Jeremy Lin
Where this champion would go.  Huh

He is still a great player, what happened to him? It is true that he did not that much the last season's Finals but he still can play right? He may not be the same at the time Linsanity is a thing but I think still had it in him, just give him a chance.
I don't think he is great even he is still in NYK. I remember the time when Linsanity has been named to him. I think it is the buzzer beater three by him. After that he did stepped up but slowly stepped down. He is not great for me
I'm a fan of him but it's because I've got some other reasons and he's supporting e-sports and even built a team named after him.

There's a rumor about him that I've just searched.

If I have a team in the NBA, I'll take him, he did well with the Rockets when their main Center was injured, I don't know how much his value and I don't know why the Rockets are letting him go.

It's a series of games, if I'm not mistaken it was around Feb 2012, when he was given the chance and since Carmelo Anthony is out that time and they are on the losing streak, coach Mike D'Antoni need someone to spark the team and the hell he did.

But when D'Antoni resigned as their head coach next month March 2012 and when Anthony came back, the Linsanity fever has ended. Plus Jeremy Lin was also injured that month as well.

That's the right story their, It's Melo who ruined the Linsanity, and Melo is not known to be a good teammate, look where here is now, he don't play well with the OKC and he was lost in the NBA.

After that, Jeremy play with the Lakers, but we know Kobe, not a good teammate as well.

What's the update about this guy, he was good during his short time but he hasn't show some consistency thus far.

He should be back with the NYK to the place where he belongs, maybe he can do some magic again.

He is still a decent player but I doubt that he can bring back the glory days of Linsanity. Damn, the good thing is that he was given the time to shine and proved his worth on the NBA, the bad thing is that he is in New York that time and rumours says that Carmelo has something to do with Lin being traded or something and the magic had ended.

No man, he can't do anything like he did when he was still in NYK. Yes he still has his shooting going but he's playmaking sucks that's why he hasn't gained playing time the previous season.

Yes, there's a lot of memes about him that he became a champion without that much contribution to the team. As Reid said, he chose to become a free agent, I don't know if his contract has ended or he chose to choose another team that he can stay for this season or more seasons to come. I'm asking on what's going to be possible new team for him. He's a great player, he just didn't get the spotlight last season and every individual that gets in to the league can be considered as great.  Wink

So the Blazers got a veteran and a champ center, Pau Gasol agreed to a one year deal with this relatively young team. I think the Blazer management did a good job here. It's a good line up.
Keeping Lillard was their greatest deal ever.
I agree, this is an asset to their team and good choice of keeping Lillard. Though they have a veteran and it's noticeable that these teams are working with a veteran and choosing them over other free agents or I guess they have no choice and just want to test out with short term contracts.

Keeping Lillard was their greatest deal ever. With their lineup, they still might make it to the championship .
McCollum is his Pippen. It is also a wise move to extend him for he got the potential of being a champion.

Let the team improve their chemistry by playing together for it may also improve their plays and also a higher chance to get the title.

Free agents remaining.

Dude shot 25% on 2.8 attempts, I am pretty sure he is just Ben Simmons that just takes the shots, people mock Ben Simmons for not shooting but if he shot his shots he would have hit 25% on less than 3 attempts as well, he just didn't want to shoot that bad I suppose.

Giannis is a great player and he is a quite all around player both on offense and defense however he has absolutely no shooting AT ALL. So, getting better at it would be amazing of course but if he doesn't improve and keeps on shooting just to spread the floor more, than he would actually lose his team more points than otherwise. If you are shooting 25% from the three point line just so the team could have more spacing than you are hurting the team more than just crowding the paint area.

Yeah! right, but for me, I'm ok with him if he cannot shoot 3 pointers as most NBA stars do, because like the saying "No Man is an ISland" he also need to have a superstar teammate like the other team does. By the way, I'm enjoying every game of Giannis because of his dominant under the rim. I hope we can see more of it this next season.
Giannis is improving season by season and with athleticism, height and mentality for sure he will still dominate under the rim. Team chemistry is really a must for getting rings, nothing did just being selfish on all plays. Even the great MJ and Kobe needs some to call them a legend. If Giannis will find the best and suited teammates on the court for sure they will be on the zone, you know what Giannis is capable of and plus a better teammate/s for sure it's unstoppable.

Indeed he is a great athlete and he keeps improving every season.
But, I think that he lacks of skill in strategy and playstyle. He is kinda predictable and you know that would be his next move. If he enrich his playstyle he would be for sure unstoppable.

Right, and it's up for the team management to bring someone that can be a reliable force that could help Giannis. Without another superstar even Giannis cannot bring the championship to the Bucks.

Oh that will be very advantageous for Giannis to learn from one of the best shooters we have in the NBA. And we all know that Giannis weak point is his shooting although we have seen him taken 3's last season. But he needs more improvement, follow thru and what a way to learn from Kyle Korver himself.

Giannis needs to have a decent outside shooting percentage. It does not necessarily need to be 3 points. He just needs to make the defense spread out so that he has a better chance to penetrate.

Yeah, I mean outside shooting and not necessarily 3's. But during their games against Toronto, he was trying his 3's that's why it stuck on my mind. He also needs to improved his FT shooting as well, if I'm not mistaken his percentage is around 70%-80%. So that area is also critical specially if it mean making the FT in order to win those close games.

It would certainly take time for him to improve and to become a complete player, what the team needs right now is someone who can play as high as his level so they will not be easy to be predicted as a team. All their opponent has to do is to stop or if not, limit Giannis, and the team can't win.
That is the keyword, make him a complete player, Giannis strength is on open court so if there's no fastbreak then it will be difficult for him to score unless he has the shooting touch. So let us see if he can improved, not expecting a big improvement but at least he has the confidence to shoot, unlike last season wherein sometimes he is hesitant to take the shot even if he is wide open.
The pressure is difference in the playoffs compared to the regular season, and because he has limited to offer to the team, he was scouted well and the team were not able to adjust. We shall see next season, with the current line up of the East, I think they have a chance of winning since Leonard was already out in the Raptors.

I would not expect too much though. Maybe he can raise his percentage for 10 to 15 percent, that's it. He is not a natural shooter so there are limitations to his improvement no matter how hard he trained.  I am yet to see anyone in nba who is not a natural shooter who drastically improved his 3 points shooting.

Yeah! right, but for me, I'm ok with him if he cannot shoot 3 pointers as most NBA stars do, because like the saying "No Man is an ISland" he also need to have a superstar teammate like the other team does.
