Mark Deeks: Houston trying to dump Jeremy Lin, prioritize salary over basketball assets

Exactly.

I actually expected this rumor to surface tonight.

If true, he's got to have his sights set on Smoove or Millsap maybe - someone like that. (if T-Rob gets moved also)

I'm not sure he moves Asik if he's able to move T-Rob AND Lin.

If he was able to attach Royce to either move, as well as maybe T. Jones, we'd likely have enough to get a Josh or Millsap type.

Definitely don't think it has anything to do with CP3 (and it probably doesn't get done anyway, but still exciting to speculate)

 

There will be a large mass of people gone if this is true and happens.

 

Why? We "LOFs" don't care where he plays . Indeed, I've read that lots of his fans want him out of Houston.

 

Which might not necessarily be a bad thing

 

Guys, remember how much he sucked in the playoffs?

 

no ones hating on him its just reaction from a report with "sources"

 

Really we're gonna quote Mark Deeks?!?!?

 

FIFY

 

lin, asik, trob for KG, rondo?

 

Actually, I love Mark's website and use it a lot.
He's really putting himself out there. I hope he makes it as a professional journalist.

 

That's what I don't understand, why his emphasis on salary hike. Shouldn't the emphasis be on moving Lin for the salary cap.

 

More like Lin and Asik for Rondo and Dwight's buddy Lee

 

Bank it Rockets to trade Lin to Sacramento for Trey Burke

 

Funny thing is this exactly what so many people argued as a legit reason that Lin could/should be moved, but they were all met with "LOH/ABJ" bs comments.

 

lol.... unbelievable.

 

Anyone give background on Mark Deeks?

 

Ask Carl, he's the one sleeping with him.

 

Please trade lin for nothing please

 

i think the Kings have a new GM now LOL

 

Lin needs to be shopped for the chance of CP3, imagine if on the very very slim chance that Paul decides he wants to form a trio that we have no way of moving Lin and have to say no? lol
