    If Lin signs with the Rockets, and the Knicks don't match, what are the chances of Dwight Howard consider moving to Houston?

    Who would the Rockets have to package for Dwight Howard? Assuming he's remotely interested with the Rockets assuming Lin is already onboard?

    Lin would be a starting SG.

    Idk, but I think the plan is to get Lin to attract Howard because of the marketability Lin has, especially in Houston.

    Lol, so Nash, Lin and Melo at the 1-2-3... They're going to give up 120 a night.

    Guys from here. Reuniting Morris twins for one? Livingston to get the dollars to work. Knixies send Douglas. At end of day everyone is happy. Including Rox cap BTW.

    Lin never even heard of playing without the ball. His stats were product of D'antoni offense. And they were nothing special, if you consider he was averaging 4.8 TO per 36 mins.

    Yep, it would be 7.5. Knicks would pay five the first two and ten the second two.

    Lin isn't a poor defender. Chandler cancels out a lot of the bad defense.

    I dont think NY is dumb enough to do this. Tyson Chandler may be the best defensive anchor but he's not that good.

    Lin isnt in Amare tier in terms of defense but he isnt exactly good either. He's below average imo.

    He isn't bad at the one, but he is at the two. Lin v. D Wade? :eek:

    Lin is not poor defender, he is terrible, especially on-ball defense. He just gamble in passing lanes for steals, that doesn't make him even average defender.

    Knicks have to trade 5 guys: Balkman, shumpert, douglas, Gadzuric, and Jordan.....to get Nash for about $30 million over 3 years.

    Only one guy PHX essentially gets out of the deal, an injured Shumpert. All the rest are salary cap fodder.

    Lin makes smart ball handling decisions, has a decent shot and is good on D... what's not to like?
