    Morey has no soul, he'd trade his own Mother if the deal was good enough, and Lin still has value, especially in NBA cities with a large population of engineers. :)

    Hope this happens wouldn't it be ironic if Morey looks dumb twice for dumping him.

    Why does Morey no care about assets? :confused:

    Also, does this mean Morey prioritize Thomas Robinson? :confused:

    Jeremy Lin back to the warriors would be great for the Bay Area fans over there. They were thrilled to have Lin when he was a nobody. Imagine them now. Give us Harrison Barnes.

    If true, Lin will be crushed as he will have been "dumped" by two teams he thought he had a long future with in two consecutive summers.

    And if true, I hope he learns from this experience.

    The question is who will and can take his contract without sending back too much salary so HOU is guaranteed to have enough cap space for Dwight. Which teams have the cap space or trade exceptions to make it happen tonight or in July?

    I would not be surprised if this happens. Everything is done toward getting Dwight. Would not be surprised if it does not, either. This is likely one of several things they are trying to create cap room.

    Lin for a pick instead of TRob would be a Moreyesque out if the blue move

    Wow! Great scoop for Mark Deeks if his sources come through. His career could take off. Best of luck Mark, hope you don't fall flat on your face.

    That said I don't see Lin being dumped if Robinson is traded.

    Only way would be if its a damn good trade, not a salary dump.

    whoever ragged him on about the salary hike, mark deeks is right. He didn't say hike in cap spike but salary spike as in the new team will have to pay that 15 million even though it counts as 8 million for the cap

    someone's looking like an idiot on his twitter where he had to say it 3 times

    I'm not a LOF or a LOH.

    But you guys needs to stop hating on Lin so much. He's a solid point guard.
