    JLin is at 65/70% right now. I don't expect him to even be in game shape until the end of december. He'll get in a groove right around the all star break.

    I will say one thing, during Lin's first 2 free throws, the crowd was chanting "over-rated." On his last two, those words were unheard. Dragic is playing in Phoenix, either follow him there, or just give it up. It's sad to see your longing for Dragic.

    You tried to explain with wrong numbers. Your base argument has a glaring hole, and anything stated beyond that has a shaky foundation.

    Dragic never had a stretch like Lin, and considering it was Lin's first year starting while Dragic was in the league awhile, you can see why Lin was more desirable. Not to mention he's 3 years younger.

    well, not was more desirable, but could be more desirable.

    I am a Rocket fan. One that agrees and disagrees with the direction of the team. I don't own the team. I don't run the team. But I don't blindly agree with every move. True fans are entitled to that. I am not a DOF so personally I couldn't care less for the Suns. Le$ wanted the LOF money...so do your share to support the team.

    There's no reason to go beyond that. If you don't show knowledge of the games, by getting information correct, you show that you are a casual fan. I don't need to read your assessment, since you are just a casual fan. Your argument disappears once I realize that.

    Every Tom Dick and Harry has an opinion. The key is to give merit to the opinions of informed posters, you are not one of them. Morey has done a great job this offseason, and you would have a hard time arguing with any Rockets fan right now, about his offseason additions and subtractions. Come back when they lose, or when you can get the facts straight.

    No he hasn't but Dragic wasn't ever cut to keep Flynn. Lin was almost cut from NY but injuries gave him his shot.

    Lin had a stretch and I would love to see him pick that back up. I still don't think it was smart to let Dragic go for a chance at a player who had a short stretch before an injury.

    Houston offered Dragic a very fat contract, very similar to what Phoenix gave him, but he wanted that player option on the 4th year. Dragic wasn't cut, or traded, he left to pursue the contract he wanted.

    Lin was barely at the Rockets training camp last season, and he outplayed Flynn (this is what I got from other posters from GARM from last year), but he was cut because Flynn had a guaranteed contract.

    Dude, your arguments are week, and you have comprehension issues, as well as issues with getting the facts straight. There's no point in giving anything you say any weight. I'm done with you.
