    If we have no bosh, then why lose two draft picks? I can suffer the lofs for one more season.

    I liked Lin. It was unfair all the crazy expectations placed on him but he got the paycheck and the associated scrutiny (like Clutch remarked in his article on Chandler).

    That being said I'm glad he gets to go elsewhere. It's good for us and it's good for him - I think he struggled to fit here after the Harden/Howard acquisitions.

    I agree. Don't give up the picks. And no one takes him with no picks. So what. I don't know maybe dm signs someone like pao before Sunday and then today is not so bad. Otherwise, I don't like the trade only because draft picks build for future. Draft a better parsons.

    What are you talking about? Most I saw was that "Linsanity" troll post a few times.

    I've seen far more people spew classless vindictive hate at Lin once they found out he was leaving (conveniently forgetting that the Rockets actually ended up with a solid deal by paying him $5 million a year during his time while leaving the Lakers with the $15 million bill).

    And once the Bosh news broke, these people coped by acting as though Lin was some kind of cancer that giving him away for nothing was still worth it.

    Get a grip.

    LOFs will stay just to cheer how well Lin is doing in LA.

    Yeah, but just moving them from the GARM to NBA Dish was worth a first round pick. Thank you, Maurie!

    As a Chinese and a Rox fan for 20+ years, I have to say Lin has not been treated fairly in Houston.

    Ultimate trade idea that will never happen

    Asik to Pelicans
    Gordon and Capela to Suns
    Dragic, Ajinca to Rockets

    Lin and 2015 1st to Lakers
    Anthony and Jones to Bulls
    Gibson and Dunleavy to Rockets
    Motiejunas, multiple Bulls picks to Knick's

    We spend our MLE on one of - Humphries, Blatche or Marion

    Dragic/Beverley/Canaan
    Harden/Daniels/Johnson
    Parsons/Dunleavy
    Gibson/Humphries/Covington
    Howard/Ajinca

    I can honestly say that roster is much better then we would of been with Bosh.

    How so? Harden is better than Lin. Lin is very inconsistent. I wish Lin never came to houston because of lofs like you.
