With D’Antoni just awaiting for his official appointment as the new head coach of the Denver Nuggets, it is likely that his first order of business is to get a point guard for his team, whom he has known for some time. And there’s no other point guard in the free agency whom he knows better than the 26-year-old Harvard graduate.
Assuming that the Nuggets deal Lawson and take on Lin for the point guard spot in its roster, they’re actually not giving too much in the deal.
While Lawson’s per game numbers of 15.2 points and 9.6 assists is better than Lin’s 11.1 points and 4.6 assists per game, the American-Taiwanese point guard is capable of putting up bigger numbers if he’s given the opportunity to do so as he has shown during his performances with the Los Angeles Lakers after the NBA All-Star break.
Definitely would be better off with the Mav then any other team. Going to any other team would mean that he would the the only one really scoring. I think playing with former teammates will definitely bring the sync game on faster. I really hope that Jeremy picks a team that will get him to finals rather than for the money but who knows.
Playing for Dallas? Denver? I thought he only plays for SkyDaddy!
