It will be a locker room problem, if Dwight Howard comes to the Rockets. Very large time-bomb in the locker room.
Thank you. I don't understand why some of these people reacted like I have insulted his entire family or something? What's up with the hate? Lin's contract is so ridiculous it can potentially cause chaos in our locker room and hurt the chemistry of the team? This is a valid point to discuss unless you don't care about the Rockets.
I hear where you are coming from. But I do not think his contract will cause problems. What happened in NY (in terms of players openly saying negative things about another players money) is a rarity. In pretty much all cases, players are happy for one another.
It's been my impression from Lin's NY Knicks post-game interviews that he always attributes wins to team play, praises his teammates' contributions and thanks the crowd's energy during games. If he continues this attitude when playing in the Rockets uniform, I don't see he would create any locker room problem. I'll see what he does before making a conclusion.
What benefits (in any kind) JR Smith would get in "blackmouthing" Lin? Trying to hurt your former teammate's reputation and future is unethical. I ain't concerned at all. Let's await to see how Lin and Rox perform in the coming season.
