He is going to make 45 million plus in jersey sales? Nice try mini BBD. The way Dolan is going to make up the money is raising prices on everything.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

And everything else. Lin's a brand at this point.

What?

Lin is not going to make enough money alone to cover the luxury tax hell hole that the final year of his contract will put The Knicks in.

Also on the eastern all star pg candidates unless Lin can continue his hot steak he is not getting in without the Asian vote.

1 D Rose
2 Rondo
3 Deron
4 Kyrie
5 Holiday
6 Lin
7 Jennings
8 Wall
9 Lowry

Jrue Holiday...? Seriously?

Brandon Jennings is a sparkplug that plays on a crappy team. He has yet to prove he can carry a team.

Lin can beat out Lowry.

How are first round picks looking in summer league so far?


The wizards had there first game today Beal lit it up in the first half but didnt deliver in the 2nd half.

Chris Singleton didnt do anything impressive.

Jan Vesley was hitting jump shots(biggest shocker) it looked like he gained weight and it looked like that hurt his explosiveness. The funny thing is he actually fouled out after 10 fouls.

Ya Jrue Holiday is a candidate not that he will get in but he is the starting pg of a team that will be most likely in the playoffs again.

Since when do you have to carry your team anywhere to be a all star? You have to put up good numbers which Jennings does well.

Lowry can also beat out Lin?

There are about 9 guys I listed that have a shot and at least 3 or 4 are locks. Depending on Rose's health. The rest of them are all most likely not going to get it in. Due to the fact the any east all star team will have Lebron so the need for another ball handler is not needed as much.

I was listing candidates in no real order of the east pgs with a shot to get in.

Is there a greater injustice in basketball than Danny Ainge constantly refusing to build the C's around Rondo?

Shut up ginger.

[Bixby (Thumper)]

The Bobcats are playing well against the Kings. Tons of pressure on defense and good pace on offense. I think they can be a lot better than they were last year if they keep up the same style of play, they have those sort of pieces to be effective with it.

In other news, Jimmer Fredette still sucks.

How can Lin not play defense?

Kobe would school Kyrie. Veteran savvy.

[SickwithIt1010]

Just the fact that he's 6'6" and would just back him down left and right

[Vikes99ej]

Kyrie Irving is going to be a great one. Too bad he's going to have to waste his first five years in Leaveland before having a decent chance in the postseason.

[D-Unit]

I hope they report it when Kobe takes his 50 grand. It's gonna be fuuuuuuuny!!!

that'd be an awesome shot if he made it.

btw, I still contend the Knicks should trade Carmelo+Chandler for Dwight. Makes too much sense.

That doesnt make the Knicks very good?

As a Magic fan, I don't like that. Rather start over with cap space, prospects and picks and send him out West.

[Bert Macklin]

Nash gets a warm welcome in LA

The NBA should hold an event on All Star Weekend that's just a few 1 on 1 matches. Anybody can challenge anybody, proceeds to go charity, guys can wager whatever they want. Since the Superstars don't want to do the Dunk contest anymore, they can replace it with that.

yeah. I guess it all depends how the Magic value him and what they believe to be a better offer. Value wise it seems fair.

it depends how the knicks feel about carmelo going forward. I don't think Dwight would have a problem resigning with the knicks though. He likes the NY glitz and glamour. Plus even though Amare is getting worse, still gives them that "twin tower" thing.

I still want him in LA, though. I think there'd be a strong chance he re-signs because I think we'd win the ship...

3 on 3. Kobe, Durant and Lebron vs. any other three in the league.
