    Lin doesn't care one way or the other. The guys humble. Frankly, I don't care who the face of the franchise is. Let's just build a good team.

    A little worried because both need the ball in their hands. Lin needs to become a better off ball player, but he is hardworking, and I think he can do it. Let's hope his knee holds up.

    Lin just got out of a super team bigger than Harden.

    Just wait until Lin has had a few games under his belt in Houston first. I think that Lin will be the closer in high leverage situations, while Harden will be the volume scorer. Lin=Billups and Harden=Rip Hamilton.

    Lin never wanted to be the face of the franchise. I think he was uncomfortable in that role.

    This does take the pressure off him, and he will finally relax.

    I didn't like Martin's chemistry with Lin, either. I think Harden-Lin is a better fit.

    Funny thing is, Lin like to attack the basket going right, where Harden likes to go left, which is why they will compliment each other pretty well

    In terms of media coverage and marketing it's likely still going to be Lin, at least for the immediate future.

    Royce is the Mental Illness spokesperson of the franchise?

    hahaha, made me burst into laughters

    Pls don't divide the team for this kind of stuffs. I don't care how many faces this franchise will have if it helps to win a title.

    US dollars have many faces, why can't Rox?

    Lin doesn't want to be the face of the franchise, he just wants to play bb and help the team. I'm sure he'll gladly pass that title to Hardin. JLin has a lot of fans worldwide, so yes he will still be the face of the franchise. I hope there is chemistry between Hardin & Lin on the court.

    Harden's going to be able to take ALOT of pressure off of Lin. Can't wait till the season starts :)
