    It's an easy quiz. Who's the best asian player in rocket's history.

    We can't offer him any of the MLE because we need to save that for Josh. Perhaps a sign and trade for Papa's non-guaranteed contract? Or perhaps Brewer if he doesn't opt out?

    If he comes back on beverly's contract i'll be happy to take him back. Anything higher than 3 million i wouldn't even consider.

    Just media fluff. He'll be out of the league if teams can see him from from a talent only perspective. Not reliable even as a 3rd stringer.

    I don't mind having Lin back, he is a spark off the bench and I actually enjoyed the defense offense switch at the PG position. Obv. not my number one choice, but I don't see us realistically getting anyone that good.

    Is Russia considered Asian? or Israel?

    Then I vote Alexey Shved or Omri Casspi.

    Except Aaron Brooks was damn good and won the rockets a playoff series. Lin made sure to lose at least two playoff games.

    Howard Beck, sorry, we don't believe you.

    This is typical Morey misdirection before he swoops down to get someone totally unexpected.

    As long as we get to round up the LOFs and deport them to the moon and not letting Lin finish games.

    I'm be fine with that.

    Bring him back for 3 million and then sit him during the playoffs.

    If I have to see Lin run into traffic, pick up his dribble and turn the ball over in a Rockets uniform again I'm going to die
