I don't think those 7 games were necessarily a "fluke" but I also don't put much stock in them. He averaged what, 6 TOs a game during that time? And he's no better defender than Nash. I also don't put much stock in Bayless' performance as a starter. If I did, I'd much rather just re-sign Bayless than Lin. Your definition of "good numbers" is different from mine, I guess.
There's no contradiction in saying I prefer signing the proven commodity with huge ulterior benefits to the team beyond simple stats, and then looking for your future PG over the next 2 seasons via sign/draft/trade. If you're saying TO could just trade Lin anyway after his contract is no longer healthy, what's your long-term PG answer? Whatever PG plays next year in TO, it doesn't preclude further improving/changing the lineup as time goes on.
