    There are reasons why Jeremy's annual salary is a million dollars more than Dragic's. Lin is the better player now and has more potential because he is younger.

    No he's not the better player. Jeremy's salary's lower than Dragic too.

    Dragic showing that he's a damn good PG. Sadly, his price tag was unreasonable so I don't blame Morey for letting him go.

    His price tag was to the dot for his calibur. It was cheap even. Morey not giving the player option just sounds like a cop-out to go after Lin. I would've gone for Dragic, honestly.

    Jeremy's salary is higher per annum but Dragic has an extra year on his contract.

    Lin: 25/3 = 8,3 per year

    Dragic: 30/4 = 7,5 per year

    He does get extra million, if he gets on the all star team, but that is not likely in the next couple of years - Westbrook, Parker, Nash, Kobe, Cp3, Harden ... Just not alot of room at guard spot out there.

    It was supposedly about the player option, which is ridiculous, imo. Barring serious injury he'll outperform the contract anyway.

    Salary is 5, 5, 15 for Lin
    only the cap hit is 8.3 across

    So Rockets get a 3.3 million interest free loan the first 2 years to invest :)

    Why is this a Lin vs Dragic thread - I thought it was Dragic watch?

    And a reduced cap hit on the final year. That's Daryl for you.

    I don't know, i think this team can benefit from some psychos

    PG: Lin
    SG: Harden
    SF: Beasley
    PF: J. Smith
    C: Cousins

    I like that line-up

    The reason Lin got the extra million i think is cause there were NO OTHER EFFING POINTGUARDS LEFT!!! They had to choose between lowry and mchale, and they chose mchale obviously. Lin is getting paid to be devin harris. Have a look at his numbers so far this year and tbh lin looks like a bargain.

    Look at Lowry or Dragic's numbers, too.
