    Are you sure about that? Brooks is the 3rd pg w/out question while Lin may become our version of Manu/Harden (circa OKC)/Jarrett Jack (circa GSW last year). Not sure where the sharing minutes w/ Brooks is in "Sarcasm" lol

    According to my calculations Lin is 5X's better that Beverley.Thus ,he will bring to the hardwood 5x's the skills that Beverly does. This may justify a 30$ contract as it is what a baller brings to the table and not his salary that determines his contribution to the team.

    People read material that is 10 years old. I just watched a bulls playoff game from the 90's.Lin's stint was only less than two years ago.

    Why do people on this board trash other people who recently joined clutchfans
    Some of us have been rockets fans for a long time and just because
    The date on our ( or at least my) profile say 2013, doesn't mean we don't know much. I hVe been reDing clutchfans since back when Yao first entered the league
    Just never got around to joining for some reason

    Scott "the Answer" Machado, Toney Douglas, Patrick Beverley, "Canaanball", Mchale, Sampson and the Lin haters have been trying to find anyone as a replacement for Lin ever since he became a Rocket.

    Yes, it's a shame that Jeremy will now never get to play with Dwight, since McHale never plays the starters and reserves together all the time.

    hbomb - you are majorly overreacting! : ) Lin is not going to share minutes with Aaron Brooks. : ) That is not happening.

    Maybe Lin only gets 26 minutes, maybe more, we'll see. It depends. There are a lot of things we don't know yet --- there are still a lot of moving pieces. But one thing's for sure, Lin is still the second best play maker on this team, and that's still crucial for the Rockets.

    lin pushes the tempo on offense, without him offense slows down to a grind
