    Lin's health is unreliable so as depth it's a lateral move but if it saves money I guess it's ok.

    Your thread title is misleading and you don’t know what a source is. I don’t care what Shams reported. When you look at the scenario, HOW would we do a three way deal with LA and Phoenix with Ariza and KCPs contracts? Brandon Knight can’t go back to Phoenix. We’re not surrendering EG for KCP and we’re not trading 6 players for 1.

    Remember when SOURCES said Ariza will be bought out in December and then know it alls on this forum said “yeah it’s a wink wink deal between Phoenix and Houston”. Uh huh.

    @Dmo he is not

    I'm only even SLIGHTLY considering this because Lin would now be our 4th guard, not our 2nd guard. He would fit OK as a slasher and pressure reliever, as not a primary decision maker. That is - if he can even still play? Haven't seen his game in years.

    Absolutely not. He's just a volume "random trade idea" generator.

    Where's the link to the source?
    If this turns out to be just made up stuff, Thread starting privileges should be taken away.

    I’d gladly take the player. He’s shooting the ball well and he wouldn’t have to do much creating.

    But I don’t think I can go another round with the fans.

    Bullshit. Ethnicity has nothing to do with mediocrity.

    didn't someone do a handwriting analysis and determine he's FTW or RocketsTruth or someone?

    When does BumOP get slapped on the wrist by the mods for his inane threads?

    There's no source that says the Rockets are trying to acquire Lin and his thread-starting post is a pretty tortured attempt to make it seem possible.

    Well let's put it this way Brandon Knight missed a fast break layup to win a game! You trust him in playoff situations over Lin. As a player whose role is to come off the bench, I am ok with that and also like the fact that it saves the Rockets money.

    Weird. So in this scenario, the Hawks would rather have a player that hasn't played in nearly 2 years that has an extra year on his contract over Lin and his expiring?

    I had hit to "show ignored content" to see OPs post. Saw who it was, and didn't read it. Can we finally ban this dude

    Exactly what I was thinking. It's amazing the kind of crap people believe.

    Lin did that too instead of holding onto the ball and slowing down the game. The fact is, both are mediocre players and as long as we can play them in the 4th on blowouts, I personally don't care which player we have.
