    Yea, this is of course not going to happen. See MDA.

    I sure hope in a couple weeks this is not what we are looking at.

    Been there, done that. Time to move on.

    I'd seriously take Parsons back. He's the best sidekick to Harden, and our best version of Shawn Marion to play in MDA's system. Now Lin? OH HELL NAW. I'd rather have a missing roster spot than take Jeremy Lin back. The Rockets would lose a lot of respect getting that fool back

    Brian T. Smith is an idiot that would rather write trash pieces for the Chron than anything that actually has substance. Don't trust anything he says.

    Well, one way to improve chemistry on the team...

    I am not advocating signing them. But not 100% against it either.

    Parsons wouldn't be that bad.
    At a reasonable price of let's say- 12 mil a year. He'd be a perfect stretch 4 in small ball

    Parsons is talented, but his knee is balky as hell.

    Lin? We could use another playmaker, in case we don't land another.

    But is Adam Clanton digging deep into his culo on this one, just because he hasn't heard of other free agent possibilities? The Rockets organization could be playing it close to the vest as far as who they'll meet with.

    Yep, but the reality is that he'll get paid twice that number.

    Just get full team of pure shooters

    We would win championship multiple times easily with pure shooters

    Stop getting big names in free agency

    If Jeremy Lin was never a Rocket i think people would love the move.

    A guy who dropped about 20 when he started and is a playmaker off the bench who can take the pressure off of Harden? Sure! But we've seen this experiment before (albeit a different coach) but it doesn't seem to work.

    As for Parsons, balky knees means no long term deal. If he'll settle for a 2 year contract with an opt-out after next year because he wasnt to bet on himself next year? then why not.
