    1. It does happen. You guys are right.

    2. Publicly though to show a team members number is a bit off putting.

    3. Yes it is a matter of how you look at it. Some realize now the nba is rough and lin got his and maybe will get more who knows.

    4. Pr wise it was definitely bungled and this this stuff will not happen again to any player at least in public.

    Its all varying degrees of rationality. The line fans are less rational. That isn't to say non Lin fans are rational.

    I didn't know there was an outside billboard of the Anthony photoshop? The only picture I've seen looks like it's clearly inside the Toyota Center.

    Lin should have just shut up. Obviously Lin and Melo don't go well together ever since the Linsanity days. They seem to have some resentment against each other.

    That said, as much as I am tired of the Lin drama around here, I am honestly also tired of all the superstar pitching thing. Teams put out all this red carpet stuff as if the egos of ball players aren't big enough already. It disgusting.

    I agree. I would much happier with our old roster. We had to ask Dwight to come here? What a mistake. :mad:

    Lin fans will find a reason to go crazy. Hence why this thread continues. No body cares about the passive aggressive Christian from Harvard. Continue to quote the bible and have a holier than though attitude Lin, a real Christian wouldn't have said anything (sin of pride and all).

    Nope. But last time I checked, quoting Bible verses for attention about someone taking your number in professional basketball was no where in the good book. Let's be honest, he's doing it for attention.

    If I'm getting 15 million dollars as a severance package then my boss can do whatever he wants and I won't complain. Haha

    Likewise, Rockets have the choice of using #15 or not use jersey number at all until Melo is signed.

    Can someone show me a picture of them using Scola's # while recruiting Bosh? And a picture of Beverley's # while recruiting Dwight? And are these situations done without informing them? If someone can show me that..i'll pass.

    Stop blaming this on Lin being 'butthurt' or his 'crazy internet stalker friends' (when this has been criticized by many longtime Rox fans and fans around the league) because that is not the issue. Bottom line is Rockets handled the situation poorly.

    I dont care if its Lin, Harden, Budinger, or freaking Jermaine Taylor. I don't want OUR players treated like this. I want our team to treat its players like a family. I'm tired of teams whoring themselves out, begging stars to come to their team.
