    It's not a Lin bashing thread -- it just shows how much he cares about his teammates.

    Seems like a very positive thread as he did play and put up great numbers, but he was missing his friends while he did it.

    He probably got depressed for a while thinking there was a chance Parsons would get traded.

    I kind of like that Lin said it. PG position is where trust and team chemistry should begin. I'd be more worried if the trades didn't effect him at all.

    He must have been realy mad to say it out loud.

    On top of their talents and potential, this young Rocket team's friendship and camaraderie is another reason why we love them so much.

    Nothing surprising here. Lin is a genuine guy who cares for his teammates. Players and even coaches should be upset.

    Let Maury be the bad guy.

    You know, there were three players from Sacramento that got traded too. This idea that Morey is the only person that trades players is annoying.

    Glad he cares, natural human response; I love this kid. He is everything that is good about the game. And he is starting to find his mojo.

    I could understand why he would miss TD who has been nothing but gracious during linsanity and then following Lin to Houston...

    But why would he miss PPat and Morris who refused to set picks for him?

    As for Aldrich, I guess he sorta fits the Fields-Novak-Lee-Parsons-Curry mold.

    Right, so many other teams in the NBA make trades.

    Meanwhile, the longest tenure on the current Rocket team is Parsons with 1 year. Did I say Morey is the only one that trades players? But across the league would agree with me on Morey is one of the most aggressive GMs.
