Default Would Jeremy Lin be Linsane again if harden wasn't on the team?

I feel like Harden is the equivalent to Jeremy as Carmelo was. He has the ball so often and it prevents Jeremy lin from averaging 28 and 8. you gotta remember, Lin is still the same player as he was last year. He just hasn't got the opportunity to shine. Harden is doing all of the work. When Lin plays the Warriors though he dominates. I miss him in NY. He should have stayed, but wanted the money.

Yes, Lin is still the same player and he has his best games when Harden is out.

And who exactly would benefit from him averaging 28 on 35%FG, 8 and SIX+ TURNOVERS except for some forum stans?

Even IF Lin was padding up stars. He is far from a finished product.

Having Lin playing off the ball with Harden, is teaching him new skills or a different role.

Jeremy Lin being given full reigns may be good short term but he's doing himself a disservice by padding up his stats.

He will be trapped with hubris and will stop to learn or improve. To me his skills are still raw and he still needs to improve.(who doesn't anyways)

They just both had a good game at the same time (I think it was against Minnesota). They just need to learn to do that consistently and they'll be a potent back court for years to come.
