    Agreed. Trade are always hard to pull off, especially on short notice with roster cuts looming. Would not be surprised if Lin ended up back on the roster at some point. Happened with other guys who has been cut before. Hayes, Mike Harris.

    Rockets claimed him just to end up releasing him.... Sucks. Hope Lin finds a good team he can stick with cause he can play.

    Maybe our "assets" are valued as highly as we think they are.

    If "he can play" why did he go undrafted, waived twice and now without a team.

    I'm with you... wouldn't be surprised if he got another look down the road.

    Sounds like they were trying to find a value for Flynn or Dragic. They likely picked up Lin with the hope of being their third point, as we know they tried to trade Dragic earlier. I may be wrong.

    It's kind of hard getting playing time behind Curry in GS and Lowry in HOU.

    An understandable move from a financial standpoint. It is a business after all.Thanks to the Rockets for giving Lin a showcase. Came over to this forum to follow Lin. Bye.

    Daryl was blocked in one of the most suspicious, eyebrow raising series of events in professional sports. By no means, would i consider that getting owned.

    Ish Smith was undrafted. Wes Matthews was undrafted. Chuck Hayes was undrafted. That doesn't mean ****.

    It's clear you just don't like him.

    Daryl and the Rockets were the 3rd party in the trade. Cuban and Stern didn't block the trade because the rockets were receiving Pau; if anyone got 'owned', it was the Lakers.

    Exactly. The holdup with Dalembert was getting ridiculous.

    And as the early season standings will show, Dallas and LA got owned by the new CBA. The winners are the Thunder and Heat as they will be this year's championship contenders.

    Lin was the last PG picked up less than a month ago. I figure he was signed because the Gasol trade was on "go" and Dragic was part of the package going out.

    Lin only became available because he was amnestied, right?

    Charlie Bell was amnestied by GSW. Lin was just waived.
