    Let's not get crazy. Still don't have a bench and first year together with Bosh in the line up. And let's not forget the HC is still McHale.

    I'm thinking more like 22-28.

    I just don't see the Rockets winning more regular season games than the Spurs or OKC, and maybe not even the Clippers.

    It was $8.3M against the cap, the ACTUAL cash we paid out was $5M for the first 2 years.

    Voted no until I saw it was a first round pick for next season. Didn't want to give up a 1st round pick to trade him, but I guess the Rockets had no other options. I change my vote to yes. Never was a fan of Lin because I thought he was overrated in NY. Hope his career is better in LA vs being the most hated Rocket in Houston.

    The cash we got back from the Lakers is the most important key in this trade, it will be used to pay for the Melo photoshop poster expense.

    Oh man -- that is a steal for the Rockets. See, Hinkie wasn't trying to raise the price on us, the Lakers just decided to give away their cap space at rock bottom prices because they actually kinda wanted Lin -- whereas the Sixers may have even cut him.

    So, we traded Lin, Asik and our 1st rounder next season for the Pelicans Lottery Pick next year. That is stellar man.

    I adamantly deny these allegations of racism. I'm just happy to see someone fight back against fans who are racist themselves and blame a coach for doing his job of having the best players on the floor when it counts most.

    I accidentally voted no because I thought it was the NOP pick. Don't stone me to death.
