    Lets be honest, Lin is a lot better than Dragic is.

    Kyle trumps them all though. I think Lin will be on Lowry's level once he gets a consistent jumpshot though.

    I would rather have paid lin than dragic. lowry didnt like it here and was going to leave anyways plus we got a hell of a trade for him which was a major part of the hardin deal.
    interestingly, Morey did a good job of selling that pic high too, the raps are looking alot better lately, if they keep playing like this, they could have a shot at the playoffs in the weak east.

    Lin is younger than Dragic or Lowry, and he brings chemistry and celebrity power to this team.

    He's a pretty damn good player too, and he could become a top 10 PG in a few years.

    Lin brings in additional 5 million a year at least in advertising and marketing...

    His 3rd in all star voting....with international appeal

    will 60 minutes or sports illustrated ever do stories on dragic or lowry ?

    Having a player who appeals to china.. soon to be the biggest economy in the world...is a plus

    What production? KLowry from bench? If he is produtive, as least should have kept his starter job at Toronto, not mention the Raptors is at the bottom 5 of the weak East.

    KLowry won't be missed.

    Dragic is a good player but if he had gotten wracked in the head one night and then headbutted in the face the next night he'd be crying.

    You can argue that Dragic and Lowry are better scorers than Lin.

    But there is no way Dragic and Lowry are better PGs than Lin, where being a PG is running the team, making others better, feeding the hot hand, etc.

    Maybe better scorers at the moment but not in the long run. I never saw Lowry or Dragic get the the basic the way Lin can. They would get there but a lot of the times it seemed like it was a circus shot, Lin has something special when his jump shot comes around I think most Rocket fans will be happy he is our PG over Lowry and Dragic.

    Lowry is a very good point guard just because he isn't a Rocket you don't need to speak bad of him. He always played hard and busted his ass as a Rocket, that is one of things I liked best about him.

    Lin is better than Lowry and Dragic. Dude is 24 years old coming off a knee surgery and putting up comparable numbers to Prime Dragic, and Prime Lowry.

    Not sure why you would compare an experience duo to an inexperience Jeremy Lin. To be honest I don't know much about all three players, but Jeremy Lin seems to have the star power, and leadership quality. Do those other two have leadership qualities? Probably not Lowry (base on the antics I seen in Toronto). Maybe Dragic...but I haven't seen him play much in Houston or Phoenix.
