    Yes, I believe so. Otherwise, Rockets would keep Lin.

    Bosh looking like a great possibility

    I think Morey has been focused on him as well

    Only problem is that he doesn't have Kobe, Shaquille, or Michael this time.

    Would you rather have Love minus assets (Parsons NOP pick) or Bosh AND keep those assets?

    That's the thinking.

    I dont feel like Bosh is worth the full max. though he does fit the rockets better at PF

    All of a sudden, the Bucks want to jump in on this Lin dump-athon, so yeah my opinion is I think something could be happening. This new development coupled with how I thought this would be the day that something would happen, the same day Howard announced his decision last year.

    I am hooked into the laptop today. Bouncing back n forth between my twitter feed & CF. 1.5 hrs til Nick Johnson SL action....:p

    Read Woj's tweet closely. It says the Rockets have the deals lined up. This has been true for weeks now. Morey himself has said the Rockets have deals lined up to create max capspace.

    Now, if Woj actually says "Rockets seeking more offers for Lin" or something, then it would imply the Rockets are immediately dumping him and doing a last-minute check to make sure there are teams with better offers.

    As ESPN reported late Thursday, Houston already courting Bosh in anticipation of Melo staying w/NYK. Must trade Lin to make Bosh big offer

    I'm more than happy for Miami to re-sign Bosh for near max money. It would mean that should the Rockets be blessed enough to advance to the finals, the finals itself would be like clubbing baby seals.

    Love.

    He stretches the floor and actually is willing to bang in the post for rebounds. Really I want no parts of Bosh.

    He's a good player and he fits, but at this point in his career he's a Small Forward and I'm just not sure he's worth the Max and more importantly worth our shot at a championship because he'd be the last big move we could make for some time I think.

    Melo or Love (or maybe even Rondo if that is still on the table) Bosh doesn't appeal to me much.

    Bosh doesn't deserve the max, not after his performance last season. He fits a need but not on a max contract. I'd rather sign Andre Blatche or get T. Jones a trainer LoL

    until a lin trade actually happens, I won't believe we're getting someone.

    Stein's twitter feed. More concrete than "Rockets claim to have deals lined up"
