    With their mission to get Nash (although that may seem impossible now that Toronto screwed them with the Fields deal), they might just let Lin go imo.

    Lin has barely played in his two seasons and has required surgery each year.

    Good investment Les!

    The Rockets will Triple whatever they spend on Lin in Jersey sells in China! They Know the Power of the Chinese!!! :D haha

    I think he Is overrated and turns the ball over to much but there are worse players in the NBA...

    I actually would have no problem with Lin. If they could get him for maybe $2-3 million less than Dragic then that leaves them monies to spend elsewhere (perhaps a back-up point guard if they trade Lowry.

    this franchise is such a joke. They want to overpay Lin so Les' pockets can overflow with Chinese money, but they won't sign Dragic for 2-3MM more than Lin when he is twice the player Lin will ever be

    How do you know Dragic is twice the player? He might end up being just that, but there is no way to know that currently. They both had about a month of great play at the point position. Neither has done enough to prove that they are going to be great or going to be flops.

    Darren Collison put better numbers than Gogi his rookie year for about a 4 month strecth. No where is Collison.. backing up Hill in Indy

    Giving Dragic 10 million would all but seal too me, that he is a very overrated GM

    Even Mark Cuban doesn't believe Goran is worth the money, and the Mavs have Nash, Kidd and Lin on their list. According to Woj

    I feel like this is a waste of time. The Knicks are going to match on Lin. All this will do is tie up Rocket money for 3 days if they make an offer to him.

    All of this!

    An offer to Lin, Lin would be making like 6M on average. And as Feign points out, their numbers are basically the same. AND Lin wouldn't mind coming off the bench, while Morey looks to move Lowry, eventually. And as somebody in here said, we've seen Lin make teammates better. Goran, not so much.

    "I used to play a mean basketball, until I took an arrow to the knee."

    I really hope they can sign Lin so I can start watching Rockets again, the potential for drama is endless! LMAO! Also I've got a feeling that Les is somewhat troubled by the absence of Chinese advertisers from Toyota Center, Lin will surely fix this for him.

    You know I started to think look what happened to Raymond Felton when he got traded what if the same thing happens to Lin?

    At least the Rockets are doing something what that is I don't know. Well that's nothing knew anyway lol.

    Trade Budinger for pick

    Trade Dalembert and pick for pick and rotation players.

    Give Asik 3 year agreement.

    Now this whole PG debacle. Overpay Dragic? Trade Lowry? Sign Lin? Sign Machado all of these scenarios I'm going over in my head are giving me a headache.

    Lin + Chinese money vs. Dragic + White money

    Tough call.
