    It must really kill you to have to watch Lin play for the Rockets. Despite what you think, Lin will do what Lin wants to do. He might just be, hold your breath, happy to be here playing for a young, contending team. Hell he might end up as the starter here down the road this year or beyond.

    And he's played two games since missing two weeks. I'd bet money he averages close to 25-30 minutes a game by the end of the year.

    But feel free to continue the thinly disguised agenda with the trade talk.

    Pau has 3 rings and and was the 2nd option I multiple championship teams. He is the perfect catch and shoot strech 4. Isn't that the last missing piece ? You got your core 4 in Harden howard Bev and parsons.

    To boot you either get a prototype 3 and D type to back up Bev and you have AB for offense.

    It's a good deal. Pau is getting moved it's a gonna happen. Houston should get in on it.

    the flyswatter guards are a terrible defensive matchup for lin, even when fully healthy and we just played 2 of them.

    Lin+Kobe?

    Kobe may not look to shoot as much since he's aging but he will still have the ball literally every possession.

    I advise against this trade

    That's LA's problem. You guys just trade Lin.

    no and then Lofs will ask for Lin to be traded from LA. it will never stop

    Let Lin have a settled career with one team instead of making him a journeyman, because you're not happy

    That guy needs to be banned. He keeps going on about Lin and says trade Lin every posts. He's like an extreme Beverley fan that Beverley would never approve of. Beverley loves having Lin as a team mate and does not want to see him traded.

    I'd rather see Lin go to a team where he truly gets the chance to handle the ball and play solid consistent minutes. This means he goes to a team with no star player(s). Knicks with Melo, in my mind, is a way better fit than Houston with Harden. Only way you get good in the league is to play....no one gets better by warming benches.

    I think Lin values a chip more than empty numbers

    Really…. you lose all credibility on here if you come on after that game tonight and b**** about Jeremy Lin's minutes.

    -Guys coming off a fairly major knee injury
    -Steph Curry was on the basketball court tonight (and Beverley played him really well)
    -Lin was really struggling
    -Lin could not get the ball fed in the post
    -Beverley had the game of his life on both ends

    Go away…. You aren't Rockets fans, its ok to admit it…. just get over it and go watch re-runs of Linsanity in New York.

    Yeah I'm sure Luke Walton wouldn't trade that empty ring he wears for Charles Barkley's, Gary Payton or Karl Malone's career.

    No one values a chip if you get it by warming benches. This team is not getting one with or without Lin with Howard, Harden, and Parsons as your big 3. It's not about empty numbers but all about growth.....only way to develop properly is to get consistent minutes night in and night out. Some players, like Lebron James, have it from the start.....some take years of daily grind to reach certain level (Toney Parker). Lin doesn't have much time....if he sits too long he's going to get flushed out...that simple.

    Lin truly is talented. He is the ONLY player in the league averaging 30 minutes per game while at the same time being a bench warmer. Amazing to see.
