    Yes. It's a pity. Few assits. He's got to do better to be on my team. Are you saying that he has topped out.

    Only 5 guys are equal or better than Lin in Free agency

    Jarrett Jack- wants to stay in GSW

    Chris Paul-Not coming here:mad:

    Brandon Jennings- wants 10+ million/Ineffective chucker :eek:

    Jose Calderon-old and needs the ball more than Lin/Bad defender

    Kyle Lowry- contract not fully guaranteed/ Hates current coach

    so I'm 90% sure Lin will start next year for Houston

    Lin will probably put up 15/7 next year, 10% chance he puts up 17/7

    Houston will win 50+ games next year, add Howard or Paul = closer to 60 wins

    Only five guys hunh, lol. I don't even feel like explaining anymore. Let's hope Daryl Morey is smarter than Lin fans.

    I love Lin. I was furious when the Rockets let him walk. I thought they paid too much to get him back. I have never thought he was an NBA starter, but potentially a very good bench player. i still feel the same way. I like Beverly, love his passion, energy, etc. I but like Lin, I don't see him as an NBA starter, I just don't. It will be interesting to see what the Rocket's think.

    Why do we have to pick from only free agents?? Not only that but who says that non starters from around league who get paid less can't start and be able to produce 10 - 13 ppg at a better shooting percentage.

    Lin isn't going Anywhere....and Chris Paul would never come to houston, to play next to harden who's ball dominate.

    Plus if you think the problem with the rockets is the back court, I don't think so.....harden a Lin were the top scoring back court in the NBA. The problem is down low. And with Lin playing PH this team was the top scoring team in the NBA? They are not gong to throw that away.....don't let hate for Lin drive you.

    They need help down low.....how about get a quaity 4... And upgrade the bench BIG time?

    Yeah, I'm sure he would be as effective as your are at evaluating talent.

    And it's obvious that your unable to list all those other pgs who would be able to put up Lin's numbers for cheaper as you claimed.

    Lin was wht 17 and 7 over the last2 months...something like that right?
    I like this team. Young and lots of room to grow....lins not going anywhere and it would be NUTS to get rid of asik....find a great 4 and build the bench

    I am not unable I simply refuse BECAUSE IT'S COMMON SENSE. We took a guy from the D-League and he is comparable to Jeremy Lin, lol. Give him more minutes and trust me we would win more. Some players just fit better than others on certain teams.. So liking J Lin is not the problem I like him just fine but I would trade him and asik tomorrow if it meant netting just one more superstar.

    As a team we are trying to get better, do I like Jeremy Lin as a guy! Hell Yes as a starting point guard on the ROCKETS hell no.

    Lins shooting percentage after the break was pretty darn good wasn't it?
    50 from the field and 40 from 3?

    Not sure but I thought so...lets talk about hardens shooting percentage?
