    Wow. And with that said, please don't say you are a Lin fan.

    People need to thank their stars that we didn't endup with Tinsley.

    Could actually mean the opposite. If Canaan impressed at the team gathering in LA, that may have made the Rockets more comfortable with the idea of trading Lin or Beverley.

    I'm not saying this is a maxim or anything, but since when does salary automatically equate to talent?

    That is unless you think Agent 0 is worth that 20+ million he's getting paid this year or that Chandler Parson's is grossly overpaid....

    For those thinking Caanan won't count as a roster spot on the Rockets if he plays in RVG then you are wrong.

    the Asik, Lin, Jones and picks to Portland for LMA rumor gains a little more steam.

    It's HAPPENING!

    Still takes up a roster spot though, even if he spends his entire rookie year in the D-League.

    I would have rather have Nate but AB is probably cheaper.

    Anyway. Let the trade rumors begin.

    It's certainly possible Brooks will be PG3 next season, but also possibly it means we may see a Lin trade. We will see.

    Anyway, excited for Brooks to be back. Great fit here!

    Maybe some relief for Lin on Clutchfans?

    Brooks has always been a polarizing figure on here for the last several years. Now we'll have plenty of debates about him too. Maybe it's something about point guards?

    It doesn't "automatically" equate to talent, but when you are an unrestricted free agent and you can't get any more than the minimum, there's a reason for it. Apparently there are some Rockets fans who were really impressed by his 11% 3 point shooting against the Thunder in the playoffs last year while filling in, but I just don't see him as any more than a fringe NBA player at this point.

    And that's what he basically always does with his draft picks.

    I suspect a third team Portland already has Lillard who is far superior to lin.
