Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

This is the trade thread from the Flyers official site.

Watch as Flyers fans react to the rumors, rejoice when the deal is confirmed, and then eventually find out what they gave up.

This is top flight entertainment.

I did not know they love Sbisa so much. But flyers fan’s suffering is always good entertainment.

Anytime the Flyers suffer is a good day to me.

Wow, that kid looks awesome, wish we had a prospect like that.

That thread is all kinds of Win

So excited and all of sudden BAM all bitter.

Gold… Just gold.

It’s like watching a car accident in slow motion.

Yah, and although the taste of their tears of anguish is like sweet nectar, I can’t help but empathize for all the years of WTF we had to put up with.

Although this is the worst deal I have seen post lockout.

Actually, someone should put together what is nearly universally considered the 5 worst trades post lock out and then have a vote!

Luongo and Kraijcek for Bertuzzi, Allen and Alex Auld. Done.

Not a lot of love for Jones in that thread – except in the “hey-maybe-he’s-good-enough-to-trade-for-Pronger” delusional style.

And I loved the ones who thought they were giving up Smid for Pronger.

I just wish it had been Sbisa for Kubina…

That was great. It’s also wonderful seeing how many fans seem to think it’s Spisa.

by DarrenM on Jun 29, 2009 12:32 AM EDT reply actions  

almost as many fans we have who think it’s pokinarovksi

Possibly the best part was...

the guy who thought Lupul + Briere + Jones would get them Pronger + Giguere.

And they think that Leaf fans overvalue their players!

Every morning should start with such fine entertainment!
