Jeremy Lin will visit the Houston Rockets tomorrow

I don't get this. There statistics are pretty much identical. One is 4 years younger and has played 64 NBA games and the other has played 271. And yet the younger guy with less experience will not improve? SMH

 

These are his stats after he was exposed by the heat
Under dantoni

Cleveland: 19 points 5 rebounds 13 assist 1 steal 1 TO*
Boston: 14 points 4 rebounds 5 assist 1 steal 6 TO*
Dallas: 14 points 3 rebounds 7 assist 2 steal 2 TO*
Spurs: 20 points 3 rebounds 4 assist 3 steal 1 TO*
Bucks: 20 points 1 rebound 13 assist 4 steal 5 TO*
Sixers: 14 points 3 rebounds 7 assist 2 steal 6 TO*
Bulls: 15 points 1 rebound 8 assist 3 steal 3 TO*

under woodson--at this point the knicks were playing so well that starters were not 4th quarters in atleast 3 of the games

Portland: 6 points 4 rebounds 6 assists 2 steals 6 TO's
Pacers: 13 points 5 rebounds 5 assists 0 steals 3 TO's
Pacers: 19 points 7 rebounds 6 assits 1 steal 2 TO's
Toronto: 18 points 3 rebounds 10 assists 1 steal 3 TO's
Philadelphia: 18 points 5 reboubnds 4 assists 1 steal 2 TO's
Toronto: 6 points 1 rebounds 4 assists 0 steals 3 TO's
Detroit: 13 points 3 rebounds 3 assits 2 steals 7 TO's

 

Yao Ming disagrees. And so does yi jian yi in his rookie year with the bucks.

 

Huh? He has only had surgery once in his enitre life and that was after the stupid ex knicks coach rode him like the secretariat (his words). He went from 0 minutes to 35+ minutes overnight. No surprised that he was eventually injured.

 

New York will match this offer..Morey have to up their to something like 4year 32 Mil.

I hope Morey can get it done. I am half Taiwanese and it would be cool to see a Taiwanese player in Rockets uniform.

 

it'll be funny if we end up with lin, and the knicks end up with dragic, lol

 

That's why it will be hard for them to match. Chandler and Melo more important than Lin, Amare may be literally unmovable with declining production, health issues (and no insurance available), and that contract.

 

we would have to overpay a ton for NYK not to match, I just don't see it

 

Or do a deal like the one they did to the Bulls & Asik.

Make it "painful" for the Knicks to match it, just like Chicago...

 

Actually your offer would be more likely to be matched than the reported. the goal is to hit nyk hard in the pocketbook in 2014 because they will owe a ridiculous amount of money to just melo, stat, chandler, and Lin (like over 120mil)

 

not this **** again hes a nobody cmon RESIGN DRAGIC AT ALL COST!!!!!!!
get er done moreyyyy!!

 

Looks like it's Courtney Fortson's time to shine.

On second thought, looking at the Knicks commitments in 2014-2015, we could really make it painful on them ala Asik.

Can someone figure what the tax penalty might be based on Larry Coon's chart?

30 pages? no wonder Les wants Lin

 

If the Rockets are truly serious about getting Lin I'll betcha they pull the same kind of contract trick on NY that they did on Chicago.

I also bet the NBA looks to close up this loophole Houston is exploiting sometime in the future...

 

Look overall i think Dragic is the better player of the two, but Lin will do just fine if Dragic does leave.

 

Lin is still just the back-up plan right?
(missed a few hours poppin fireworks)

 

Dont think so. Lowry is gone in one deal or another.

 

Only Morey knows for sure!

 

Lin wont sign on as a backup.
