    Morey gets Manager of the Year if he lands Howard.

    If he gets Lin, he loses it. :)

    lol. You really don't understand me or my motives in running ClutchFans. We were here way before Yao, during Yao and now long past Yao. I don't need "cash cows" or gimmicks.

    Building a title contender -- that's what I care about. I'm not impatient either... prefer the slow rebuild over the risky quick fix.

    We have better odds at landing Dwight Howard than Jeremy Lin. I don't care how insane that sounds, it's the truth. Jeremy Lin's salary pays itself in an Asian market like NY....they aren't going to be scared off by a dollar amount when it comes to him.

    Do people really think Lin is good?

    He averages 5 TOs a game when he was playing in those 12 -15 games without carmelo. His Assist to turnover ratio was terrible!

    Tell you what. If he can keep Dwight and get Lin then yes its no doubt from me at least. If he can get Bynum then thats decent too since Bynum would actually stay most likely.

    Yes, against non playoff teams. He was exposed vs. Heat.

    don't tell me that unless you get rid of all those online advertisements. Guess you must be happy to lose 2 million dollars to exchange a title won by Rockets.

    Didn't realize the Mavs and Lakers were non-playoff teams. And the Heat focused on him like a superstar. He was hardly exposed. He was an undrafted, virtual "rookie" who'll get better with experience.

    So you actually think the Lin deal is bad? I don't really see that. If we still had Lowry or Dragic on the roster, then sure.

    Right now our point guard situation is pretty cringe-inducing... Lin looks like a pretty clear upgrade.

    Lakers and Mavs, terrible road teams. Heat played like they always do, switch on pick and rolls. And that's all he know. He is back up point guard at best, shoot first player, no left hand, suspect jumper, terrible defender.

    I view this question as "if McHale takes the current Rockets roster to the final, will he win coach of the year title."

    If Knicks want to win like the Heat, they decline Lin, but if they don't want to lose a lot of the fan base nationally/internationally, they will sign him like most of Knicks fans want. Chris Paul recently declined Clippers extension while Blake Griffin accepted, the only place where he can play with a built team is the Knicks because Lakers has Nash, Bulls has D.Rose, Heat has D.Wade, Celtics has Rondo and Nets has D.Will. The Mavs could be an option, but the team is missing a lot of parts. It is not as easy as it seems because Paul is a major upgrade over Lin/Kidd, so I think the Knicks are going to be in a mess this year and the next.

    I would give him that award if he gets both players AND both stayed with the team for a while...
