    the true questions we should ask are...

    1) Is Lin's contract vs player value a net positive/wash/negative
    2) Is his value around the league more or less than his value to the Rox
    3) Would Lin and his contract impede the Rox from getting that 3rd star

    Persoally, I didn't feel the lin signing was made to upgrade the roster. It was a non basketball marketing ploy.The way dragic was playing under mchale,I felt like we got worse for suits. I feel like rockets wanted some fan intrest during the rebuild. Then harden drops in their lap and playoffs are real. I think dragic-harden backcourt would've been great.Throw in parsons and now howard and that's the best 5 in the nba.

    Nowadays 6 or 7 or 8 millions is actually normal number for a starting pg.

    Don't forget Rockets are also paying him for his potentials.

    Lin is better than those 3 players and they are getting similar money so he's definitely underpaid.

    Statistically he may be on their level but he has a better winning % than those other guys. If you wanted to field a winning basketball team and had to choose between those 4, I would take Lin over those career losers anyday.

    That's like saying someone's dumb relative to the Nobel Prize in Physics scale.

    If you want to moderate the board, you can apply a job with Clutch I am sure.

    But if Lin's contract was around 5-6 mil, Knicks would have matched the offer.

    Yeah! That's why we all know Chalmers tops any chart of current point guards.

    You think Morey would have paid a penny more if he could have not to?

    I wasn't really advocating getting Chalmers to take Lins place, just trying to point out how stupid it is to say that a single player is better than another player based on there TEAMS winning percentage like that poster was.
