Ahhh, I love it when a team is committed to making money instead of winning....it warms my heart as a sports fan. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 06:42 8
- cause Jason Kidd and Felton are that much better than Lin? -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 06:43 7
  - For the price, I'd absolutely take Felton over Lin. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 18, 06:59
  - Different moves to discuss...Lin had 25 good games, broke down and doesn't fit in with the team as constructed. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 06:48 5
    - maybe. But as the article points out; at worst you retain him and then trade him immediately to get something back for him. Predictions: - Beaker Jul 18, 06:55 4
      - In regards to #2) I'm all about winning. if I put a boring team out there that wins 4 titles in 9 years, you can call me the Spurs. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:04 3
        
        and again Jason Kidd (aged Kidd of today) and Felton have proven they can win? -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 07:05 2
        
        Again, you're giving me other moves that I'm not discussing. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:08 1
        
        If I see the contracts -- we're talking Kidd and Felton are about 6.5mil a year ... Lin's about 5mil*. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:19
