Clifford’s guidance.

..

JLin’s brand of basketball…his stats are great if he get 30 minutes on the floor. in Houston and even in LA weird use and all the craziness aside it si not about him fitting with a system it is about giving him 30 minutes on the floor. It’s not about him bringing back Linsanity… its still there. it is just caged. in lock down and not allowed to thrive

If explodes for 1 season, they still think it’s only 82 games.
but reggie jackson is not a fluke because he plays 37 games..and he is black.

Knicks should cut this cancer:

I think either Melo will out or PJ…Two of them seem to not get along well.

I hope he drops more than 38… a new career high. Very doable because they are not good 🙂

Haha… this is like the third time in the last couple of days.
Media day starts end of September followed by training camp in early October. Pre-season in full swing in October and then the season starts either end of Oct or start of November. Let’s hope it is the former 🙂

I admit I was tempted to do this… lol.

LOL That will be an epic for me. Break the record JLin!!!!! LOL As if JLin is going to listen to me:-)

Lin tripple double right before the Linsanity.
Nobody can’t guard Lin.

https://youtu.be/X0FT4HwRnAI

Just checked last season’s schedule. This should give us rough idea on new season. Last season:

29 Sep Media Day
30 Sep Training camp began
6 Oct Preseason games began
29 Oct New Season began

Clarkson is a SG now. But no matter he’s a PG or SG, ISO always first comes to his mind. LOL!

actually clarkson is still the ball dominant guard; he’s dividing time pretty much like did with lin at end of season for awhile; russell plays pg with clarkson two then clarkson plays point with someone else two, so clarkson gets the full minutes…and even when russell is point clarkson still has the ball most of time; he’s got to get his minutes with the ball in his hands before regular season with kobe when he will never touch it again.

Should have always been a SG.

Really? Wow! I guess bc Russell is not good that’s why Clarkson got to dominant ball… smh!

that was an amazing quote lol

He’s lucky to have Lin there to make him look good right away. Lin makes other players around him better.

I stopped at “SAS and Skip…”

dont want to keep talking lakers but it still blows me away that in summer league the lakers are barely able to stay with other tanking teams when the lakers are playing who are projected to be 3 of their 5 starting players in summer league

while most summer league teams only have maybe 1 or 2 high draft picks and the rest of the team is guys who will never make the roster.

lakers actually have up to 7 or 8 guys in summer league who could make their roster primarily because all their rotation players from last year start of year except kobe are gone! and all they added (thus far) was lou williams and hibbert.

another deep tanking season ahead here.

kaminsky looked good in summer league. as i have noted b4 very fundamentally sound. sets a lot of high screens. seems to be what they call high basketball iq if not exactly graceful athletically.

Why is that a fear? You are worried they will want to change Lin’s form? I dont know if they will try to do that but since Mark Price was a great point guard and a famous shooting coach, I hope they could instill more confidence into Lin and help him keep the good parts, adjust some little details, if there is any bad habbit, like keeping his elbow straight.

Wonder what Lin’s shooting will look like after weeks’ work with Doc scheppler! Hope it works well because his 3 pointer shooting will be very important on this team!

I think it’s (was?) Harvard’s standard home jersey. If you search for Harvard basketball, you’ll see plenty of those jerseys. Here’s one with Lin wearing #11, which he wore during soph and jr seasons.

wait? I would think the imitations would come out before the official!

Nice, at least he did his homework and backed things up with numbers

With Charlotte Lin can have his own team and don’t under estimate young talents and Charlotte seems to have some great players who can score but not star caliber!

Here is a bit more detail on how the training camp / preseason was set-up LAST SEASON (2014/15). Teams playing overseas had their ‘media day’ earlier and started the training camp earlier.

dont want to keep talking about lakers but you touch on the point ive been trying to make up that stands out like a sore thumb: the entire lakers summer league team is basically more than 50% of their regular season nba team!!!!

while the teams they are playing: maybe have at most 1 or 2 players who will make the nba roster.

and they still can’t keep up. another tanking season looming big time for the lakers.

How about 15-20 fg, 10 3’s, 11 assists, 10 boards for 40 pts in 30mins?

Back when Lin joined Houston and did the press conference, I remember that it was just the gm and owner who sat with Lin, right? Not McHale?

But this time, it’s the coach sitting with Lin. It didn’t seem like McHale ever believed in his game. But the current coaches seem to really know Lin.

thnks my audio is garble only get out of LA is the one I understand

Go any slower and it will be a clock violation.

Did he really in charge the O today? He had less TO.

He is basically telling reporter I am slow and we need to slow down….I cannot keep up with the pangos guy

https://twitter.com/EricPMusselman/status/621522467572453376

That’s right. It was the GM that brought Lin to Houston and LA. This time, it was the coach. I think the result will be much different this time.

yeah, they traded their rookie for Batum, however, Batum is pretty much the same age as Lin, so….

Even Morey didn’t want Lin. It was all Les Alexander.

hahaha…I like your statement

I think it was fair perspective…everyone entitle to their view….as long as they dont bash other members and Lin…should be fine

So in Houston, there were unsold GM and coach on Lin.
In LA, there were unsold coach and star on Lin.

so sometime by the end of September is when the ball will get rolling, feels a billion years away lol 🙁

Exactly….if Line does and fits well with Hornets, I would like him to to stay and build his career here, obviously with better pay out

Yup, and even back then, I was a uncomfortable with the fact that Morey said Alexander made him get Lin at any cost.

Since not much else to discuss until training camp, Lin hair prediction time! =)

My prediction is that he going for an undercut, which is very trendy now. Shaved sides and back, long hair on top slicked back. I just hope he’s not going to combo that with a man bun/top knot (shudder).

http://hairstyleonpoint.com/undercut/

Yes it is.

But hey, it would be even more insulting if he didn’t make it on the list!

The only way not to make mistake is to make nothing at all.

I don’t know, most of the undercut variations look the same to me. Long on top slicked back, including the Brad Pitt Fury undercut. The only ones that stand out to me are the pompadour (extra poofy in front like Elvis) or the man bun. To be honest, I know nothing about hairstyle. =)

I think its fair, because the bench of measurement on that report is RPM

Well said, Cap!

I would say Kobe probably brought every one down. Never practiced with the team and then just showed up to hog the ball, take 25 shots, miss 20 and blame everyone for the loss. No trust on that team.

Just changed my posting name back to what I’m known as in other sites.

He spoke with Shane Young of HoopsHabit and discussed his time with the Lakers. When asked about how it was like playing with Kobe Bryant, Hill mentioned Bryant’s floor presence, his constant yelling, and how not everyone is suited for it: When he’s on the floor, all you hear is Kobe’s mouth. On the floor, all you hear is Kobe’s mouth. During practice, it gets loud. A lot of people can’t handle that I guess. – via Lakers Nation
Jordan Hill,

Wow! Hill fights back….LOL! Kobe is really a nightmare teammate.

Does anyone know the fans size of Charlotte? I noted that JL has 1.5mil twitter followers. So prob has has 2mil+ to 3mil fans. If Charlotte has only 1mil fans, JL would single handedly tripple the their fan base? Just seems interesting fact about JL effect..

But fall down the cliff thereafter.

Lakers would be an exception with Byron Scott, the team is going to fall down the cliff at the very beginning. With Kobe on his back, there could be no return.

I saw two shoppers doning Jordan’s 23 Bulls jersey and one Jeremy’s fan wearing Rox 7 jersey…yeah, you might say no pic so didn’t happen but I left my phone in the car as I was rushing for my lunch appointment (it’s the eve of public holiday).

It’s good omens to see MJ’s and JL’s jerseys the same day after Jeremy joined the Hornets. I hope the cobranding works well for MJ, Jeremy and Hornet. YAY!!!

white water rafting yes!!! a must do. 🙂

Here is another comment from the Kevin Arnovitz article :

“Versatility is the name of the game,” Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra says. “In the Finals there were a bunch of basketball players on the court. That’s what the league is looking for — players who can do many things and guard many positions.”

Don’t get Coach Spo wrong — upside, length and athleticism are all still coveted attributes. But more and more, scouts and basketball ops people are looking for specific ready-made skills and, above all, guys with a willingness to learn and fit into a culture.”

See : http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/13262777/buzz-las-vegas-summer-league

And he 3pt shooting has improved every yr. Mark price is a great shooter, I think KHuang will like him…lol HOU did try to change how Lin shoots. I believe more or less the team will try to do it.

Check out @AdiJoseph’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/AdiJoseph/status/621704489754578944?s=09

If Curry can be a franchise player, I don’t see any reason Jeremy can’t be one in the foreseeable future. 😉

regarding number 6

I really dont care for the hornets LOL!!!!!!! I see this hornets thing as a stop gap for jlin……I am confident he will do well theres no superstar on this team…..hornets are nothing to brag trash for yrs. LOL!!!!!! after this jlin will look for championship team….I am betting spurs when manu retire

A team like Charlotte that was ranked 30th out of 30 teams on offense is a team that DESPERATELY needs the 2012-2013 starting Houston point guard for the NBA’s #1 ranked offense!

the only thing that I am very skeptics is his nickname FRANK THE TANK…. its seems a players nickname that fits the sixers

I think Lin will opt out next year and negotiate a new Long term deal with the hornets . One year is not enough to find out how good he will be.

and this http://btn.com/2015/06/22/video-former-wisconsin-star-frank-kaminsky-stars-in-jc-penny-ad/

You’ve changed, bro!

totally…thats one thing that should not be missed!

No, he said that he was told to leave this site. by someone.. i think I know who, but ain’t gonna mention names. Why was he told to leave, because from what I know he spoke the truth and some one here say he is not a lin fan (who by definition should worship lin like a god) or a troll..AND that person i believe was a mod. So mod abuses powers too.

Regarding number 6, I just don’t understand why would anyone change the coaching staff after they win a championship??!!! It’s working why break it. If Jordan does that.. it’s again eye tests and they might fail.
Like I said, if something is working fine and great, why break it.

<<1) Lin should have held out for more money. NonAsian players of his same or less statistical production are earning about $10 million a year (i.e. Danny Green who scored less points in many more minutes at $10 million while playing the same SG position as Lin). Even if Lin had only this offer, he should've tried to get more money. I blame not Lin's agent, but Lin himself for accepting too low a contract. But I understand that there are factors that affect Lin that I don't know about, so it's probably just fine.
>>

I dont blame either one of them, Lin knows, the NBA so called critics and his market perception is not the reality, he would rather have a reboot with lower salary so that he wont be claimed as over-rated and prove his point.

I want jlin to win rings hes not going to get it in hornets…

I hope he is strong enough to defend int he post, he is obviously long enough and fast enough.

I like the guy already after seeing him play! Shared this with another poster, but check these out – Frank the Tank will have great chemistry with Jlin both on and off the court!

7) And welcome back, mate

That’ll wreck the chemistry even further if Lin occasionally plays with Kemba.

The bench players will look at the starters playing better with Lin and think to themselves “If I got into the game as a starter with Lin, I’d play better than the other starters”. Then the starters notice that and then you have an all out chemistry problem like what Lin had on NY, Houston, and LA. And it doesn’t matter who the coach is because it’s a player issue.

The only solution is to start Lin properly.

lol..picture please…is there any any midcut?

thanks, though a lot more uncertainty there in Hornets, but I still trust Lin will have his shine.

Totally agree. How did GSW rebuild? It starts with a team culture. Add good pieces like kaminsky. Build a winning season, then build on top of that. That’s how Rox got Howard.

Lin can make everyone around him better and this team already has enough pieces to make the playoffs next year. I can see FAs coming to charllett next year.

exactly…if Hornets and Lin fits well, both trusting each other, I could see a rebuild similar to GSW, and going to Championship in 3 years.

This is why I predict HEAVY LOSING up front in the first part of the season as the coaches give the current starters every chance to win the games on their own merits without Lin’s help.

No he couldn’t.

Lin draws too many defenders, far more than either Curry or Thompson does.

That would completely mess up Golden State’s spacing, and Lin would get blamed for that.

lol…potential of joining Starwars!

Absolutely Kaminsky is strong and big and smart enough to defend the post.

More importantly, can Kaminsky intelligently cover defensive perimeter switches at the 3 point line?

Post defensive toughness is so overrated in today’s perimeter oriented NBA anyway. There are hardly any inside scorers in today’s NBA, and Charlotte has one of them in Al Jefferson.

Coaches like Byron Scott who emphasize post defense as the most important part of defending current NBA teams are always LOSING coaches.

Agreed. If this Hornets team is the new coming Hawks team – why move ? It’s not easy for Lin to play his best if he just keep moving around… Plus the uncertainty – doesn’t guarantee it’s going to be better fit. Hope MJ is getting smarter as an owner and learn from past mistakes. Who’s to say coach Clifford cannot be a great coach. If he truly respects Lin’s abilities and view him as the X factor for winning then he’s a great coach in my book.

I think Frank will be able to hold his own. He’s obviously not a traditional “power” forward and super athletic, but he’s a smart defender, and he played good defense in college without fouling. And the NBA trend these days is towards stretch 4. Heck, even Paul George is going to play PF.

Barea gets a bigger contract after DeAndre decommitment. Originally agreed to 2 yr, $5.7M. Now is 4 yr, $16M.

I wonder how much Lin would have gotten from Dallas after the DeAndre decommitment.

http://espn.go.com/dallas/nba/story/_/id/13267292/mavs-barea-cashes-thanks-jordan-snub

he will

Rick Carlisle deserves a better roster.

Welcome back, KHuang 🙂

On #1 issue of JLin signing w CHA. JLin himself might not be too happy with taking such low salary but I think overall JLin’s agents did a great job to wait until the last second not to commit to the Mavs with equally low salary in a 3 yr S&T scenario. The more I think about it, the worse condition JLin will get trapped in the Mavs where Parsons is the designated Point Forward blessed by Mark Cuban. That’s a definite role player in such low salary for 3 years!

On #2 issue of using JLin as a backup, I get the sense that Coach Clifford really wants to experiment with playing JLin/Kemba/Al on the floor a lot especially to close games because the spacing will be great to get easier points for everyone. But JLin can’t rock the boat to unseat Kemba so Rich Cho & Coach Clifford announced JLin to be backup PG but sent the message to play JLin a lot as 1 and 2. I think it’s very wise for them to do so.

I really like the small-town feel & how GM/coach ensure trust/transparency.
I would hate to be discussing how Lin has to keep Parsons happy w/o having DJ in the Mavs.
I think JLin made the best choice at the moment he decided. Let’s hope Coach Clifford can really develop him, plus keeping the team chemistry strong with all players.

With 1 yr playing great, Lin would have plethora of options everywhere w/ great market value

Lin would have gotten $0.00

I don’t know about sitting out the whole season, but i was pretty pissed off about that contract.

just throwing this out there… what if this is an audition for the spurs to take over Ginobli’s spot?

happy to see you back here.. always enjoy your posts!!

IMO, this track of logic must assume a weak coach that can’t control his players. This coach has backbone to bench a star player last season. This tells me that he has a strong sense of how to build a positive culture. If Walker is a pass first PG, I’m hoping that even as lin’s stature grows, he’ll want to do the right thing and build a strong team scoring culture like SAS and GSW.

I think after Deron appeared on the radar the Mavs decided they didn’t want Lin. Their loss.

Don’t forget, Lin was igniting the win attitude across the team, and that was hurting the org goals.

It’s all about the increase in salary cap the next two years. If the salary cap were fixed for the next 5 years, I don’t think Lin would have taken a 1 yr $2M contract. Don’t worry, Lin will get PAID next year, more than Reggie Jackson

In addition, Josh Smith is owed $5.4 mil annually by Pistons through 2019-20 …

not sure that would be the team Lin want to go to then, whole bunch of old player locked for long term, and they would have no flexibility and no hope. Looks like people on their roster are either come back from a major injury or on the other side of the curve, and yet, all those stars would pay no attention to Lin and might not respect him that much.

I’m pretty sure Lin could see the money there when DJ is changing his heart, but he pretty much decided that’s not the money he want to get, and bound himself on it.

Glad Jeremy is not a Mav. Too much Cuban. Too much Parsons. The only player that’s deserving all the credits is Dirk. Been thinking about it: did the Mavs even made an offer for Lin?? P.Bev mentioned that CP’s been calling him for his service…
Anyway, I’m glad Lin is not there… with or without DJ. It’s all about chemistry – not just adding DJ is gonna make them a great team. Lin is in better situation now. If he wins in Mavs team then the media’s reasons are CP, DJ, Dirk, coach, etc… If he wins in Hornets, he will definitely be the big factor.

Good. Hope he can help Clip to beat Rox.

sure, and agreed. I’m just wondering how much offer Lin would have gotten from a team that was actually under the cap.

But this is a contract year for Steve Clifford and Rich Cho and if they offend the “stars”, they could be let go or even fired.

It all depends on how much ownership caves into the players.

So it’s Jeremy who helped Cho and not viceversa.

Check out @Librafree’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/Librafree/status/621806117618782208?s=09

I think Frank Kaminsky is flat out better than Kevin Love in all aspect of the game except volume shooting.

For now, based on his comments:

Walker / Lin
Batum / Lin / Lamb
MKG / Batum / Lamb
Zeller / Kaminsky / Batum [smallball]
Jefferson / Hawes

As soon as DJ decommited, Mavs no longer wanted Lin. They just wanted a cheap PG to stand in the corner and watch Parsons and Jordan attempt to play PnR.

I have serious doubts about Kemba. No one who shoots that much with such low %s can be unselfish. Even at UConn, his %s were weak. His numbers make Reggie Jackson’s shot selection look judicious. And he’s certainly not going to relinquish shots to the Asian guy.

I think it’s telling that Batum and MKG both welcomed Lin immediately (and Kemba didn’t at all). Those guys are relieved to have a real, unselfish PG to play with. I agree that Kemba can’t feel comfy with Lin’s unselfish, high efficiency play and Clifford already talking about playing them together to maximize Lin’s minutes.

Lin doesn’t need to start. That’s nonsense talking. He just need to play 30+ minutes and be one of the closers for the team. The main thing is getting the W for the team. And coach Cliff is not going to keep Jeremy on the bench because team is playing well. Lin IS Team. He will be one of the Big Three. This Is NOT Houston & LA – secret propagandas. Lin will be much more aggressive attacking the basket – not for himself, not for his contract – But for his Team and teammates to get the W. Take a hard look at coach Cliff and that’s made all the difference. First, McHale = Linsanity doesn’t exist (his mind is closed). Second, BScott = Tankers and Linsanity is dead. **The Hornets & Coach Cliff = We Need Linsanity. Honestly, what’s there to lose for them?. They have everything to gain when Lin shines. When Lin shines Is when Team shines also. Lin is All About the Team. No worries for Kemba because it’s Not about Kemba Vs Lin. It’s The Hornets Vs Playoff teams. Kemba will appreciate Lin’s help, All-Star performance. Kemba will look good too. They will create plays for each other (like Shump, Fields, Novak, JR.)

Heard the Nets were talking to DAL about DW as early as DJ decided to go there, maybe that’s why DAL was never committed to Jeremy. If that’s true, Jeremy got lucky did not sign with them, then DW went, they could easily locked Lin up as a reserve in that situation.

Competition for spots and time will make the good players play harder. The lazy players will soon quit. We’ll see who is who.

So Lin is in LA?! Moving?

Someone said it was more matter of fact than an opinion of good or bad. Wonder who he means by not being able to handleit. Some people handle a loud mouth differently.

Jordan Hill on #Lakers: “All you hear is Kobe’s mouth…a lot of people can’t handle that” http://trib.al/oLUVhxj

https://twitter.com/Complex_Sports/status/621776688079339520

This is one of the reasons why Jeremy holds his tongue. Someone else will eventually say something. Just like Parsons trashed the Rockets after he signed with Dallas.

Too bad Kobe’s play can no longer back up his mouth. Players should start calling him grandpa.

Talk about Kobe, why he’s so quiet this summer? Maybe no Lin so no competition?! He was doing lots of practice last summer but not now? LOL! Well, he will be the king again & no one dare to say or do anything….

…what a failing photographer here.

glad you are back… appreciate your bb insight, take-no-prisoners opinions, and wit

yes, yes .. Lin is like Gru
Let the minions do the job *muahaha* :]

JJ Barea got 16 million while Lin is getting paid only 4 million. Man I wish Lin had waited.

True but I think mavs were desperate for pg and Lin could have got 7 to 8 million a year. Somewhere like 3 years 21 million with player option. DeAndre not signing with the mavs allowed them to overpay players. Matthews got 70 million lol and Barea got 16 million

Maybe the photographer disagrees with the hair lol

I guess what he cares the most now it’s the extend contract. Once he gets the $, you guys can start to tank….LOL!

Waited for what?

There is no team that wanted Lin other than Charlotte.

Impossible.

Mavs have 4 point guards: Barea, Harris, Felton, and now Deron Williams. Where would Lin fit here, not that Dallas wanted Lin anyway?

Spurs don’t want Lin at all and offered him nothing.

Charlotte was a playoff team just two seasons ago. They easily could become one again, simply by adding Lin.

With Smith’s declining athleticism and lack of fundamentals, I don’t know if he’s hurting or helping the Rockets by leaving them.

Lin would’ve gotten his standard great stats on Dallas.

Lin’s style is no longer dependent on teammates or coaches. He’ll GET HIS regardless of how badly he’s frozen out.

I do kinda, but no team was going to offer Lin a better contract than Charlotte did.

Besides, Lin has no business backing up JJ Barea who Lin has repeatedly stomped in games for the last 3 years!

Yup NYK would have been great, but there was no offer sheet, hence he was left with no choice…to take the “ridiculous contract”

But Lin has been playing that exact role as a low usage 3D shooting guard for the last 3 seasons!

Last year, Lin figured out ways to get more “garbage points” off defensive stops and rebounds and bailout passes and loose balls. The Lakers “froze” Lin out as a starter and he ended up with that 19 PER anyway!

It doesn’t even matter which team joins, even it’s the Lakers with Russell and Clarkson and Randle and Kobe all hogging. Lin would GET HIS anyway!

Hill himself is one of the guys that can’t handle Kobe’s mouth.

The Lakers’ struggles in free agency are primarily due to Kobe Bryant being so toxic.

but JJ got locked in 16 mils for 4 years. I believe Lin will get much better deal after next season.
I think Lin would have got MLE from Hornets if he wanted to. i think Lin wanted shorter deal.

While they completely ignore Jeremy, I did find this interesting if this is the view of Kemba:

29. Yes, it is fair to say I have some concerns about the Frank Kaminsky era. Al Jefferson’s injury history, Kemba Walker’s inefficiency and an offense stuck in neutral don’t help.

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/story/25241829/nba-offseason-power-rankings-warriors-top-dogs-dont-sleep-on-okc

If this is the consensus, I can see why Lin was brought in. If he’s given a chance, he can thrive.

Lol

Signature Harden D

At least he is going what he is known for!…LOL you guys are bad and crazy!

Haven’t watched Russell in summer league….

Despite all the tanking efforts, not impressed with high draft picks in general…. supposed max contract “superstars” who aren’t very impactful IMO

Lin is quick and he could blow by anyone.

To the media, turnovers only matter when Jeremy made them.
