He was. The team wanted to keep him, but made a calculated risk of letting him go so they could attempt to sign Chandler and DeAndre Jordan.

Kid is a great story :thumbup:

However, once I was handed the ball and saw the opening I ran to daylight. Not because I knew what I was doing, I just loved the sunshine on my face.

so here i was, a fugitive from justice, riding in a stolen Continental with two slabs o jailbait & a serial killer.

I will tackle a female midget with a handicap if that's what it takes to win. I will steal a car from Russian Mob bosses and sleep with their wives if that's what separates me from first and second. I will yell, scream, bite, scratch, crawl, and kick to the groin in order to survive one more round. I may not be much - in fact, I'm bit TOO much in parts - but I am a survivor. I don't know how to quit and I'd rather pass a kidney boulder than lose.

a good player

“The best thing for being sad is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.”

He didn't get that much playing time and didn't average many points IIRC, but GSW has a lot of scoring mouths to feed - I'm sure that had a big part to do with it. Too bad for them - Bay Area kid with other ties to the community.

???? Palo Alto is just across the bridge and East Palo Alto is pretty bad as well. The great thing about the Warriors and a major reason why the fan base is so awesome is unlike football and baseball they are the only basketball team in the Bay Area. If you love basketball in the Bay pretty much everyone from Oakland, SF, and San Jose will cheer for the Warriors.

Per Wiki:

Lin has regularly heard bigoted jeers at games such as "Wonton soup", "Sweet and sour pork", "Open your eyes!", "Go back to China", "Orchestra is on the other side of campus", or Chinese gibberish.[6][86][87] Lin says this occurred even at most if not all Ivy League gyms. He does not react to it. "I expect it, I'm used to it, it is what it is," says Lin.[86] The heckling came mostly from opposing fans and not as much from players.[89] According to Harvard teammate Oliver McNally, a fellow Ivy League player did once call Lin a "chink".[86]

Too bad Melo/Amare have to come back. Amare won't hurt him (as he's at his best playing off others). Melo's a me-first ball hog and the most overrated player in the league. Glad he's finally getting exposed for what he is -- the modern day Glenn Big Dog Robinson.

Ya there was no way he would get this kind of PT with Curry, Monta and the 1st round pick (Thompson) we just got. Like 16 said W's were clearing cap for Chandler/Paul and Deandre Jordan (although the ####ed up with the amnesty clause), and they wanted to bring in defensive oriented players, which Lin is not great at. Glad to see he found a spot in NY, dude is gonna be throwing oops left and right when Amare gets back. They dont need him to even score at that point. Oakland like Palo Alto has it nice areas and its bad, you see some old Oakland money neighborhoods if you walk around in Piedmont or the Hills, but get out in the high avenues and you better be there just to buy some weed.

Negative... they were being very physical with him and even doubling him up in the 4th. If he 'looked' wide open at times... that's because he's quick as shizzz.
