Lin to the Raptors a good idea? Lin Raptors Plan B? (168)

[mcHAPPY]

It's a gigantic mistake. He doesn't protect the ball, he's not that fast and he has no proven track record. Are Raptors fans going to enjoy 5 or 6 turnovers per game? Are they going to enjoy watching a fast break PG try and break guys down in a half court setting? Jose Calderon is a better defender. The recipe to me tastes like crap.

Oh yeah, I should have answered the first question in original post:

"... should Toronto look at acquiring Lin?"

To start? Definitely not.
To backup? Maybe but I would imagine his asking price is now overly inflated.

Carmelo goes down. Jeremy emerges out of nowhere and propels the Knicks to .500. He shows that he can be a quality, balanced pg in the NBA, especially with some good coaching and development.

Anthony comes back, no chemistry with Lin; doesn't want to share the spotlight; doesn't want D'Antoni's ball sharing system...D'Antoni quits.

Now, it seems obvious that there's no cohesion between Lin and Anthony, both stylewise and in terms of vision. It's obvious there's no room for both.

The question is, should Toronto look at acquiring Lin.? If so, how could we make that happen?

Free agency.
