    agreed the lin things wasn't handled properly, they figured as with most nice people they can do whatever and he'll be ok with it. that's usually what happens when people are too nice. had lin just played more consistently early on this wouldn't be an issue. understanding he got jerked around a lot but he missed a lot of timely shots, had turnovers at the worst times and was so inconsistent it was frustrating as hell to watch and i'm sure management felt the same way, especially mchale.
    at this point it's just best to cut bait and either GS or Philly would be a good chance to help him develop his game. too much division and past history now in houston. he needs a fresh start somewhere else.

    Jeremy Lin... Jeremy Lin...

    Didn't he used to play for the Rockets? Backup PG, if I recall.

    This is why I think all this bending over backward coddling of superstar FAs is so disgusting. If I had a say, I would ban this kind of recruiting and ask all FOs to conduct their negotiation and recruitment in a businesslike manner. But I know they won't because it's this kind of big egos the league is selling to the public.

    very true. i found the quote by carmelo wanting the "full free agency experience" kind of funny. Kind of like ' the full girlfriend experience' you see on callgirls websites..ummm umm not that I visit those type of places but a friend of friend of course.

    Totally agree, it's all a big ego-feed. But at least the Rockets GM knows that and plays it up big.

    My guess is Morey would alter the style of presentation to match the ego of the FA in question.

    *yawn*

    Who cares? Lin changed numbers when he joined the Knicks and when he joined Houston. He'll have whatever number he has with either the Rockets or with the Knicks.

    If they have to put Lin's, Harden's, or Dwight's number on a jersey to get Melo, then they should do it. They can sort out the details afterwards.

    Is anyone really that surprised that Jeremy is very upset? He said so many times that Chandler and Pat are like brothers to him - and to essentially get the boot from a recruiting poster without notification? Lots of reasons to feel slighted.

    Lol this dude. Henry is an unristricted free agent. Basically not even on the team anymore. If he wants to make a comparison, make a better one than that.
