    I honestly don't think he can answer that on a public forum.

    Realistically, who would want to come to Houston?

    Who wouldn't? It's not like the Rockets are a bad team, I'd imagine most players would want to join a team on the rise.

    Out of curiosity, from what I keep hearing the Phoenix Suns medical staff is insanely good. Does this bear out in your experience with perception around the league?

    Are you allowed to share which team(s) have the worst medical staff, and perhaps where the Rockets fall in this spectrum?

    Rockets are to par and they are happy Houston has such a great medical staff (around the area) team doctors etc.

    They Rockets have great doctors but don't pay top dollar for the best amenities.

    Youngest team in the league, top 3 offense, playoff contender, one of the most exciting teams in the league to watch, superstar, excellent role players, player friendly coach, huge city/market, added Asian market revenue, no state taxes, low cost of living, great food, attractive women, sweet ketchup and mustard alternates...

    Bingo. Just help him secure endorsements. Or hire him for a second job as a "PR Guy"

    Neither of those two options are allowed. Unless you want the league to find out and then fine the Rockets by stripping them of draft picks or something.

    Interesting, but not surprising. Lin has had to sacrifice his game quite a bit this year. Is the front office optimistic about them working it out? Do they even have a strategy/plan on how they can play together or is it up to lin and harden to figure out for themselves? Or will Lin most likely be relegated to a 6th man role considering that they won't trade him unless it's for a superstar?

    LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony; the only two superstars in the FA class.

    There is a growing suspicion that Phoenix' medical staff may look less exceptional if the Association goes through with significant PED testing.

    1 year/$8M, I would do that. Especially if we don't get Dwight, I don't want to sign somebody just because we have money. if Bynum doesn't pan out, we'd still have cap space for the next FA summer.
