    You don't need to root for him. You can root for whatever you want. I just told the truth-- Morey made a big mistake to sign him with that poison bill and will be laughed at by people in the history. I don't care where Lin goes. But this whole thing is really ridiculous.

    Thank you. I won't be too involved in this 'real world'. The real world for me is to work and take care of my children, and pay attention to people I like :)

    Yeah we're going to get laughed at for letting go a over hyped guard we brought here thinking we would get an all star level but in reality we got a mediocre guard that put up average numbers. such a bigg mistake :eek:

    We should totally turn down players who have proven themselves more, over a player who has not proven himself and has been cut from multiple teams. makes perfect sense.

    I know its a busy night for the Woj's of the NBA, but I feel like if this really had legs to it, you'd hear a little bit more about this potential move.

    Sure the Rockets might be talking to other teams, and his name might be brought up, but that shouldn't be a huge surprise. I also wouldn't be shocked if Asik, Motiejunas, and Jones have had their names mentioned in conversations between Morey & other GM's but it doesn't mean there is a trade that is likely to happen.

    I'll believe it when Woj tweets it.

    Ok guys , if Dwight comes, it's alot of sense to trade Asik instead of Lin.

    anyway why are we still ranting about this? the source (meeks) which got the leak. Doubts that Lin will be traded.

    He made the http://www.shamsports.com/ website.
    He's asking for donations to keep it running.

    Check it out if you have time.

    Does Deeks even realize our cap hit per year is 8.3 mill each year for Lin no matter if we're really paying 5-5-15?

    Or is he one of Broussard's sources?

    In a trade , it takes 2 hands to clap. If trades happens in the way you think. Amare Stat would have been looong gone from the Knicks.

    Dwight is a certainty. I think were also clearing cap for a second star in Josh Smith

    Assuming we go after Howard
    It doesnt make sense from a analytical point of view.. Lin does very well in P/R offense, as does Howard (not sure about Bev's numbers?)

    I suppose if we are desperate to clear cap space, Lin has good trade value which may not be as high after another good but under-expectation season

    I'll pray for you if Lin stays on the Rockets this year.
