    Kyle Lowry for Lin would make sense for everyone if Lowry decides he wants to come back to Houston.

    Lin becomes "The Real Man" and can have the ball in his hands as much as he wants. The Raptors are very much like the Rockets team Lin joined before the Harden trade.

    Lowry comes back to the place where his potential is realized. He can redeem himself for how things ended when he left.

    Toronto has a HUGE asian fan base so like Houston, they will be selling out games just by having Jeremy Lin. I would even throw in DMo or a pick (Not the Pelican one though)

    Houston gets a real point guard with real point guard skills. No offense to Lin but he is really a SG and Bev doesn't have the pure point guard mentality. Kyle is probably the perfect running mate with Harden; tough minded, can play off the ball but still create. I think Kyle is good enough to be the 3rd best player on a championship team.

    except Lowry is far and away in a different calibre of player in regard to Lin...

    If Plan A is Lebron, Plan B/C is Melo/Love, I would be happy with Plan D being Lowry, Hawes/Gasol while keeping Parsons.

    Really hoping for Melo/Love to happen at least though.

    Why not? Parsons would be getting paid around 12 million/year which is near loves salary.

    True but Lin is a marketing tool and an expiring deal. Maybe Toronto wants to sell more tickets while still remain somewhat competitive in the East, Lin can provide that.

    Haha, did you not consider digital Chandler Parsons life long dream of playing in Minny? I read it on the 2k forums....

    He would not blink at the opportunity to sign and trade there!!

    If they sign Lowry, I don't see how they can get Anthony or Love.
