    Lin is ready to go.

    Make the trade with Minnesota, and manage to get Jack for the second unit.

    Guy is underrated, and probably the best midrange shooter off the dribble in the league.

    Looks like Rocket will get something major here. Max contract? Love, Melo, Bosh, or Lebron?

    What? Why are you jumping into a situation you don't understand what's going on? You don't know the context of my post and refuse to do the simple legwork to understand it then you don't deserve to comment on it

    its a seperate trade not even involving the Rockets. Jack costs to much and would prevent what we are striving for. Love Jack, but not right now

    Lin's been ready to go for weeks now. This isn't anything new.

    You know what you're right. All your opinions are correct and you have the best takes. You feel better about yourself?

    It feels like that the Rockets are trying to position themselves to be able to offer a max deal to Chris Bosh.

    I think the Melo dance is fading. :-(

    how? Reports saying Rockets, Knicks, Bulls are still in the running. Bosh I dont personally think is worth the Max, anyone feel like he does?

    The real question is a Lin trade ready to go now because they have a commitment or just to show they'll have the cap space for a potential commitment later on.

    You're right that Lin has been ready to go but Morey has been on record saying he only leaves if a max type player is heading to the Rockets. If a Lin trade happens before any official announcement I think its very telling that the Rockets either have gotten a positive response from Melo or a negative response and are moving on to a deal that nets them a third star via trade. I personally don't think Morey moves Lin without knowing he's getting something good in return.

    Yeah Lin trade is taking forever. People mad at Melo because he supposedly wants the money well let me the rockets trade Lin and not be concerned about the money he helps bring in.

    what I don't understand why you aren't trading lin regardless even if there's a deal lined up or not. I'm pretty sure well get someone in free agency!

    Even if were getting for example just a 2nd rounder for lin, I think we should just pull the trigger

    Jarrett Jack up? Hmm, he use to be a tough guy but now after playing on so many bad teams I wonder if that fire he played with in Golden State and New Orleans is still there. If it is he could actually be our starter, if not well at least his contract is reasonable. Hopefully the pick is a first rounder

    For this team I think he is worth it, he's exactly what the Rockets need in a 4, he can stretch the floor, can can play D, he can play the 5 when Dwight sits, and he's already shown he can play well as the 3rd option. I'd be really happy with Bosh. Assuming no other team improves significantly (like the Thunder getting Gasol), I could see the Rockets as the #1 seed if they added Bosh.
