    Rox fans think Dragic is better than Lin, but does the rest of the league? I am guessing no. I will be surprised if Dragic signs for more than Lin.

    Lin will bring $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to Les

    and people outside Houston will follow the Rockets again because of him

    we might finally be back on ESPN


    truth is we aren't close to contending and superstars aren't coming here

    Lin will play alot better with no ball hoggin' superstar on this team.

    PG: Lin
    SG: Lamb
    SF: White
    PF: Jones
    C: Asik


    It will be fun ball.

    True. Daryl might be thinking this will set the market when NY matches & Dragic will accept similar money. Ballsy, but what other option is there.

    why lowballing?

    Lin can bring all that amount of money in one month.

    They should condition the final 2 years on him not sucking

    If this is actually true, and Clutch himself suggested as much, then it is more disgusting than the offensive shirts they used to make the girls wear.

    Because he's abusing it on guys that aren't much better than the cheaper options already on our roster.

    OK, let's think this through. All reports are that Nash wants NY, Suns will SnT but Knicks have very little with which to SnT.

    Enter Lin and the Rox. Knixies/PHX/Rox get together for SnT's of Nash and Lin with pieces going from ToyShop to desert.

    Bingo: Win-Win-Win.
    (and Colangelo the younger is the loser)

    Exactly. Lin is way cheaper than Goran.

    I'm sure they'll match if he doesn't get the fourth year.

    Glad for Jeremy Lin. Wasn't he subject to racism and ridiculed? Take that biactch!

    Today is a victory for everyone who has had to overcome tremendous adversity and told you can't do this.

    Lin deserves just as much money as Dragic. They showed exactly the same amount of production last year and Lin is 2 years younger. If anything, Lin should be paid more than Dragic.
