    Michael Chang won the French Open and went on to become World number 2 ranked player behind arguably the 2nd best tennis player to every play the game - Pete Sampras. Although Chang never quite won another Grand Slam so he's sorta perceived as a one-hit wonder. But being ranked world number 2 is like the equivalent of being Karl Malone when Michael Jordan was around.

    Morey isn't so concerned with making the Rockets better, it's about making the other 29 teams worse ;)

    Last year is a team option. So it's pretty good IMO. Mid-level for 2 years (which he arguably deserves) - and then at worst he becomes an expiring contract in his third year.

    He held his own against John Wall and Kyrie Irving. I'm Chinese and watched a ot of his games. He is worth at least a mid-level (which you pay for two years). After that - he can become trade-bait as his contract is only for 3 years. Have you seen some of the $$ mediocre point guards get?

    I have no idea how you guys lost 2 quality point guards in one off-season though. This is not a bad consolation prize at all.

    I'm not to knowlegdeable on this restricted free-agent thing. So if NYK does match, does Lin have the right to decline?

    You are by far the most annoying poster I have seen in awhile.

    Are you even a rockets fan?

    You should walk over to the Knicks forums sometimes. They are the absolute worst.

    For some reason - they think that all players want to play in New York and are stupid if they don't.

    He is an annoying troll. Just ignore him. He posts and runs.

    Dragic -> Lowry -> Lin -> Brooks
    Howard -> Drummond -> Camby -> Asik -> Patterson

    This is what tank looks like...
