I've said as much. 2 minutes ago, NBASupes said: Lin wont be ready till December regardless of him saying Training camp. He's not even doing more than 1v1 of yet. Smh. Deal is looking worse and worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping schlenk has another trade on the table though. Cause I’m not so sure Lin is still getting Asian fans out the door abc in the arena. Maybe Addias asked Atlanta to do this and they would globally market the Hawks and Trae Young. Idk Maybe during the season but with Dennis pending case, we just gonna have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koonin must be loving all the marketing he's gonna come up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I been on Reddit where the Asian are in masse, they are talking about buying jerseys, tickets, happy af. This might have been a business move. 13 million for 60 million of profit is a no brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, who's available: Isaiah Thomas, Senlenk, hell no. He wants to start. Michael Carter Williams- wow Rondo- Koonin, he is popluar but he is a winner. Senlenk- wants to win and wants too much money. Senlenk- how about Delaney? Koonin- I couldn't market him to his own momma. Jeremy Lin- Hawksanity. Johns Creek, Duluth, and Doraville are going to me -Koonin We can get on Asian TV too. Wow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted July 13, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 More and more seems like fans are just fans of players and not teams. I don't believe in that but in some ways it almost makes more sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I do think something is in the works for Dennis down the road and that has put the priority on getting not just any PG, but a PG who could mentor Trae and has starting talent. I called this one months ago. Not trading with Denver; many variables. To many to guess on, It is easy to guess Travis turned them down but it is just as easy to guess Denver had this deal in place for weeks with the Nets and did not want to break their word. I won't lose any sleep over it. But those of you who think you can fix the Hawks with your guessing, please feel free to do so, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, when burd says 'they', she's referring to Lin-only fans. Not referring to Asians in general. Not that you can't defend yourself, but I wouldn't want anyone to misinterpret that.

As someone who lives in Houston, no one even the Asians dont give a rats about him. Lin is actually good. That's why he has fans and he's a guard.
