    Now that's a bargain.

    Rockets' 2015 pick is most likely going to land in the 20-30 range unless the roster completely implodes. Basically a glorified 2nd round pick with more financial obligations.

    Toss in that they're sending back cash... makes me wonder what else is in the deal...

    Morey. :p

    LOL

    So you know that this forum always needs someone as scapegoat whenever something goes wrong.

    As Clutch said in the other article, Parsons position is also moved up. :p

    I wonder if Lin still feels the Rockets "disrespected" him by sending him to his home state.

    On top of this, this is a situation where Lin could flourish. We could really see a Linsanity II due to the huge LA market.

    Sign Nelson up, otherwise I don't see this roster working.

    Cool, you're a racist and you admit it but you don't want to get banned.

    Lakers can turn Lin into millions of dollars. Way more valuable to them than the sixers. Hinkie was likely doing a smokescreen to drive Lakers price down.

    I wonder who's the overseas player that we just got. Anyone know who the Lakers have the rights to?

    Awesome that we seem to be able to keep the NO pick! That's huge.

    I'm glad because I was really tired of the LOH's.

    They were even worse than the crazy LOF's.

    Same thing depending on who you talk to.;)

    When it's all said and done, good for the Rockets. Good for Lin! Be happy instead of wanting to act like you have to gloat for whatever reason.

    I am very unhappy with the anti-Lin remarks. I am glad the trade will be going through. We needed to move him. Hope he will do well in LA.

    Hope Omer will be traded quickly too.
