    I think out of all the rumors surrounding interests in Rondo, he would only likely re-sign in Houston.

    I'd do Millsap/Teague for Asik/Lin in a heartbeat, esp if we're not giving up anything else.

    You have TJ and DMo to back up Millsap and Howard

    Beverley
    Gordon
    Harden
    Parsons/Jones
    Howard

    Is a nice squad, wouldn't mind getting him for one or both of Lin and Asik.

    He's talking about Meth...Some really strong meth...

    As in, if you take Eric Gordon you must be high.

    There is no riddle to any of that stuff.

    Duke Blue Devils = Austin Rivers

    seriously though... Doc Rockets tweets are fun but I wouldn't take them that serious.

    However the Rockets have had interest in Eric Gordon before. I know Harden being here makes things a little tricky but I do know that Morey is a fan of his talent.... which I am as well.

    Oh and Austin Rivers....pffftt.... no thank you. He's basically a poor mans Jeremy Lin... which isn't saying much (Sorry Jeremy).

    Jeff Teague is shooting 41.2% overall and 25.6% from downtown this season. Jeremy Lin is shooting 46.5% overall and 34% from downtown this season.

    Yeah right.

    Wow, didn't think of it that way. Now I say you do this all day, every day.

    Sounds like Atlanta deal is a three way thing. Atlanta is not in the Midwest. No clue how any numbers involving the Gasol contract would work. He makes like 20 million I thought.


    Yeah, I think he's saying that moving Eric Gordon is the hold up for other things happening, but that whoever is holding this up is smoking that meth amphetamine.

    Who the hell said I was a Lin fan? I'm talking stats from the first 50+ games of the season(allowing for games missed). That's not something you just dismiss or look at in a vacuum. We need our guards to be able to knock down outside shots. Lin is streaky, but he's far more reliable than Teague.

    Got this as a LOaFer response to my very simple mathematics routine I call subtraction of Offensive PER from Opponent PER:

    "What I said was simply 16.2>14.4. I am not interested in what you wanted to say below."

    Great material, right? I don't actually want to get rid of them. I want to educate them, watch them grow up into Houston Rockets fans, and get them thinking objectively about how to make the Rockets the best ever. They have the passion, but it's currently misguided. They'll come around.

    Midwest city is definitely Milwaukee, doc says can linsanity "Brew", Brew is capitalized and which MLB team plays in Milwaukee? The brewers. Then he talks about ilyasova whose contract is match for Lin's

    It's a simple case of just looking at stats rather than watching games.

    I have seen Teague ball and this guy can play and run a team from the PG position better than Lin. He may be having a down season but there are other factors that go into it when comparing Lin vs Teague

    - Teague just lost his franchise player Horford so obviously defenses will tighten up on him.

    - On the contrary, Lin Rockets 4th option on offense behind Dwight, James and Parsons and obviously opposition defenses will focus on the other 3 primarily while slacking off on Lin.

    Shooting percentages are not the be all, end all. Lots of other things to consider when evaluating players
