    Another significant factor in play re: Rockets trying to move Lin - Patrick Beverley is better, and they know it.

    Lin is an absolute cash cow for any team that acquires him, for at least one year. But the big salary hike is coming, & it prohibits Dwight.


    No it doesn't.

    Not the big 'hike' at least. There is no 'hike' salary cap wise.

    But getting rid of Lin makes it easier to sign Dwight, definitely.

    Nothing to see here. He clearly does not know what he's talking about.

    He doesn't seem competent, we can sign Dwight without moving Lin

    Love that Morey is quick to identify a FA fail and rectify his mistake.

    He did the same thing to Ariza, cutting his loss and bettering the team.
