    Liked the trade a lot more before the Bosh fiasco.

    Lin still wearing a red backpack. Looks weird.

    Is this still a good move for Rockets without Bron, Melo and Bosh? Wouldn't we get more if we trade him before trade deadline as an expiring contract? At least I don't think we need to include a 1st round pick.

    Even if Kobe doesn't play as much, am i the only person who believes this will be terrible for him? The people are literally expecting linsanity! If the pressure was too much in Houston, i can't imagine what LA will do to him.

    Honestly, you can't help but feel sorry for the guy.

    LOL, how is it terrible for him? Any situation is better than his was here in Houston imo.

    The pressure wasn't "too much" here, he simply was treated like crap which most will refuse to see or admit.

    He gets to go back to Cali, play in LA/OC area that has the largest asian community in the US, will have the ball in his hands and get to play his position.

    He's probably happy as hell right now.

    I'm curious to see who becomes the scapegoat next season now that the whipping boy has been traded.

    Patrick beverly will be the next scapegoat. I guarantee it. A one dimensional player playong 40 minutes a game is going to wind up costing us games at some point

    After the Jordan Hill for 9 Mil signing, it's pretty obvious 2014-15 is a low expectation throwaway season for the Lakers

    Lin is literally the 2nd best person on the roster right now and will be allowed to freelance on the floor.

    He'll also have Kobe and Nash in his ear. If the Lakers get Byron Scott, they'll have a coach who values PG play. Better all around situation for him

    I liked him as a player but these damn unrealistic expectations from LOF's really made this board pretty embarrassing when discussing about Lin (and even Harden). Ultimately he just wasn't a good fit for us

    Yeah I wouldn't be surprised. Well actually it's goona be a battle between him and TJones. But yeah, I can see those two becoming 1a and 1b in terms of the team scapegoat.

    The vote here is lopsided because both Rox and Lin fans like the deal.....

    The only gripe I have is I think the Rox could have gotten more in return.

    LOL Sports Center just reported 7:08 p.m. CST that we DID get more when they misreported that Houston traded Lin to Lakers FOR a first round pick.

    does this created a $8.7Mil. TPE for us? even after we signed Ariza?

    what other draft consideration did we surrendered and who's that "overseas player" we got? my guess is Chinemelu Elonu who play for CAI Zaragoza of the Spanish League, a 6-10/235lb body we can throw in our summer league. who else they have is currently playing oversea?

    Nah, there may be some out-there LA fans who are overexcited but the Lakers fan base in general seems to see this primarily as a chance to get a couple of good draft picks.

    The Rockets used to own the rights to Lishouk. They got him through a trade with Grizzlies IIRC. Guy's over 30 and never going to play in the NBA.

    The money + draft rights were so the trade would be approved by the League's front office.
