    The players won't be complaining. They get a huge payday now from teams that are willing to overpay to pry them away from other teams.

    MAYBE in the $30 million range? Doesn't sound like an offer to me.

    Hard to tell if this is legit since the Rockets have not yet spoken to Lin face to face. Looks like "the source" might just be guessing based upon the Asik offer.

    Basically 5 y1, 5 y2, 10 y3, and 10 y4? Take that NY! Match it and be financially screwed in 2014! Abusing the Gilbert Arenas Clause ftw!

    True, but he might be worth it.

    I understand this is the Rockets backup plan, but dang, does Morey strike out on every big at bat?

    Seems we are always settling for the 2nd tier players, and what is the point of that? Just develop the young 4 this year and go from there, no need to add any veteran role players.

    Lin is not as good as Dragic - so we are downgrading a bit, but at least the Toyota center will be full.

    Seems the Rockets organization has their eye on the $$$ and not the trophy.
