Marketing wise on the court i hope not because he is a good player, but he is nowhere near franchise type player. Not even close.
He never was suppose to be a cornerstone now or future He was suppose to be a piece of a eventual good team
Been saying this from the beginning. He is a way over paid hype machine that will be average to sub par point guard. Should have paid dragic

Do you think they were actually banking on him becoming that cornerstone player? I dont think so. I think they thought him on a 3 year deal would be a good investment, but at the stage the Rockets are at, it was a gamble. Nobody was banking on anything from everything you heard from Morey. Seems like he can be an above average NBA PG when he gains more consistency in his game. This season I think he's going to benefit alot from playing next to Kevin Martin. Teams will really have to account for Martin, and it should take some pressure off in the first few weeks of the season. In a perfect world, you would like to match up up with a nice big P&R low post threat too, but thats not going to happen anything soon. I think Omer can replicate some of the benefits in the P&R that Lin had with Chandler last season. I see an average of 12PPG this season. Turnovers will still be an issue most likely, but as the season goes on, I think he's just going to prove himself to being a solid PG. However, he's definitely not what I would consider a "franchise cornerstone."
How did we lose Dragic again? I thought we were lookiing for future stars? Anyway for Lin to succeed he has to be played like he was played in NY. 1. He has to have the ball 2. He has to look to score It's when he's a scoring threat that defenses adjust and opportunities open up for everybody else. Contrast this with Machado, who has the ability to get everybody going even when he's not really felt as a scoring threat on the floor.
