    Unfair? It's not like we cut him after 10 games

    You two are like CC Sabathia and Bartolo Colon arguing if you should eat at Golden Carral or Cicis Pizza.

    The Rockets better NOT be trying to bring Jeremy Lin back. Just rehashing all the stupid turnovers makes me angry. Y'all want this back?

    Is Meloof related to Milf or I just have too much drinks?

    PEOPLE: THIS IS ALL FAKE!!

    Please stop saying 'I'm not sure if I want Lin back' - it is NOT happening. There is no source other than jpotmac's imagination.

    lin isn't the target. he's an ending contract that can bring us the player we want. knight's contract, even with a pick, isn't desirable for a team trying to win. cap relief, lin, is a much more attractive asset. i'm thinking an ending contract would make a lot of sense for james johnson, mo harkless, or marvin williams.

    however, if you think waiving qi means we are splitting knight into two cheaper contracts i'd imagine sending lin back to ny for lee/vonleh makes sense since the knicks want to move lee for capspace.

    Wouldn't help if Melo had a whole conglomerate of fans
    Jeremy Lin is one of the most turnover prone players I've ever seen. His basketball IQ is the worst. Knight isn't the right comparison

    Fail.

    It isn't about Lin, because there is no deal in the works for Lin. There is no source. It is a figment of the OPs imagination.

    Instead of posting in the random trade threads, he creates a new thread every time and pretends to have a source. Just ban him already.

    Screw Atlanta. They don't want to give us Daedmon, Bazemore, or Tauren Prince. We shouldn't care about Lin. We should be only focused on consistently decent shooters or defenders at this point.

    LOF will break this site and it could crash for good if Lin comes back... RIP

    Lin is better right now than Brandon Knight, only because Knight is injured. Lin is a better defender than him, but that isn't likely to help the Rockets because of his fragile ego.

    Which version? This Brandon Knight sucks but isn’t game ready. Peak Brandon Knight was really good. Phoenix Brandon Knight was accused of not trying so its hard to evaluate.

    I hear you, but how can Lin be flipped since the December 7th deadline is long gone? I hope Chriss can give us some good games, along with Hartenstein. They perhaps could be traded by the Feb 7th deadline.

    Peak Brandon was good. Let's see what can he do with some more time.
    When Brandon reported to Phoenix after surgery, they were surprised to see him in a positive frame of mind.
    If he doesn't work hard, he will be out of the league.
