Jeremy Lin is better than Patrick Beverly and he's coming off the bench. If it makes the team cohesively better, then you do that every time. The question is, does Asik playing and Howard coming off the bench add up to better performance on the court.

I wish Asik would accept his role, but someone made him a promise and it's not being kept. I'm all about maximizing and winning. If starting Howard gives you more wins, so be it, but it is worth consideration if Omer needs to start to be happy.

Think about it, Omer wears down the opposing starting center and then you have the better player coming into the game you have to deal with. Increased number of matchup problems...

So you want the 20 million dollar man to come off the bench. Bwhahahahaha

Please Omer.. Just make the best of a bad situation.

But seriously.. we got D12.. its not like we went out and signed Sammy D to start. Understand he wants to get minutes for a variety of valid reasons. He's made it clear he wants out and he deserves that but... not until the trade deadline. Have to be realistic with your employer. The December idea was nice and seemed like everyone was pushing hard for it but.. not like any other team was in any sort of rush. He can earn his paycheck, and play basketball until then. If somehow trades worked in the business world, I think I would accept knowing I was working for a deadline the rest of the industry is on. And I don't even play basketball or make millions for a living. After the deadline he has earned the privilege to be upset or even go as far to not play.

It's not the Rockets fault that Omer isn't good enough to play more, it's his fault. He's getting what he "deserves" right now.
