    What do you guys think? This board doesn't seem to like Lin very much. Heck, I don't even think Clutch likes Lin very much. The Twin Towers don't seem to be working out. Mchale doesn't seem to like Lin very much. Harden doesn't seem to like Lin very much. Sampson doesn't seem to like Lin very much. Asik and Lin both combined for 16 million dollars this year, and a whopping 32 million next year.

    Melo is only 22 million dollars next year. He is thinking of wanting to be traded. Next year is a contract option for him. He's also last year's scoring champ. Great FG%, All-Star, and I have to admit, I think he's much better at ISO than Harden.

    You got 3 superstars on your roster, Howard, Harden and Melo. It's the 3 superstar combo that could win the championship. Think Pierce, Allen and Garnett. Think Wade, LBJ and Bosh. We will have Howard, Melo and Harden.

    For you LOFs out there who is worried that Lin doesn't get any love here, he'll get a whole lot of love back in NY. For all you LOHs out there, you'll finally get rid of all the LOFs!

    LOFs would be happy, LOHs would be happy, Rockets fans should be happy with 3 superstars, Clyde, Worell and Bullard would be happy, heck Clutch should be happy!

    What do you think guys and gals?

    1) Random trade ideas

    2) New York would never do that deal

    lol...we dont need Melo on this team. Dolan would never give up Melo for this deal, and can you imagine Harden and Melo working things out? Harden at PG and Melo at SG is what your thinking?

    It would free up cap space in NYC, they need to rebuild, NYK got the money anyways, Lin would liven up the Garden. Melo already indicated he might want to leave anyways.

    no.....so he can leave us this summer...smh...we need a power forward that can shoot...one of these 3 trades would help us

    Asik+Lin for Aldridge

    Asik+Dmo for Jason Smith+Ryan Anderson

    Asik+Parsons for Kevin Love

    Not sure if the salaries match up..but i hope a trade is coming soon...this team needs a scorer in the post

    Harden, Howard and Melo going to fight eachother in the middle of the game. McHale will end up yelling at Brewer for no reason :-(

    that team might not make the playoffs. if there is already drama and b****ing and whining after 6 games this year, can you imagine Howard and Melo sulking?

    Might as well get JR too.

    Even if New York were to make that (which they won't), it's a terrible situation team chemistry wise. All three of them seem like DIVAS and I just can't imagine them becoming a team. It would be such a pathetic brand of basketball... No ball movement, chucking contested shots all day... Yuck. Definitely not a championship contender, only a lot of disappointment.

    Funny how he refers to the team as 'your' an then 'we' after that lol. I think you would quickly follow Lin to NY

    Melo is worth more than Lin and Asik.

    Win - win - win - win - win!!!!

    Jeremy the locker room cancer will no longer be here to pollute the the Rockets with his toxic garbage and stink up the Rockets' 4th quarters.

    Melo will immediately make this team a REAL contender.

    Beverley gets to further develop himself as the point guard of the team with no Jeremy in his way.

    Rockets instantly turn the PF position from one of their weakest positions into one of their strongest.

    Melo will open up looks for Dwight to be more effective in the post.

    McHale will no longer get called out for benching Jeremy Lin.

    Clutchfans will be a most awesome place to be in with Jeremy out and Melo in. No more LOFs and LOHs to pollute the place (but I will be sad to see you go, Torocan :( )



    Will take this trade 12 times out of 10 every day!
