Lin is proven "you can't win with him playing" performance.

I have no idea how Deandre will do or what they think of him.

I wouldn't throw stones from a glass house. I stick by my opinion. RIGHT NOW Kane is better than Nash. Saying otherwise is a "moronic" comment. Marshall had all his points and assists backing up Nash (who missed a lot of games due to injury... hmmmm). The Lakers also were down in most of their games, so any stats he put up are a little inflated. Disagreeing with that is a "moronic" comment. listen man, there's no need to be a dbag. Were all clone fans. Am I little biased, sure, but I'm not blind. Marshall isn't great. Would they cut him for Kane? Not sure. They're not keeping Lin or Nash. Marshall isn't a long term answer. If Kane is good enough, keep him in the d league until you can dump Nash and let Lin's contract expire. I think he makes their d league, and then gets called up. Essentially making the roster.
Marshall did not have all his stats backing up Nash in garbage minutes. As you pointed out, Nash missed most of the entire season, starting only 10 games. Marshall started 45 games and averaged 8.8 apg (in just 29 minutes a game, no less). That's THIRD in apg in the NBA. True Marshall is not much of a scoring threat but come on. Are you really going to go with the "stats inflated because they were losing so bad" argument? This isn't the NFL.

So it's impossible for inflated stats in the NBA because it's not the NFL? The Lakers still played their starters. Other teams didn't. Hence why I never said Marshall got his stats inflated backing up Nash. I just said all his stats are inflated cause he played in garbage time.

But inflated all the way to third in the NBA in assists per game? There were a lot of bad teams in the NBA and none of them had a PG who racked up 8.8 assists per game last year. I think you might just be seeing this how you want to see it.

Watching Marshall vs Memphis from 2013. Just catching the last 8 minutes. Kind I'd cool to see deandre and know that the next year he would be ours.

He definitely checked her out at the end

Dang! He really did! I just watched the video and noticed that as well. I also noticed he did take a quick glance at the beginning. Wondering what she was wearing that we could not see on camera...
