    I generally feel that we've seen the best of Lin, and if I had to guess, his play will decline. With Dragic, I feel his play will sustain the same level or improve.

    He played hungry as a backup, then got full of himself as a starter, and stopped pushing the ball and hustling, played more like Aaron Brooks than his old self, including being bad on D.

    He got the contract, and got fat.

    Have to say...I personally really LIKE Jeremy Lin. Seems like a good dude. He'd be really easy to root for.

    Yeah. I have no problem with him back if Goran is gonna definitely leave. The question is can his production stay the same? Another question is if New york can match or if Lin is serious about coming back?

    Right now its looking like we will lose Dragic. He has to be replaced with Lowry disgruntled and wanting the coach gone. Unless Lowry can come to terms with the coach.

    I like Dragic better, but i would rather take Lin at 5millish/year compare to what Dragic wants.

    The thing is you can't get Lin at 5m a year. Knicks would match that in a heartbeat. The real number to pull him away would be about 8m a year, similar to the Asik deal.

    Les wanting to get those Chinese sponsors back.....this is getting ridiculous. The Rockets are becoming as irrelevant as the Astros.

    Texans training camp....a few weeks away.....woohoo.....

    Part of it is his role changed. He was no longer the energy guy off the bench. Rockets asked him to score and pass more for longer stretches. If they had a more consistent scorer on the team then the burden on him would have decreased.

    Dragic/Lowry had the ball in their hands way to much. They are good but are no where near the level to carry a team like that.

    Morey is a JOKE of a gm

    these articles that keep coming out on free-agents, are making me laugh. I dont know what to think

    Morey waives Jeremy Lin to keep a crappy PG in Johnny Flynn.. and then our potential all-star pg in Lowry gets injured... and our backup( who is in a contract year.. plays his ass off to get paid). Then to top it all of off Daryl Moron says they will try and sign Dragic( which means they are cutting ties with Lowry). Not knowing if Dragic even wants to sign here.. lol

    And now the PG that Morey waived in training camp, is a big time free-agent, and will now ask for 8 million dollars( when we could have signed him to a mininum contract)

    This is just too funny

    Yao has as much a relationship with Lin as Dirk does with Chris Kaman.

    Play games like this with Dragic and it could backfire. If he walks and NY matches our offer to Lin, what then? Sign Ramon Sessions to a multi-year deal?

    Sounds like he wants similar figures to what Dragic is demanding.
