Rockets Signs Lin

adrenaLINe · Post #46 » by **adrenaLINe** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 1:57 am

what is this... Clutchfans seem to love this deal...

where as here... most of you 12 posters hate the deal..

bottom line this team is lottery bound... if Lin turns out to be a bust... the next 3 years...

then your Tanking will be on track...

and it wont matter anyways because Rox will suck for the next 5 years anyways...

if Lin turns out to be "true" All star material... then his play alone will make your games bearable to watch...

as for Dwight... slow footed Yao use to make Dwight his Biatch when they matched up...

thats because Dwight is useless when he cant move his man...

Lin is not as good as dragic or lowry. We just paid more money to downgrade the pg spot. But we will make shat ton of money off of him tho.

lin is 23, both lowry and dragic are 26 so it's not that farfetched to say that he could improve to their levels, assuming what he did in new york wasn't a fluke.

im too lazy to read this **** but we wont be paying lin 15mil on his last year right? then he wont be that overpaid if at all by then. there's always room for imrovement when you're young.

it'd be evenly distributed, 8 million per year.

Morey has done a good job in avoiding bad deals and now we might have 2 if the Bull do not match in one offseason.

You overreach/overpay for potential in the draft not free agency.

By the way Dragic and Nash got less

the point of morey's offer was to pry him away from the knicks. we could have easily offered dragic money but they'd be less pressured on resigning him.

and nash got 27 through 3 years, 9 million.

I would rather have Dragic over a vasty overpaid Lin.

I guess I read wrong on Nash.

knicks fan here not trolling. Two things I wanted to clear up with you guys. The first thing is that Houston will have to pay Jeremy LIn $14.9M in year three because that is the offer sheet he signed and they can pull it, but it would prevent future free agents from trying to sign with them, it would be almost bush league if they did. The second thing is that Houston hasn't provided the Knicks with the offer sheet that Jeremy allegedly signed so they can decide if they want to match or not. The process is normally a team signs a restricted free agent and the team that has that restricted free agent has up to three days to match. What is very fishy in this scenario is that even though Lin allegedly sign the offer sheet Houston has presented the offer sheet. So my question is did Jeremy Lin actually sign an offer sheet? Houston appears to be playing games because if Jeremy signed the offer sheet on Friday why has Houston not sent the offer sheet to New York. There appears to be some type of trickery going on here.

i'm both a huge fan of dragic & lin. i think lin has higher upside than both dragic and lowry. great get for the rockets if NYK doesn't match.

Knicks are being little cry babies about it....http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2 ... fer-sheet/

Also Rockets have the $25 million split evenly over 3 years as far as cap hit so it isnt a poison pill for us....

looks like he is coming here and NYK just traded for felton back....http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2 ... fer-sheet/

so there are two conflicting stories out there in regards to whether the knicks received the offer sheet or not, but if you want to believe that one, then okay that's fine. I will believe that Houston hasn't provided the offer sheet. As far as the $14.9M in year three. That is what has been reported by every nba writer, so you can't spread it out for Houston and then spike it up for New York it doesn't work that way. The offer sheet is basically to match whatever the team trying to sign your free agent is offering that's why it's called a match. In regards to the Felton trade I actually think there maybe a science to the madness of Grunwald. Is it possible that NY is trying to screw Houston over by getting the last remaining point guard in free agency and then turn around and match jeremy lin leaving Houston scrambling, The more I think about it the more I think that's what is going on here because New York has never cared about paying Luxury tax never. I think they sign Jeremy lin and felton and play kidd more at the two guard spot.

Yes you can. Its called the arenas rule. For ny its 5 5 15, for us lins contract will be 8 8 9.
Its been reported everywhere. look it up.

Also after felton(who was never on our radar) we can sign aaron brooks. Go sign him too if nys plan is to hog all the pg.

i wouldn't mind having aaron too as a backup, but he might get more $ elsewhere.

Ask yourself this... why the f*ck would NY care about screwing over Houston? Not like they gonna meet the Rockets in the finals anytime soon.

Well the new CBA tax penalties are stepper... maybe they learned from their decade long mistakes of overpaying.

Anyway hope NY matches, hope Dwight stays in ORL i've be converted to the tank wagon, and i can't handle all this drama.

I trust Morey
