    Simple question. DM took a good deal of heat for letting Jeremy Lin go after he exploded in New York. But now that we have seen all three as starters would you want Lin over either Lowry or Gogi?

    I prefer both Lowry and Gogi over Lin because both are great on the offensive end and both play defense and both protect the ball better than Lin.

    In hindsight Lin is obviously superior to Johnny Flynn but if the Rockets had cut Flynn instead of Lin how would that have impacted the Marcus Camby trade?

    Lin before, "Just being on the Roster for mere seconds gave Dragic and Lowry the Linsight to Lin."

    What would the National reaction be to Dragic if he was playing at his current level with Knicks?

    Dragic and Lowry are easily better than Lin, but because of all the rumors of us getting rid of Dragic at the time, Lin would have been a very suitable replacement.

    Lin is not a better starter than either of them. But he is a better backup because he won't bolt at free agency after the season.

    Seems like silly fans overreacted to Lin and bashed Morey unfairly

    pretty much this lol

    If the Gasol had gone through, we would've lost Dragic and kept Lin. People would've bashed Morey either way because Gogi would've exploded in New Orleans once he got the start.

    They are almost on the same level. But Lin is younger, cheaper to retain. While Lin is the weakest to protect the ball, he is the best to score or draw fouls in clutch time while creating for himself.

    if you voted for anything but "Both Lowry and Dragic are better than Lin" you need to go reevaluate your whole life.

    Goooood question. I think if Dragic was on the Knicks, he would be a household name by now.

    How many games has Dragic started for the Rockets and what's the record during this stretch?

    Small sample size.

    Now why does that argument sound so familiar in talking about Rocket PGs?

    This must be the 10th post covering this area. I thought is was long ago decided that if Dragic or Lowrey were on the Knicks Lin would be riding the pine.

    So STOP with the Lin posts please. You have beaten that donkey to death.
