    Translation after listening to him for 2 minutes (that I can't get back): In New York he was a superstar in the making... But now that I hear that he's going to Houston, he's just an "AVERAGEE, MARGINAL PLAYER!!! :mad:

    Stephen A.? Your an average, marginal sports analyst/sports talk host. :p

    You can't win games, I guess try to increase the cash flow. That's what this signing does.

    Lowry was being a little b**** and Dragic wanted 4 years. 8 million 4 years vs 8 million 3 years, morey went 3 years.

    Lin's marketability has to be attractive to divas like dwight

    Except, he was arguably the sole reason NY started winning games last year.

    With Lin and Howard the Rockets would probably get back to the major popularity we had in China when Yao was active. I think the best thing to happen in the pursuit of keeping Howard past this season is the signing of Lin. The endorsements from China will be rolling in like crazy for both of them. With Lin being so beloved it will help wear off onto Howard and get him out of the crap hole he dug for him self. He is a little pricey at 8 mil a season, but he is worth it in many areas other than just PG play.

    Tyson Chandler says hello.

    They held Lakers in that big win to 22% shooting in first quarter and held them to 36% at the end of the game. Also Lakers played back to back, they played OT with Boston night before.

    Rockets going for the inverse T-Mac Yao. Asian guard, black center.

    I guess Tyson Chandler decided to tank the first 22 games they played without Lin then. Try again, DD.

    You know what I'm worried about? That Skip Bayless will start rooting for the Rockets.

    BINGO! Lin will fill seats while we go through the rebuilding process. I said this in the beggining of this thread: if lin average 19pts 6 assists and 5 rebounds and we only win 30 games, that will give the casual fan hope of superstar potential.

    Why couldnt he get those numbers here, is not like anyone is going to complain about him taking shots.

    All the while we will get potentially 2 top 10 picks next year. This is all with the assumption that howard is not here next year.

    What's even worse is he'll be a LOF, hating on Howard at all times.
