    Lin in LA would be good for all.

    And I would not laugh as much at that train wreck if they do us this solid.

    Lin will run more P&Rs there then he ever did as a Rocket.

    If Lin makes it to the Lakers he will be the starting PG for the West in the All Star Game next year.

    I'm greedy. I want the Rockets to keep that Pelicans pick to package with Parsons for another star or at least some near star players.

    I would settle for one out of two, and sorry to say it, but my one would be DMo. Which player picked up his post defense after the ASB last year? Which player got torched by LMA? 'Nuff said.

    They can't trade Parsons till December and only with his consent.

    How golden: Kobe tip riders v LOF's. This would be such a beautiful bonus.

    Probably just enough to keep Jones. I doubt Bosh knows much of DMo if at all. But Jones has been on the national radar, so Bosh may feel he's significant enough to take a slight paycut.

    If Jrue Holiday can make an all-star squad, don't be surprised that Lin can make it too just by merit. If given the ball to play tons of P&R, he can blow up his numbers easily.

    Why not? They will all probably take one year deals and then lakers will go big in 2015. They want to compete next year.

    Ugh. I like Lin and will probably still support him, but Lakers fans are the last fanbase I want to be associate with.

    Expiring trash+draft picks...not the worst way to rebuild a team.

    Lin can show Kobe how to win. Not a more perfect fit if you ask me.

    Ehh, Motiejunas can go.

    He would have to take about 18.6 mill as his staring salary for us to keep this roster

    Beverley
    Harden
    Parson
    Bosh/Jones
    Howard

    no way he takes 17.2 mill as his starting salary just to keep Motiejunas who won't get much playing time.
