*My comment from another thread

People keep saying... what happens when teams put the "locks" on Lin. But are we forgetting that after everything died down and everyone was relatively healthy... they were playing pretty well

Are we forgetting that two other people on the court will be Carmelo Anthony and (hopefully) a healthy Amare'... and teams are putting a lock on Lin?... lmao

Are we forgetting that this is the reason that they picked up Jason Kidd, because regardless of how hold he his, teams can't just stop him or fluster him. He's not gonna be running around the court and scoring anymore... but he's gonna get the ball where it needs to go with minimal turnovers.

Lin doesn't need to be a superstar... Lin doesn't even need to be a star. All Lin has to do is be an above average point guard and nothing more. Anything else is a bonus. He's not getting paid star money.... so why are people judging him like a star? He's getting the money of any other young quality player in the league.

P.S.

People keep talking about Kidd and Camby not being "game-changers" or Big signings....

Do people realize that the starting line-up includes Carmelo, STAT, Chandler, Lin and Shumpert?

They don't need any BIG moves. They need to solidify a bench and role players. Like a backup point guard who won't make mistakes (Kidd) or a backup center that can keep up defensive intensity (Camby). These are BENCH players

Then they still have JR and Novak coming off the bench... all they need is a quality SG or SF who can create his own shot (efficiently), and they are legitimate title contenders
